Brassic

Co-created by This Is England’s Joe Gilgun and Bafta-winning writer Danny Brocklehurst, the drama is about “a group of working-class friends finding unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia” and has a “distinct northern flavour.”

Vinnie (Joe Gilgun) is a Lancashire lad with bipolar disorder. He and his “razor-smart” best friend Dylan (Damien Molony) have hardly spent a day apart since birth, and have spent their whole lives living in this one place.

But Dylan’s girlfriend Erin (Michelle Keegan) is a young mum with a plan, and is determined to leave town and make a good life for herself and her kid Tyler.
