The Other One

Tiger Aspect Productions for BBC One

Cathy’s dad just died. Colin was the most caring, generous and funny man you’d ever meet. But Colin had a massive secret. He had a mistress. Which is weird, because people with ‘Which Magazine’ subscriptions aren’t usually natural risk takers. And not only that, Colin also had another daughter with this woman – born exactly a week after Cathy. To cover his tracks, Colin decided to call both daughters ‘Catherine’, so as to reduce confusion or getting caught. His other ‘family’ – Marilyn and Cat – lived 13 miles away in a neighbouring town and knew him as an unreliable but sporadically wonderful shit.

The Other One is our love story to siblings, mothers and shit dads. It’s a rich, big world which allows you to fall in love with our four leading women as they try to make sense of their new-found sisters and sort-of-step-mums.
