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.

TV 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.
