TV Tonight: Brasic calls it a day with Tarantino-inspired finale | television

copper

10pm Sky Max
Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst bring back the curtain on the comedy about a tight-knit group of likeable down-and-outs who run riot in a rural Lancashire town. You might expect the ending to be the ultimate triumph of booze, drugs and devious theft. But feelings are distinctly darker as Vinny (Gilgun) and the gang hide out in a bar with gangster Davey McDonagh (Neil Ashton) in a climactic 50 episode episode seemingly inspired by Quentin Tarantino. Graeme Virtue

Dragon’s lair

8pm, BBC One
Ballet dancers jump into the den this week, while single mothers Laura and Stacey show off their extensive dancewear collection – and send Peter Jones on a tour. Then, the eye surgeon-turned-inventor had a clever tool for missing tape ends. Holly Richardson

All creatures great and small

9pm on Channel 5
The veterinary adventures are all good, but this over-the-top historical drama earns its share of grace through nice character work. A particularly poignant episode weaves stories of a lame horse and a disappearing calf into a more serious story centered around Tristan (Callum Woodhouse), whose behavior leads to a brotherly intervention. Jack Seale

Penetration

9pm on ITV1
It’s been a long road. But the penultimate episode of the initially slow but ultimately interesting phone-hacking drama sees David Tennant’s Nick reveal information about world news behavior that the rest of the media can’t ignore. Things also get better for Dave (Robert Carlyle), who has a surprising new ally. Phil Harrison

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK

9pm, BBC Three
Jazz hands at the ready: it’s time for Peter Pansy – The Rusical! This means that the pressure is on the queens to sing, dance, act and eventually kill as they prepare for the production. And who better to guest judge Maz Murray, West End legend, alongside Graham Norton, Michelle Visage and RuPaul. Human resources

Iris issue

9pm, Sky Atlantic
Those with creepy-phobia will want to fast-forward to the start of episode six, before a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff occurs, when Cameron forces Iris to swap her diary for a captured Joey – otherwise she’ll “get rid of bullets” from Miske’s drone… How do we get out of this? Ali Catterall
