Brassic Calls it a Day with Tarantino-Inspired Last Episode

The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are wrapping up on their humorous show about a tight-knit bunch of endearing rogues causing chaos in a rural Lancashire town. You might expect the finale 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 bar with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a final 50th installment apparently inspired by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.

The Series The Iris Affair
