TV review: The Other One series 1 episode 1
How well you get on with The Other One will depend on your tolerance for cringe factor.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 12th June 2020TV review: The Other One
Despite all the jokes about class, Marcus's disastrous 'dick pics' disaster and the essential betrayal at the heart of the Walcott's marriage, there's a real sweetness to the developing relationship between the two Catherines which makes this a joy to watch.
Chris Hallam, Chris Hallam's World View, 12th June 2020In September 2017, I wrote that The Other One was a BBC comedy pilot in search of a commission: it gained that commission and returned this week - albeit with the rerun pilot (boo), but over the next six weeks it will delight and enthral with high humour and low blows from writers Holly Walsh and Pippa Brown. The only true mystery is why the fandoodle it took so long.
It is a glorious slice-of-life comedy, way superior to so much else on these days. OK, the plot is a twitch forced - bigamist dies, leaving two disparate families, in two utterly disparate class zones - but the warmth of all within, the sharpness of the writing, the performances, particularly from Ellie White as the smiling uptight coil of a spring who can't quite leave a middle-class totem untouched and Lauren Socha as the unsprung spring who can't quite leave a working-class totem unsaid... in this will lie a certain dramatic magic.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 7th June 2020TV preview: The Other One, BBC One
Whether by luck or judgement the BBC is on a roll at the moment with sitcoms featuring strong female casts.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 3rd June 2020The Other One: funny, rude and piercingly sad
In this comedy of affairs and second wives, we see the family as I like to see it: generous, expansive, richly humane.
Rachel Cooke, The New Statesman, 3rd June 2020TV review: The Windsors, series three, episode six
If it continues along in the vein of the majority of the third series it'll be increasingly disappointing and only fitfully amusing.
