		Sanjeev Bhaskar has turned a universal experience into one of the freshest comedies in years.
		Every week guests are welcomed by a young wannabe interviewer named Sanjeev into what appears to be a typical, suburban Indo-British household, where they are introduced to Sanjeev's blunt-as-an-anvil father, his sweet, doting mother and his oversexed, hyperactive, Net-savvy grandmother.
		Happily for Bhaskar and friends, their guests are quick to share the limelight and British audiences have responded so warmly to The Kumars' wonderfully inclusive "minority" humour (Bhaskar's term), that a second series of 10 episodes is nearing completion.
