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.
