Well, I'm from the North East (Gateshead area) and the jokes abound here about soft Southerners wearing coats in Winter! You can see girls going to nightclubs wearing stiletto heels and thin strappy dresses, the blokes in trousers, tee shirts and trainers. Those two are wearing boots and long sleeves - almost count as overdressed 😁😁😁

I'm really looking forward to this series. My Sky subscription ended today, so it'll have to be watched via Now TV!

Just glancing through the Radio Times (I only get it once a year) and I noticed that the BBC and Sky have joined up (briefly) to show some of Sky's "biggest and best" for free.

Brassic is one of the programmes!!!!!!

To watch the entire first series without a Sky or Now Tv subscription between 18th December and 18th January you need to head over to RadioTimes.com/SkyOriginals

 

In case you missed it HERE..

we have a MAY air date & new trailer for Brassic series 2!

SPOILERS!!!

Brassic season 2 - All we know about return of hit Sky One comedy starring Joe Gilgun and Michelle Keegan [and Damien Molony!!!]

 

 

It’s been confirmed that all of the main cast are back for Brassic season 2. That's the leader of the gang Vinnie (Joe Gilgun), motivated single mum Erin (Michelle Keegan) and Vinnie's best mate Dylan (Damien Molony).

The returning cast also includes champion kebab eater Cardi (Tom Hanson), gay Traveller Ash (Aaron Heffernan), the sexually liberated Tommo (Ryan Sampson), and garage owner JJ (Parth Thakerar). 

It will also see the return of Dominic West as Vinnie’s blundering GP.

Series two will see new faces join the cast including John Thomson (Cold Feet) and Bill Paterson (Fleabag).

The official description for season 2 of Brassic doesn’t reveal many clues as to what’s in store for the gang, reading: “Season 2 picks up a few months after the events that took place in the season 1 finale. 

“Together the Brassic gang embark on even bigger and bolder misadventures around the fictitious rural town of Hawley in Lancashire.”

There are  some clues hidden in the first trailer for season 2 of Brassic. Firstly we know Vinnie’s in hiding, adopting an elaborate disguise - including new bleached hair. It also looks like Terrence McCann (Ramon Tikaram) employs Vinnie as a professional thief, after discovering Vinnie’s not dead after all at the end of season 1.

Also, we see Dylan (Damien Molony) kissing another girl in the trailer. Does that mean things are over with him and Erin (Michelle Keegan) after the events of season 1? Or that their relationship is on the rocks after Jake (Anthony Welsh) proposed to her? 

And in an interview with HeyUGuys, Gilgun hints that the trouble in Vinnie’s life continues into season 2: "There's no second album syndrome at all, we just hit the ground running. Naturally Vinnie gets into a ton of sh*t again, everything he steals is wrong and he never makes a penny from. He's long suffering is our Vinnie."

Great Brassic series 2 reviews in The Guardian and The Financial Times!

Brassic: Joe Gilgun’s drama is Ocean’s Eleven by way of Emmerdale – only better | The Guardian

"This is peak Gilgun, who always plays remixes of more-or-less the same character in everything he does, but manages it so well it doesn’t matter: brash and tender and funny, with a faultline of emotional weakness running through him, at any one time either threatening to cry about how much his friends mean to him or, alternately, giving the finger to someone out of the window of a stolen lorry while crashing it through a locked gate. This could be him in This Is England, or Misfits, or Preacher, really, but right now it’s him in Brassic, a near-perfect platform for Joe Gilgun to Gilgun on.

That’s not to take away from the rest of the cast, though: the smart foil of Damien Molony’s Dylan, the mothering-as-a-form-of-friendship role of Michelle Keegan’s Erin, Ryan Sampson as a gruff sex-empire proprietor and Dominic West as Vinnie’s posh doctor. At first blush, the supporting cast seems unnecessarily huge, but the more you watch it the more things click together; the more every role in every caper makes sense."

 

Brassic’s cast of grotesques returns for a second series on Sky One | The Financial Times (spoilers!)

4 stars ****

 

"Writer Danny Brocklehurst delights in crafting eccentric characters with unusual skills, a savage turn of phrase and a willingness to do almost anything for a bag of weed. This small Northern town with a moor rising at the end of every street boasts a cast of grotesques that wouldn’t disgrace a Dickens novel, though phrases such as “the Inspector Morse of minge” definitely would. Welcome back, dudes."
