Clive Russell stars in Only Child season 2

Gregor Fisher and Greg McHugh are to return in Only Child, the touching and funny BBC One and iPlayer sitcom following the exploits of squabbling father and son duo, Ken and Richard Pritchard.

Commissioned by BBC Comedy and BBC Scotland from Happy Tramp North, Only Child will see Fisher and McHugh return to Forres for six more episodes.

The first series which was loved by viewers and celebrated by critics alike, followed bit-part actor Richard’s long overdue visit to his eccentric, strong-willed technophobe dad, Ken, who is recently widowed. Richard comes to the realisation that his dad may need a bit more full-time help.

Domestic and inter-generational differences and neighbourly squabbles were all told through the lens of Richard and Ken’s comedic relationship with son Richard’s patience often tested to its limits as the father-son bonding evolved.

Written once again by Bryce Hart, the second series will see the chaotic Pritchard clan return for more adventures as Richard and Ken bicker through everything from driving lessons and explaining what a QR code is to buying your own coffin.

Only Child S2 will begin on BBC1 on Wednesday 6th May
