Brassic is back this week for what is set to be an explosive and naturally hilarious fifth season.
It wouldn't be Brassic without a fair share of chaos and, from the looks of the recently released trailer, it's set to deliver that and much more.
Season 4's finale saw Dylan (Damien Molony) bundled into the back of a car by a bunch of thugs, and this season will follow the gang as they strive to find out just what happened to their friend.
The series is led by Joe Gilgun as Vinnie and will see the return of Michelle Keegan as Erin and Dominic West as Vinnie's GP Dr Chris Coxley, among others.
Joining the cast this season is also Call My Agent's Camille Cottin, who will be starring as Fiona Frank.
