The A Word spin-off is finally here – and we have your first look.
The A Word spin-off Ralph & Katie kicks off on BBC One this week and RadioTimes.com has an exclusive look at the first episode, which sees Ralph providing marital support with style.
For those unfamiliar with The A Word, the family drama introduced us to married couple Ralph (Leon Harrop) and Katie Wilson (Sarah Gordy), both of whom are living with Down's syndrome.
As a result, along with the usual pitfalls any new couple have to dodge, there are some extra considerations needed to ensure a happy lifestyle, with assistant Danny (Dylan Brady) and Ralph's mother Louise (Pooky Quesnel) among those in their support network.
Fortunately, Ralph and Katie have a positive attitude that shines out of the screen, as seen in this clip when Ralph performs a magic trick for his wife in order to boost her mood and confidence ahead of a big opportunity.

The heartwarming moment exemplifies what viewers can expect from this feel-good romantic drama, which is co-written by The A-Word's Peter Bowker and a team of emerging disabled writers chosen in partnership with BBC Writersroom.
