The creators Joseph Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst are concluding on their comedy series about a close-knit group of likable chancers causing chaos in a rural Lancashire town. One could anticipate the finale to be a nostalgic highlight reel of alcohol, substances, and playful theft.

The Series The Iris Affair

Anyone afraid of insects will want to fast-forward as the sixth episode starts, before something of a Mexican (or rather Sardinian) standoff occurs, when Cameron forces Iris to exchange her journal for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “shot repeatedly” from Meski’s menacing drone … What escape plan can they devise?
