BBC’s Only Child with Gregor Fisher features Forres in six-part series

A new six-part series on the BBC will feature Forres when it airs on 21 November.

Well-known Scottish actor Gregor Fisher stars alongside Greg McHugh (Gary Tank Commander) and others, with some scenes filmed in Forres.

Fisher and McHugh play father and son, Ken and Richard Pritchard, in the new comedy series.

Bit-part actor Richard’s long overdue visit to recently widowed Ken makes him realise his dad may need 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.

Written by Bryce Hart, Only Child features domestic and inter-generational differences and neighbourly squabbles, all told through the lens of Richard and Ken’s comedic relationship.

As well as Fisher and McHugh, Only Child showcases a wealth of Scottish and Irish talent including Amy Lennox (Holby City, Shetland), Stuart Bowman (Rebus, Guilt, Gary Tank Commander), Forbes Masson (The Crown, EastEnders), Clare Barrett (Fair City, Sisters), Robin Laing (Guilt, The Gold) and Paul Rattray (Jamestown, Game of Thrones).

A new collaboration from BBC Comedy and BBC Scotland, Only Child is made by Happy Tramp North and was commissioned by Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning at BBC Scotland and Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy.
