Brassic
Thursday, Sky One HD, 10pm
There are plenty more madcap money-making scams and outrageous capers in store as comedy drama Brassic returns for a new six-part run this week.
Set in the fictional village of Hawley, Lancashire, and featuring a tight-knit group of working-class mates, the series was a huge success for Sky One last year and a third series is already in the pipeline.
Co-created by BAFTA-winning Danny Brocklehurst and Joseph Gilgun, who plays bipolar loner Vinnie, the series also features Damien Molony as Vinnie’s best pal Dylan, Tom Hanson as champion kebab-eater Cardi, Aaron Heffernan as gay Traveller Ash, Ryan Sampson as sexually liberated Tommo, and Michelle Keegan as single mum Erin.
The first series saw the gang involved in stealing a Shetland pony, kidnapping a police officer, and Vinnie faking his own funeral to avoid scary local gangster Terence McCann (Ramon Tikaram). Meanwhile, Dylan discovered that Vinnie was the real father of his girlfriend Erin’s son Tyler, while Erin received a surprise marriage proposal from fellow student Jake (Anthony Welsh).
The action picks up with Vinnie still hiding out from Terence – until Tommo and Erin need his help with a new business proposition. We caught up with former Our Girl star Keegan, 32, to hear more about the series…
