Synopsis
Journey with our couple as they embark on their first year of married life
The last time we saw Ralph and Katie, they’d just had the wedding of the year. So, what happened next? Making a triumphant return to the beauty and splendour of the Lake District, we journey with our couple as they embark on their first year of marriage. Navigating their own way through life, love and independence, Ralph and Katie face many of the challenges faced by all newlyweds… but with the added blessing or complication that they both have Down’s syndrome.
Returning to our screens, Leon Harrop (Brassic, No Offence, The Street) and Sarah Gordy (The Long Call, Strike, Call the Midwife) will take Ralph and Katie on an emotional rollercoaster, supported by some new faces and the odd familiar overbearing parent…
Joining showrunner Peter Bowker are five of the UK’s best emerging d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent writers – Genevieve Barr, Annalisa Dinnella, Amy Trigg, Lizzie
Watson and Tom Wentworth. Jordan Hogg (Screw, Death in Paradise, Ackley Bridge) – a director with cerebral palsy – completes the team to bring this ground-breaking, heart-warming and perception-challenging series to a primetime, mainstream audience.
