The Comedy Series Brassic Calls it a Day with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode
Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are wrapping up on their humorous show about a tight-knit bunch of endearing rogues running riot in a rural Lancashire town. You might expect the finale to be a greatest hits victory lap of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. However, the atmosphere turns much more somber as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the crew barricade themselves in a bar with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode apparently inspired by Quentin Tarantino.
Dragons’ Den
8pm on BBC One
Dancers from the ballet world enter the den this week, as 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, Channel 5
The veterinary adventures are all fine, but this superior period drama proves its worth with tender character work. An especially moving installment weaves the stories of a injured draft horse and a vanished calf into a more serious storyline focusing on Tristan, whose behaviour prompts a fraternal intervention.
The Drama The Hack
9pm, ITV1
The journey has been lengthy. Yet the penultimate episode of this initially sluggish but ultimately compelling series about phone hacking sees David Tennant’s Nick discovering details about the actions of the News of the World that the rest of the media simply are forced to acknowledge. The situation improves for the character Dave, who has a surprising new ally.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK
9pm, BBC Three
Prepare for enthusiastic gestures: it’s time to present Peter Pansy – The Musical! That means the stress increases for the drag performers to sing, dance, act and ultimately slay as they prepare for the production. And what better guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, together with 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 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 Meski’s menacing drone … What escape plan can they devise?
