New Comedy Series Only Child

Gregor Fisher and Greg McHugh star as father and son, Ken and Richard Pritchard, in new comedy series, Only Child. Featuring domestic and inter-generational differences and neighbourly squabbles, Only Child is told through the lens of Richard and Ken’s comedic relationship.

In this first episode, bit-part actor Richard returns from London to his home to Forres in the Scottish Highlands for a long overdue visit to the recently-widowed Ken. However, he soon realises his dad might be in need of a bit more full-time help. Not that Ken would agree, of course, but that statement is pretty much true about anything.

An eccentric, strong-willed technophobe, Ken is set in his ways, leaving Richard worrying about his dad growing old.

As well as Fisher and McHugh, Only Child showcases a wealth of Scottish and Irish talent including Amy Lennox as Emily, Stuart Bowman as Rod, Clare Barrett as Jen, Robin Laing as Ian and Paul Rattray as Digsy. Jennifer Saunders is the voice of Richard’s acting agent, Sally.

Only Child debuts on the BBC Scotland channel on Thursday 21 November and BBC One on Friday 22 November. All six episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer from Thursday 21 November.

Only Child is a Happy Tramp North production for BBC Scotland and BBC One. Its development was supported by Screen Scotland.
