Brassic is nothing if not unpredictable, but even by its own standards the show has stepped up its game for the season 6 finale, according to one of its stars.

"When I read the end, I was like, 'Whoa, this is really intense for Brassic,'" said Parth Thakerar, who plays JJ. "Like, really intense. I think the end is going to be a big, big shock this year, for everyone."

He went on to say that while the Sky comedy "usually always ends on a cliffhanger", he's completely none the wiser about what could happen in season 7, which was confirmed back in June.

"Even I don't know what's going to happen next season," he added. "It was a big one, a big one that [co-creators] Danny [Brocklehurst] and Joe [Gilgun] and everyone decided to do."

His co-star Joanna Higson, who plays Sugar, echoed those comments.

"It's the first year that you'll finish the series going, 'Oh my God.' Like, it's a genuine, massive question mark.

"You can usually tell when a series is written and setup for the next bit. [You're like], 'Oh, they've written that, oh, that's it.' But this is really like ooo! It makes you think."

And that seismic development doesn't just impact Erin (Michelle Keegan) and Vinnie (Gilgun), "it's about everyone", added Thakerar.

After an epic end to the last season, the gang are back with as much wild adventure and hilarity as ever. Reeling from the explosive encounter with Manolito, they set about 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? Season 6 is a madcap journey involving man-eating crocodiles, bigamists and a naked cult. The MacDonagh’s are creating trouble again, stepping it up a gear as they get high on new-found power. And amongst all this, we’re taken on an emotional rollercoaster with some heartfelt goodbyes and new love interests on the horizon.
