Granny Kumar is back. After a very successful first series Meera Syal鈥檚 glorious comedy creation returns, with her great-granddaughter Maya (Ambreen Razia) and arch-nemesis 鈥渇renemy鈥� Geeta (Harvey Virdi), to chat with the sisters.

"This entertaining anecdote-packed show... creating a party vibe that brings out the best in her female guests." The Observer
"It treads a fine line between the earnest and the rip-roaringly funny... It's the intimacy that makes it" Radio Times

Ummi Kumar gathers together her favourite extraordinary women at Wembley Community Centre, aided by her millennial great-granddaughter Maya and her arch-nemesis 鈥渇renemy鈥� Geeta, leader of the local Asian Ladies Silver Bats community group.

The show is a women-only party, where they share stories, laugh loads and chew the fat/dish the dirt/eat the laddoos鈥� A blend of sitcom, silliness and improvised chat, led by the best kind of interviewers who know how to make anyone talk - two really nosey old Indian women.
