Who's who in the Brassic gang?
Brassic season 6 is almost upon us, launching Joe Gilgun, Michelle Keegan, and plenty of other returning faces back onto our screens.
Season 6 once again revolves around Vinnie (Gilgun), and his mates, as the gang embark on numerous wild adventures in the fictional town of Hawley.
A trailer was previously released, teasing plenty of crazy escapades including run-ins with dangerous weapons, a crocodile, a speeding hearse and a life drawing class, whilst an exclusive clip for RadioTimes.com shows the gang meeting Carol and Ash’s auntie and uncle.
