Brassic Ends Its Run with Influenced by Tarantino Last Episode

Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are concluding on their humorous show about a close-knit group of endearing rogues running riot in a rural Lancashire town. You might expect the finale to be a nostalgic highlight reel of booze, drugs and cheeky thievery. But, the vibes are distinctly darker as the character Vinnie, played by Gilgun and the gang hole up in a bar with gangster Davey MacDonagh for a final 50th installment apparently inspired by the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.
