River City fans might recognise some familiar faces in the David Tennant drama Single Father on Sunday nights. The ex-Time Lord Mr Tennant plays Dave, a photographer who faces the shocking sudden death of his beloved wife. The drama explores the heartache and obstacles which he faces in the difficult task of bringing up four children alone.
Jenni Keenan Green, who played femme fatale Heather Bellshaw, makes an appearance as Dave's ex-wife Michelle. Jenni talks about acting with her real-life toddler son in Single Father in this press article.
14-year-old Natasha Watson has a lead role as Dave's stepdaughter in the show. Sharp-eyed fans may recognise her from River City. She played Heather's vulnerable daughter Freya in the show five years ago. It was an emotionally demanding role as she was reunited with her birth mother and father, Heather and Duncan, so Natasha did quite a lot of weeping. The family left to make a new life in Australia.
Natasha's also appearing in the feature film Donkeys which has just been released. You can watch an interview with Natasha and her Single Father co-star Millie Innes from STV's The Hour.
Single Father is on BBC One Scotland, on Sundays at 2100.
