|  |  |  |  | CITIZEN KHANBBC1 hit Citizen Khan returns to our screens for a second series this year.
This modern family sitcom set in a Pakistani Muslim household in Sparkhill, Birmingham, follows the trials and tribulations of self-appointed Muslim community leader Mr Khan (Adil Ray) and his long-suffering family, including his house-proud and much put-upon wife Mrs Khan (Shobu Kapoor) (EastEnders). Maya Sondhi and Bhavna Limbachia play his feisty daughters, Shazia and Alia; and Abdullah Afzal (Lunch Monkeys) portrays Amjad, Shazia's handsome but dim fiancée.
Mr Khan is a larger than life character, with strong opinions and big dreams facing the challenges of many families - how to make ends meet, keep his family happy and impress the neighbours! Things would be so much easier if everyone just listened to him and followed his lead, but his family and friends usually have other ideas...
Created by Adil Ray, Mr Khan has already featured in BBC Two comedy series Bellamy's People and on Radio Four's Down the Line. Mr Khan also hosted his own web series for the BBC Comedy website, in which he covered a variety of topics including the General Election, cricket and even delivered his own Christmas message to the nation.
Citizen Khan is written by Adil Ray, Anil Gupta and Richard Pinto (The Kumars at No 42, Goodness Gracious Me, Fresh Meat).
The show will be taped on Thursdays from 6th June until 18th July 2013 at MediaCity, Manchester and booking is now open so if you would like to join us for a night of comedy, then apply now!  |  |  |  |  |

|  |  |  |  | HOMEBOYSJoin us at Media City Salford for a special recording of Homeboys - a brand new studio sitcom pilot for BBC1 starring Kayvan Novak (Facejacker, Four Lions), Sacha Parkinson (Coronation Street, The Crash), Marc Pickering (Les Misérables, Sleepy Hollow), Theo Barklem-Biggs (Silk, The Inbetweeners Movie) and Charlotte Spencer (Les Misérables, Hotel Babylon). Homeboys is written by hot new writer Pete Jackson, and directed by Michael Lembeck (Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Mad About You).
Homeboys centres around a dysfunctional family living in Manchester – Terry and Eileen are trying to get their lives back by getting their 20something sons to finally leave home. But David and Brian have other plans, despite their parents’ best efforts to get rid of them. David is a cocky damp-proofing salesman who thinks he’s a big shot (but who still loves having his pants washed by his mum), and Brian is an agoraphobic who hasn’t left the house since he was eight and spends a lot of time under the kitchen table. Add Janine, their spiteful younger sister to the mix, and their parents’ dream of a quiet life looks more and more unlikely…although they’d secretly miss all the mayhem their kids cause if they ever did leave home!
The show will record on Sunday 30th June 2013 at MediaCity, Manchester. If you would like to join us for a night of comedy, then apply now!  |  |  |  |  |
