The Comedy Series Brassic Calls it a Day with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode
Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are bringing the curtain down on their humorous show about a close-knit group of likable chancers running riot in a countryside town in Lancashire. One could anticipate the finale to be a greatest hits victory lap of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. However, the vibes are distinctly darker as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the crew barricade themselves in a bar with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode seemingly influenced by Quentin Tarantino.
Dragons’ Den
8pm, BBC One
Ballet dancers leap into the den this week, as mothers Laura and Stacey present their line of inclusive dancewear – and send Peter Jones into a spin. Then, an ophthalmologist turned innovator has a smart device for misplaced tape edges.
The Series All Creatures Great and Small
9pm, Channel 5
The animal-related escapades are generally good, but this superior period drama proves its worth with tender character work. A particularly affecting episode intertwines the tales of a injured draft horse and a vanished calf into a more serious storyline centring on the character Tristan, whose behaviour prompts a fraternal intervention.
The Hack
9pm on ITV1
The journey has been lengthy. Yet the second-to-last episode of this at first slow-moving but eventually gripping phone-hacking drama sees Nick, portrayed by David Tennant uncovering information about the actions of the News of the World that the rest of the media simply are forced to acknowledge. The situation improves for Dave, who has a unexpected new supporter.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK
9pm on BBC Three
Jazz hands at the ready: it’s time to present Peter Pansy – The Musical! That means the stress increases for the drag performers to perform vocally, dance, and act and finally impress as they get ready for the show. And what better guest judge than renowned West End star Mazz Murray, alongside the panel including Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and RuPaul.
The Series The Iris Affair
9pm on Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to skip ahead as episode six begins, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff ensues, when Cameron forces Iris to exchange her journal for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … What escape plan can they devise?
