Brassic Calls it a Day with Influenced by Tarantino Finale

The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are wrapping up on their comedy series about a close-knit group of endearing rogues causing chaos in a rural Lancashire town. One could anticipate the last episode to be a nostalgic highlight reel of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. However, the vibes are distinctly darker as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the gang hole up in a pub with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a climactic 50th episode seemingly influenced by Quentin Tarantino.

The Show Dragons' Den

8pm, BBC One
Ballet dancers leap into the den this week, as mothers Laura and Stacey present their line of adaptive dance attire – and cause Peter Jones to become flustered. Next, an eye surgeon turned inventor has a smart device for misplaced tape edges.

All Creatures Great and Small

The journey has been lengthy. Yet the second-to-last episode of this at first slow-moving but eventually gripping phone-hacking drama 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
Prepare for enthusiastic gestures: it’s time to stage Peter Pansy – The Rusical! That means the pressure is on for the drag performers to sing, dance, act and finally impress as they prepare for the production. And who better to guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, alongside Graham Norton, Michelle Visage and RuPaul.

The Iris Affair

9pm on Sky Atlantic
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 occurs, when Cameron forces Iris to swap her diary for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “riddled with bullets” from Meski’s menacing drone … How to get out of this one?
