THE OTHER ONE
BBC1, 9pm/BBC1 Wales, 9.30pm
IT’S the night before the wedding and Cathy and Marcus have their
‘pre-nup drink-up’ – but it’s not as fun as it sounds.
Cathy (Ellie White) is obsessed by the scuff on the wall that Marcus (Amit Shah) made when he was trying to throw her the car keys. She needs him to run to the DIY store mid-party if she’s ever going to relax.
Elsewhere, there’s a brilliant exchange between Marcus’s mum Mishti, played by Shobu Kapoor, who really doesn’t want to be there and wonders who Marilyn is.
Marilyn (Siobhan Finneran) sheds some light: “I made love to Cathy’s father for three glorious decades.” The pair bond over booze in the ladies’ loos.
Watch out also for Caroline Quentin as Tess’s annoying sister Dawn.
Cat (Lauren Socha) affectionately threatens Marcus that he had better treat her sister well.
And there’s a run-in with Cat’s old school bully and a paint job that gets out of hand.
