Episodes are: 'Pilot', 'Teknobable', 'Home Comforts', 'Good Sellers', 'Boy to Man', 'Dating Season', 'My Mate Mumbai' and 'All that Glitters Is Not Glass'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e AMAZON REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e Fed up with the call centre culture? Increasingly agitated that more and more companies are outsourcing the handling of your telephone complaints to India? Then Mumbai Calling could be just the antidote you’re looking for, ITV’s hit sitcom that aims to poke fun at the culture of globalisation. It stars Sanjeev Bhaskar as Kenny, an Indian man sent to Mumbai to set up one of the aforementioned call centres. Joining him for the journey, with a case of by-the-numbers gender confusion thrown in, is Terri Johnson, who turns out to be female rather than male, played by Daisy Beaumont. The pair, to an extent, go through the usual sitcom routine, but don’t write Mumbai Calling off so easily. It has a big factor in its favour. And that’s that it’s often quite funny. Mumbai Calling is at its finest with some of the marvellous telephone conversations we get to hear one half of, which in turn throw the limelight on the supporting players. It’s they who mine the most humour from the situation, and credit should also be given for luring the peerless Richard E Grant in for a cameo. He’s on fun form as ever. Mumbai Calling has its fair share of problems, and a tighter script would surely work wonders. But there’s promise and potential here, and some decent chuckles too. For the first series of a British mainstream sitcom, that shouldn’t be overlooked. A second series could happily iron some of the creases out. --Jon Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56446203298166,"sku":"5035822023215","price":7.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_340492_107158_jpg.jpg?v=1767972997","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5035822023215-mumbai-calling-season-one","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
