Your next box set: Brass

There's hilarious trouble up mill in this lovably daft DH Lawrence pastiche from the 80s.

Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 24th May 2012

It is, however, the sort of passionate cry that people in Brass (Granada) cry passionately. It is a poor Brass actor who does not insist on his quota of passionate cries per page.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 22nd May 1984
