Review of The Other One

I wanted to like this series after a promising start of sorts with the pilot but on to part 2 one or two of the characters have become irritating likely you can guess which, simply overpowering the plot such as it is. Comedy, even of the ilk of FT, skirt the precipice of cringeworthiness and this is an example of going over that line. Ellie White replays her role in The Windsors (a consistently excellent series) while her oppo the ghastly Kat and her mother (I am usually a fan of Finneran) are like rogue elephants whenever they are let loose. Finally, quite what the people responsible for the casting had on their mind for one character in particular baffles me given uptight Aunty Beeb. If subtlety is your game forget this erratic, ought-to-be-better "comedy" - it aint Friday Night Dinner for sure!
