New
series of The Kumars at No. 42 on BBC Choice
The
hit BBC TWO comedy The Kumars at No. 42 comes to BBC Choice with
the second series premiering on the channel beginning on Sunday
28 April. Two programmes a week will be shown on the channel, every
Sunday and Tuesday at 9.00pm.
The
Kumars are like any other family on the surface, sharing a house
are son Sanjeev (Sanjeev Bhaskar), granny Sushila (Meera Syal),
mum Madhuri (Indira Joshi) and dad Ashwin (Vincent Ebrahim). Sanjeev
doesn’t always find it convenient living with his family, however,
because he is a professional chat-show host who films his weekly
show in a studio attached to the house.
Each
week the guests arrive and have to run the gauntlet of the Kumars,
not only by going through the house to get to the studio but also
by being subjected to interrogation in the studio from mum, dad
and granny. In all the chaos Sanjeev tries to keep order and occasionally
ask the odd question himself.
 Following
on from the success of the first series which attracted ‘A’
list celebrities an equally impressive list is lined up for the
second series. The guests are Ray Winstone, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen,
Melvyn Bragg, Jerry Hall, Richard & Judy, Lorraine Kelly, Barbara
Windsor, Adam Woodyatt, Patsy Palmer, Ismail Merchant, Helena Bonham
Carter, Stephen Fry, Lesley Garrett, Ulrika Jonsson, Antony Worral
Thompson, Charlotte Church, Martin Kemp, Wendy Richard, John Sergeant,
Nigel Havers and Ronan Keating.
The Kumars at No. 42 is produced by Sharat Sardana, Richard Pinto
and Lissa Evans who also directed the show. The executive producers
are Denise O’Donoghue and Jimmy Mulville. It is a Hat Trick
production for the BBC.
The
new series will be shown on BBC TWO at the end of May.
