Brass is a British comedy-drama series created by John Stevenson and Julian Roach, and produced by Granada Television for ITV and Channel 4. The series satirizes the working-class period dramas of the 1970s and American supersoaps. It is distinct among ITV comedies of the time due to its lack of a laugh track and its use of dry, subtle humor. The series employs convoluted wordplay and commentary on popular culture. Set in a fictional Lancashire mining town, the series primarily focuses on two families, with the Hardacres being wealthy and the other family being poor and working-class.
