What happens

Brassic is a British comedy-drama television series created by Joe Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst for Sky One. It premiered on 22 August 2019 and concluded on 30 October 2025, after seven series consisting of 50 episodes. Starting with the third series, following the shutdown of Sky One, the show was moved to Sky Max. It is the joint longest-running scripted series on Sky alongside Trollied. Primary cast members include Gilgun, Michelle Keegan, Damien Molony, Tom Hanson, Aaron Heffernan, Ryan Sampson, Parth Thakerar, and Steve Evets. The title is an alternative spelling of "boracic" as in boracic lint, a medical dressing, the name of which is rhyming slang for "skint" (having no money). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
