The Other One

I only watched the first episode on iPlayer and it was quite funny I’ll watch the rest weekly gives me at least one program worth watching each week. I loved the both the Mums and the wimpy boyfriend, it reminded me a bit of Gavin and Stacy.

I’ve made a note of this, thanks gillybob. When I can get catch up I’ll certainly tune in. It sounds right up my street.

I did me too tanith . I wish I hadn’t binge watched the whole lot now as I have to wait for a second series as there was a huge twist at the end but won’t spoil it.

A really good cast too.

I just know you will love it Urms

We've watched one and really enjoyed it

Looks like a good series - enjoyed the first one.

Yes, I watched the lot in one go. Wish I'd saved some!

Oh good. I'd recorded it so I'll look forward to watching it.

I saw this advertised so will watch it now as I seem to spend most of my viewing time on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Thanks for the recommendation.

Anyone else think that Amit Shah resembles Rishi Sunak ?

We also binge-watched the lot. Very enjoyable. The sister, Kat, was good in Catastrophe, which was hilarious.

Me too! I started with the pilot this morning and have just finished the final episode!
Brilliant!

Glad you all liked it . I’m just waiting for the second series now.

WARNING .......Don’t read on if you haven’t watched it all..........

Surely they can’t leave it hanging like this ? She was snogging her brother wasn’t she?

I watched the pilot on fri night and loved it. I didn’t realise there was a full series available to watch. I thought the next episode I’ve set the box to record next Friday was the first of a new series.

Gillybob I suppose it does open up a whole new storyline?
Loved it and thought the characterisation was excellent!

I watched it the first time round. Even when I know what's coming I'm laughing in anticipation at what's coming ?

This sounded fun, but I can't use the I player of course, as I'm not in the UK, so I went to look if some kind soul had uploaded it to YouTube. All I could find was a series called "The Other One" with a very young Richard Briers and Michael Gambon!

“First time round” MerylStreet ? When was it broadcast?
I was under the impression it was new.

COMEDY sitcom The Other One follows two women called Catherine who discover that they're half-sisters after their dad dies

The BBC One show starts TONIGHT, Friday June 5, at 9pm and viewers will see siblings Cathy and Cat get to know each other with plenty of laughs along the way

I’m confused. I saw a chat about it on tv on fri morning. I watched it that night and really enjoyed it. My Virgin box described that episode as a pilot from a few years ago.

My box is set to record the start of the series on fri this week. So, will that actually be series 2 and there’s a series 1 lurking somewhere I need to catch up on before Friday?

I had a look. It was 2017.

It was just the first "pilot" episode that was shown in 2017 to see if people liked it. The other episodes are new.

Yes I see that now.
I can’t say I remembered it and from the publicity it was being presented very much as a new series!
A bit disingenuous of the BBC!

I also binge watched after seeing it recommended on here-thanks.
I was very surprised by the actress playing Cathy’s Aunt, whose name escapes me.
I recognised the voice but had to wait for the credits to roll to see who it was.
She has gone up a generation, although, haven’t we all?
