The Other One - The Complete First Series

Ralph Tanner, is a compulsive liar, he uses any means, no matter how embarrassing, to portray himself as a worldly, "been there, seen it, done it all" chap, whereas, in reality, he is an inexperienced incompetent. Nevertheless, his brash front is enough to impress the gullible, timid Brian whom he meets in an airport, awaiting the same flight to Spain where they hope to pursue amorous conquests. Inevitably, they fail.

Stars Richard Briers (The Good Life) and Michael Gambon.

First released: Monday 27th August 2007
