However, the vibes are distinctly darker as Vinnie (Gilgun) and the crew barricade themselves in a bar with criminal figure Davey MacDonagh for a final 50th installment apparently inspired by Quentin Tarantino.

The Iris Affair
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Those with a phobia of creepy crawlies will want to fast-forward as the sixth episode starts, before a tense standoff, reminiscent of a Mexican or Sardinian scenario ensues, when Cameron forces Iris to exchange her journal for the hostaged Joy – else she’ll be “riddled with bullets” from the threatening drone controlled by Meski … What escape plan can they devise?
