The Comedy Series Brassic Calls it a Day with Tarantino-Inspired Finale

Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are concluding on their humorous show about a close-knit group of endearing rogues running riot in a countryside town in Lancashire. One could anticipate the last episode to be a nostalgic highlight reel of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. 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.

The Show Dragons' Den

8pm on BBC One
Dancers from the ballet world enter the den this week, as mothers Laura and Stacey present their line of inclusive dancewear – and send Peter Jones into a spin. Next, an eye surgeon turned inventor has a smart device for misplaced tape edges.

All Creatures Great and Small

9pm on Channel 5
The veterinary adventures are generally good, but this excellent historical series proves its worth with emotional character development. A particularly affecting episode intertwines the tales of a injured draft horse and a vanished calf into a deeper plotline centring on Tristan, whose behaviour prompts a fraternal intervention.

The Hack

9pm on ITV1
It’s been a long road. Yet the penultimate episode of this at first slow-moving but eventually gripping phone-hacking drama sees David Tennant’s Nick uncovering information about the News of the World’s conduct that the other media outlets simply are forced to acknowledge. The situation improves for the character Dave, who has a unexpected new supporter.

RuPaul's Drag Race UK

9pm on BBC Three
Jazz hands at the ready: it’s time to present Peter Pansy – The Musical! That means the pressure is on for the drag performers to sing, dance, act and finally impress as they get ready for the show. And who better to guest judge than West End stage legend Mazz Murray, alongside Graham Norton, Michelle Visage and RuPaul.

The Iris Affair

9pm, Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to fast-forward as the sixth episode starts, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff occurs, when Cameron forces Iris to swap her diary for the captured Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … How to get out of this one?
