Brassic

Vinnie and the gang realise there are only two ways to lift the FA Cup - win the final or steal the trophy.

We jump back in time to the cliff-hanger at the end of last season and finally find out what happened that night with Manolito. As the gang attempt to sweep the whole thing under the rug with the aid of Lola the crocodile, Davey MacDonagh makes moves on Manolito's turf, while Erin decides enough is enough, and sets her eyes on Blackpool.

Farmer Jim is forced on a bumpy trip down memory lane when an old flame pops up in Hawley. This remarkable woman once saw something in the old git that hasn't been seen since, can she reignite the spark? Also – JJ is back! With the help of Jim's saucy ex, the gang come up with an elaborate scheme to clear JJ's name and get a confession out of his backstabbing cousin, Sarim. 

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 pay day. 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.

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.
