"Sitcom with real heart... Cheering portrait of a family brought together through loss" - INews

"Glorious slice-of-life comedy, way superior to so much else on these days" - Observer

This BBC One comedy is about what happens when you discover your recently-deceased father had a secret family living 13 miles away and you now have a brand-new sister with the same name and is only five days younger. Two newly-found half-sisters and their mothers try to make sense of each other in this "sharp, touching comedy" (The Guardian). Both of the twentysomething women have always wanted a sister, but the only thing these two have in common are their name, Catherine Walcott (a smart move by dad if you've got a secret daughter)- Their mothers also couldn't be more opposite. Created and written by Holly Walsh (Motherland, Dead Boss) and Pippa Brown (Psychobitches, Bad Education). Starring Siobhan Finneran (Downton Abbey, Happy Valley), Rebecca Front (The Thick of It, Avenue 5), Ellie White (Inside No 9, The Windsors), Lauren Socha (Misfits, Catastrophe) and Amit Shah (Hospital People, Stag, W1A), as well as multi-episode guest stars Caroline Quentin and Stephen Tompkinson.
