The new and unfortunately last series is now showing on Sky.
Absolutely loved this programme. Tommo, Farmer Jim and Davey MacDonagh my 3 fave characters. Dominic West also hilarious.

Farmer Jim's Festival rant 'Tilly and Tarquin, bank of fkn mum and dad' is an absolute classic moment

Sad, sad, sad.
I've enjoyed every series and made all the more enjoyable with quite a chunk of it filmed in my neck of the woods.
Dominic West has one of those naturally funny faces, like Michael Palin in his Monty Python days, that makes you laugh before they even speak

Most of it filmed in Bacup, I think?

Ran its course a couple of series ago imo, absolutely fantastic to start with then they just ran out of ideas i think. Some brilliant characters like Farmer Jim and Tommo as already said Dominic West is **** funny.

Loved it. Utterly Convinced that Joseph Gilgun is no actor… I reckon he’s just being himself. Some great characters, and I hope they go out with a bang.

Superb to an extent in series 1 and 2 but predictable and far fetched later on, but walking into Morrisons in Bacup and seeing some of the cast members was a pleasant surprise in the early days.

I've seen/heard interviews from him where he says it's pretty much based on his life when he was younger, so I think you're probably right.
Brassic reminded me a lot of Shameless and I then discovered Danny Brocklehurst who is part of the producers for Brassic, was also involved in the writing for Shameless.

Agree, weakest one yet. Hope it gets better. Looks like they've lost a coule of characters and have replaced them poorly.

Yeah she was in the first episode that I just watched.
I thought the first half of Episode 1 was very funny. Tommo, Vincent and Farmer Jim all on form.
I agree with what TFC said earlier about the new characters - I didn't take to them and I wouldn't have bothered bringing them in, and just gone with what they had.

Lost its way a bit from series 4 onwards.
My favourite episode is still the weed grow one, with our Ronnie in series 1.

Good time to end it, it's sadly had its day and progressively got poorer. Still a classic tho

Just watched episode 2 - hilarious. Much funnier than episode 1 imo.
Farmer Jim and Tommo end up in Germany, so it's mainly those 2. Very very funny. If you didn't enjoy episode 1, this is much better.

Epiaode 2 was quite simply the worst episode in the entire history of Brassic, Joe Gilgun going through motions is a sad sight he looks totatally disintrested,the new characters are poor,and farmer Jim spouting every other sentence C U N Thursday is simply not funny anymore,the first 2 episodes of this last series have been utter rubbish.

If you genuinely feel like that, don't watch episode 3.
Joe Gilgun hardly featured.

He's one of the producers. He produced the 'utter crap that is on offer'.

That doesn't make any sense. You stated he was trying to get away from it - clearly false as he's the producer.
If he wanted to get away from it, they'd have called time at the end of series 6.
And you just know you'll watch episode 3

Agree with that being the best episode. Looks like Ronnie is back in episode 3.

Thought he was good in "This is England". Sterling.

He certainly was. Enjoyed him in everything he’s been in, but I just get the impression it’s him, not a character.

That's true of a lot of actors IMO. Whilst there are some actors who can take on a variety of accents, change their appearance etc. there are others who are "always the same". John Wayne comes to mind. Not to say he didn't make some good films because he did but his voice was the same in every film.
