Brassic Ends Its Run with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode
Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are concluding on their comedy series about a tight-knit bunch of likable chancers running riot in a countryside town in Lancashire. One could anticipate the last episode to be a nostalgic highlight reel of alcohol, substances, and playful theft. However, the atmosphere turns much more somber as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the crew barricade themselves in a pub with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode apparently inspired by Quentin Tarantino.
Dragons’ Den
8pm on BBC One
Ballet dancers leap into 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 eye surgeon turned inventor has a clever gadget for lost tape ends.
All Creatures Great and Small
9pm on Channel 5
The animal-related escapades are all fine, but this excellent historical series proves its worth with emotional character development.

The Drama The Hack
9pm, ITV1
It’s been a long road. But the second-to-last episode of this at first slow-moving but eventually gripping series about phone hacking sees Nick, portrayed by David Tennant uncovering information about the News of the World’s conduct that the other media outlets simply are forced to acknowledge. The situation improves for Dave, who has a unexpected new supporter.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
9pm, 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 sing, dance, act and finally impress as they get ready for the show. 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 the sixth episode starts, 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 “riddled with bullets” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … What escape plan can they devise?
