Tandoori Nights - The Complete Series 1 and 2

Saeed Jaffrey (My Beautiful Laundrette) stars in this spicy, groundbreaking Channel 4 comedy about an embattled curry house owner and his wayward family. Jimmy Sharma (Jaffrey) is making a comfortable living running upscale Indian restaurant The Jewel in the Crown until one of his ex-waiters opens rival outlet The Far Pavilions right across the street. The new place may be downmarket, with flock wallpaper and chips on the menu, but Jimmy's takings soon take a hit. Jimmy is both supported and given the runaround by his feisty daughters Asha (Rita Wolf) and Bubbly (Shelley King), who in turn are watched over by a domineering Gran (Zohra Segal) whose dearest wish is of course to marry each of them off to a suitable boy. Created by prolific writer, producer and activist Farrukh Dhondy, and producer and co-founder of Picture Palace Films, Malcolm Craddock, the series addresses provocative issues around sexual and racial equality, and takes a wry look at interracial tensions between London's Indian and Bangladeshi communities, sassy, politicised Asian women, mixed-race relationships and grasping business methods. First broadcast in 1985, and now on DVD for the first time, the series is also notable for featuring two episodes written by a 20-something Meera Syal.
