After an explosive end to season six, the Brassic gang are back. They’re busy getting their lives back in order, only now the landscape is changing. People are getting older and the question of growing up looms in the air.

But what does ‘growing up’ mean to a bunch like this?

Man-eating crocodiles, naked cults, and terrible spray tans. The MacDonagh’s are high on new-found power and cause trouble again. Vinnie and Erin try out this new ‘letting go’ phase of their relationship. And the others all face challenges of their own – there’s kids, parents, marriages. They’ve got baggage now.

But it’s Brassic, and so there’s plenty of raucous adventure to pull the gang together. Their bond proves fool-proof time and time again in this jam-packed season. Not even a giant stuffed tuna can stop them.

This season stars:

• Joseph Gilgun (Misfits, This Is England) as Vinnie O’Neil
• Michelle Keegan (Our Girl, Fool Me Once) as Erin Croft
• Ryan Sampson (Plebs, Mr Bigstuff) as Thomas “Tommo” Schaftner

Series six is comprised of seven episodes, kicking off with a countrywide mystery being solved… kind of, and a trip to Dublin, Ireland.

But wherever these lot go, trouble isn’t far behind. Thankfully, this is nothing new for them.

A retired felon has something interesting stashed away in his attic… the original FA cup stolen back in 1895. It’s just an interesting tale at first, until it gets robbed from the old dude’s home and Vinnie gets the blame.

On a mission to clear his name, Vinnie and the gang chase the real culprits all the way to Dublin and cosy up with Ireland’s criminal underbelly. This is a trip the gang won’t forget in a hurry.

We jump back in time for some answers to season five’s cliff-hanger: Manolito hiding in the weed bunker with a loaded gun. This is a man who wants blood and is willing to spend hours in a cupboard to get it.

But fortunately for the gang, things don’t go to plan. Cue carnage, cover-ups, and a hungry crocodile. To make matters more complicated, the MacDonagh’s come sniffing around, and Erin announces that she wants a fresh start.

Farmer Jim’s old flame is back on the scene and reigniting something in the old man. It’s an erotic trip down memory lane, which turns out isn’t for the faint-hearted. Confronted by this racy past, Jim finds himself exposed – both his heart and his balls.

Meanwhile, JJ’s back! The gang come up with an elaborate scheme to clear his name involving some suspect spy action and a pair of ridiculous glasses.

Gideon has found his people; the only problem is they’re all naked and it’s a cult. It’s up to the gang to rescue him. They pose as cult members to get close, but before long they’re in dangerously deep and need rescuing themselves.

Elsewhere, Tommo teams up with a one-time dance arcade champion to bring down a rival club. The kid gave up on his dream long ago, until Tommo inspires him to get his groove back.

Wedding bells are ringing in Hawley, and it’s a nightmare. Cardi’s mum returns after being AWOL for years with a new fiancé in tow. She’s getting married for the fourth time and is demanding Cardi organise it … in 48 hours.

At the same time, a mystery man from Carol’s past shows up and threatens to destroy everything. Carol and Cardi’s marriage is put to the ultimate test – can our golden couple survive this?

Ashley is on a mission to reinstate his reputation as ‘the muscle’ of the group. As he gears up for a fight that could make or break him, a dodgy agent attempts to make things dirtier than they have to be.

Meanwhile, the gang are distracted by Erin’s visit to Hawley and the promise of a big payday. Her new dickhead bosses claim to own a priceless historical relic. Only Erin’s been set up, and the job isn’t exactly what it seems.

JJ and Sugar tie the knot, but celebrations are cut short by some tragic news. The gang now must plan another event, one they never wanted to see happen. But a goat, some middle-aged cheerleaders, and a hell of a lot of weed makes this a classic Brassic finale.

This group of friends know how to bring the joy, even at the saddest moments.

Meanwhile, Davey deals with the McCann problem once and for all.
