Brassic Ends Its Run with Tarantino-Inspired Last Episode
Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are bringing the curtain down on their comedy series about a close-knit group of endearing rogues causing chaos in a countryside town in Lancashire. You might expect the last episode to be a nostalgic highlight reel of alcohol, substances, and playful theft. But, the atmosphere turns much more somber as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the crew barricade themselves in a pub with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode seemingly influenced by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.
The Show Dragons' Den

The Series All Creatures Great and Small

The animal-related escapades are all fine, but this excellent historical series earns its corn with tender character work.

The Drama The Hack

It’s been a long road. Yet the second-to-last episode of this at first slow-moving but ultimately compelling series about phone hacking sees Nick, portrayed by David Tennant discovering details about the News of the World’s conduct 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
Jazz hands at the ready: it’s time to present Peter Pansy – The Musical!

And what better guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, together with the panel including Graham Norton, Michelle Visage, and RuPaul.
The Series The Iris Affair
9pm, 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 compels Iris to exchange her journal for the captured Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from Meski’s menacing drone … What escape plan can they devise?
