The Comedy Series Brassic Ends Its Run with Tarantino-Inspired Finale
The creators 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. You might expect the finale to be a greatest hits victory lap of alcohol, substances, and playful theft. However, the atmosphere turns much more somber as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the gang hole up in a bar with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode seemingly influenced by Quentin Tarantino.
The Show Dragons' Den
8pm on BBC One
Ballet dancers leap into the den this week, as single mothers Laura and Stacey pitch their range of adaptive dance attire – and cause Peter Jones to become flustered. Next, an ophthalmologist turned innovator has a smart device for misplaced tape edges.
All Creatures Great and Small
9pm on Channel 5

The Drama The Hack
9pm on ITV1
The journey has been lengthy. But the penultimate episode of this initially sluggish but eventually gripping phone-hacking drama sees David Tennant’s Nick uncovering information about the actions of the News of the World that the other media outlets simply can’t ignore. Things are also looking up for the character 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 stage Peter Pansy – The Rusical! That means the pressure is on for the drag performers to perform vocally, dance, and act and finally impress as they prepare for the production. And what better guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, alongside the panel including Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and RuPaul.
The Iris Affair
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Anyone afraid of insects will want to skip ahead as episode six begins, before a tense standoff, reminiscent of a Mexican or Sardinian scenario ensues, when Cameron forces Iris to swap her diary for the captured Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from Meski’s menacing drone … How to get out of this one?
