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 causing chaos in a countryside town in Lancashire.

The Series The Iris Affair

Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to skip ahead as the sixth episode starts, before a tense standoff, reminiscent of a Mexican or Sardinian scenario ensues, when Cameron compels Iris to exchange her journal for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “riddled with bullets” from Meski’s menacing drone … What escape plan can they devise?
