Brassic

10pm, Sky Max

Joe Gilgun and Daniel Brocklehurst’s lively comedy-drama returns to never-a-dull-moment Hawley for a fourth season. Vinnie (Gilgun) is moping about after Erin (Michelle Keegan) and her son Tyler’s (Jude Riordan) abrupt departure, but he soon kicks into action when he learns where they are. Cue an eventful road trip to Wales with the rest of the gang (“The last thing I want to do is run around the Welsh countryside looking for a fucking orange nymphomaniac!”). Hollie Richardson

Season two of the razor-sharp period comedy about Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning) has doubled down on scandalous scheming in the Russian court.
