THE OTHER ONE

BBC1, 9.30pm

The double act between Rebecca

Front and Siobhan Finneran, pictured, as the former wife and mistress of a dead man is a joy to watch in this sitcom.

Tess (Front) is heading into financial difficulties without her dead husband’s pension pay out.

So she takes up a job as a receptionist for Cathy’s ex Marcus, but spends the whole time on hold to the pension company while Marilyn (Finneran) vapes next to her.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, Cathy (Ellie White) accompanies Cat (Lauren Socha) to her maths GCSE evening class and is delighted to find that the teacher, Eamon Hammond (David Menkin), is a hotty. “Two plus two equals phwoar!” she says.
