The British-Australian sitcom Austin returns for its second series on BBC One at 11.10pm, continuing the story of grumpy children's author Julian (Ben Miller) and his neurodivergent son Austin (Michael Theo). In the new episode, Julian receives the DNA test results and reveals that Austin is not his biological son. The pair then embark on a search for Austin's real father.
Sally Phillips Steals the Show
While the central plot revolves around Julian and Austin's quest, it is Sally Phillips as Julian's fed-up wife Ingrid who really steals the show, according to critic Hollie Richardson. Phillips brings comedic timing and emotional depth to the role, balancing the family's identity crisis with sharp wit.
