Sky has recommissioned Brassic and Rob And Romesh Vs for sixth series, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal.

With its fifth series set to air shortly on Sky Max, Brassic's re-order makes it the broadcaster's longest-running scripted comedy since Trollied ended after seven series in 2018.

Co-created by Joe Gilgun and Danny Brocklehurst, Brassic follows the lives of Vinnie O'Neill and his friends in the fictional northern town of Hawley, scraping a living while committing various petty crimes.

With Gilgun playing O'Neill, the show also stars Michelle Keegan, Dominic West, Damien Molony, Tom Hanson, Aaron Heffernan, Ryan Sampson, Parth Thakerar, Bronagh Gallagher, Joanna Higson and Steve Evets.

The fifth series was written by Brocklehurst with Alex Ganley and Danielle Ward and features Lee Mack in a guest role. Production on Series 6, once again made by Calamity Films, begins this summer.

Meanwhile, Rob And Romesh Vs has secured a sixth run before the fifth series has even aired, with Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett visiting South Korea last week for an episode in which they experienced K-Pop.

The pair subsequently went to see the K-Pop group NCT Dream at Wembley in London for the show, which is made by CPL Productions.

Episodes in the imminent fifth series include Ranganathan and Beckett jetting off to Las Vegas to learn tricks from magicians Penn & Teller; joining the London Philharmonic Orchestra at their Royal Festival Hall residency; heading to India to experience the world of Bollywood, training in dance and fight scenes before testing at a casting audition for a real movie; and competing against each other in the famous dog show Crufts.

The pair will also be jointly presenting the BAFTA Television Awards for the first time on Sunday 14th May.
