It is set in Northern Ireland during World War II. The series follows the fortunes of the Coyne family and their neighbors as they struggle to maintain a normal life after a huge United States Army Air Force airfield sets up in the middle of their rural parish.<\/p>\n<p>The cast also features Owen McDonnell (<em>Single-Handed<\/em>), Aaron Staton (<em>Mad Men<\/em>) and Eileen O\u2019Higgins (<em>Brooklyn<\/em>). <em>My Mother and Other Strangers<\/em> is the first drama commission to be announced since the publication of the BBC and Northern Ireland Screen Partnership Agreement in March 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Wright, the head of drama for BBC Northern Ireland, said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted that Hattie Morahan will be leading our brilliant cast as Rose Coyne. Barry Devlin\u2019s scripts are formed by his love of life with all its complexities, and a love for the place and people where he grew up. The scripts are in safe hands with the cast and our producer Grainne Marmion. Adrian Shergold will do a brilliant job bringing this unique time and world to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Devlin added: \u201cI\u2019m really excited about the casting. I wrote the series around Hattie Morahan because she somehow manages to combine a magical serenity with a capacity to be daft as a brush: and Rose, our heroine, combines those two qualities in spades. Watching Hattie work that magic on screen is a true pleasure. Owen McDonnell, Eileen O\u2019Higgins, Aaron Staton lead a cast who excite me more every time I see them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Filming has begun in Northern Ireland on BBC One\u2019s new drama series My Mother and Other Strangers, which stars Hattie Morahan (The Outcast, Beauty and the Beast).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[201,437,438],"class_list":["post-5643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-one","tag-hattie-morahan","tag-my-mother-and-other-strangers","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
