Brassic (slang for "poor") follows a gang of working-class lads in the town of Hawley, near Manchester. Their escapades involve mostly thefts that go wrong, marijuana deals that go wrong, and brawling -- lots of beefy guys sweating in barns. A lot of male nudity, of the butt variety. And, surprisingly, some gay representation.
Here are the top ten hunks:
1. Dylan (Damien Molony. right), who passed up a chance to go to uni to stay with the lads.
2. Tommo (Ryan Sampson, left) runs secret S&M nights for the town's businessmen. Presumably heterosexual S&M, although actor Ryan Sampson is gay. He came out while starring in the comedy Plebs, and introduced the world to his boyfriend on instagram.
3. Vinnie (Joe Gilgun), the leader, grew up in a safe-blowing family. He suffers from bipolar disorder, and has a son with his best friend Dylan's girlfriend.

4. Ash (Aaron Heffernan) grew up in a fighting family of Irish travelers (nomads). He is still a bare-knuckle boxer and the muscle of the gang, and gay (out to his friends, but not to his family). Nothing in the episode synopsis about getting a boyfriend.
5. Cardi (Tom Hanson) got his nickname from "cardiac arrest" due to his weight (although you'd never know it from his nude scene). He appears to be cognitively disabled, and acts as the runner for the gang
