Mr Khan makes an exhibition of himself in front of a packed house at Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Having been made to sleep in the car by Mrs Khan after forgetting their wedding anniversary, Mr Khan is on a mission to make amends. But his boast to Dave that he knows local boy Moeen Ali backfires when Amjad suggests he could get the famous England all-rounder to make a celebrity appearance at a fundraiser.
2 Bullies
11/11/16
Season-only
Mr Khan has bought a drone camera to keep an eye on the local neighbourhood as he believes it is starting to go a bit downhill. This is brought home when he finds out that his grandson, Mo, is being bullied at his nursery. But when Mr Khan decides to teach Amjad how to be a better dad, he gets a lot more than he bargained for, both during a trip to the local pool and when re-enacting a scene from Birmingham gangster drama Peaky Blinders.
3 Funeral
11/25/16
Season-only
Tragedy strikes the Khan household, as Amjad's bewigged father, Mr Malik, is knocked down and killed by the number 37 bus. The real tragedy for Mr Khan is that the grief-stricken Mrs Malik is staying with them and comfort eating him out of house and home.
4 Scab's Parents
12/2/16
Season-only
Mr Khan has been spending time with Alia's 'friend who is a boy', Scab. They are getting on famously and, after a chat with Alia, Mr Khan suspects it won't be long before there is another Khan family wedding on the horizon. But then Scab takes fright at the idea of the Khans meeting his parents. The Khans think it is because they are a bit snooty and object to having a Pakistani daughter-in-law. So Mr Khan and Amjad go to confront Scab's father (played by Harry Enfield).
5 Alia's University
12/8/16
Season-only
Mr Khan has to drop his daughter Alia off for her first day at university - in Scotland. Mrs Khan wants the whole family to come, so Mr Khan has to find a way to get the whole lot of them from Sparkhill to Glasgow. When the car breaks down, he is forced to improvise alternative travel arrangements, which gives them all plenty of time to reminisce about Alia's early years.
6 Mr Khan's Niece
12/16/16
Season-only
Mr Khan and Mosque manager Dave organise rival Muslim Days at the community centre. Mr Khan is convinced his fun day with a bouncy Mosque and 'pin the beard on the Imam' stall will be far more popular than Dave's Women in Islam event. But he forgets that he'd agreed to look after his wayward niece Shabana. Mr Khan is forced to take the stroppy teenager to Muslim Day with him and, to top it all off, Dave has managed to invite Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, whom Khan is desperate to impress.
7 It's a Khanderful Life
12/22/16
Season-only
In a very special festive episode, Mr. Khan tips his hat to Frank Capra's Christmas classic It's A Wonderful Life, with Sparkhill taking the place of Bedford Falls, and Mr. Khan, like George Bailey, facing up to the fact that his life hasn't turned out the way he planned it. But an encounter with a mysterious heavenly passer-by shows him how things might have been different and convinces him that, despite all its frustrations, his has a 'Khanderful Life' after all.

It's very poorly written and the actors are equally bad. It's just over exaggerated unoriginal stereotypes. I don't like this kind of show where they make it too obvious when you should laugh. It's a shame because it had potential. Love the idea, hate the execution.

Absolutely fantastic.... Good to see a Muslim actor being light hearted about faith and religion instead of being so uptight about Islam. I think more and more Muslims need to have the same approach.. Christians did when the Vicar of Dibley was on the television so I think Muslims should feel the same as its simply harmless banter.

This show is ok, its not as funny as it could be though. The show is basically a parody of any none white immigrant family living in the UK for several decades, kinda reminds me of Desmond's. People complain but its not even as disrespectful as Father Ted.
