THE KUMARS RETURN TO OUR SCREENS

After a six-year absence one of television’s best-loved families, The Kumars, are returning to our screens with United’s Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar writing and starring tonight at 21:00 on Sky 1 HD.

After being hit hard during the economic downturn, The Kumars are now living in a flat in Hounslow behind the shop that Dad, Ashwin, now runs. Host Sanjeev is divorced from his wife of nearly two years and Ashwin has secured a sponsorship deal that has enabled him to resurrect the family's talk show, which takes place in the living room of their flat. And Grandma Ummi is glad to be back in her natural environment - with celebrities.

Each week, the show features three celebrity guests who become embroiled in the family's domestic squabbles. The first episode features Daniel Radcliffe, Chevy Chase and Olivia Colman with guests across the rest of the series including Ray Winstone, Rupert Everett, Emilia Fox, Richard E Grant, Harry Shearer, James Corden, Terry Gilliam and Twiggy.
