Citizen Khan
Created by Adil Ray
On BBC One
A warm, character-driven family sitcom built on affectionate satire of a tight-knit British-Pakistani community, where the comedy emerges from recognizable domestic friction rather than cruelty.
Family-based sitcom set in the capital of British Pakistan - Sparkhill, Birmingham. Citizen Khan follows the trials and tribulations of loud-mouthed, tight-fisted, self-appointed community leader Mr Khan and his long suffering family, wife Mrs Khan and daughters Shazia and Alia.
