Synopsis/Details
A British-Asian family led by a father who is always trying to steady his own ship. BURAC is in his 60s, he’s overweight and he hates having to lean on his son – sometimes literally. Set in his ways since decades prior, Burac’s house is literally a mess. His son ADAM lives with him. While they put up with one another, boundaries are constantly crossed. SAIMA, youngest daughter, is scheduled to move back in after finishing her stint at University. And JEMIMA, eldest of the three kids, unexpectedly moves back in after having declared that she will be divorcing her unfaithful husband. The core of each episode would be centered around Burac and what’s happening to him. Without doubt his kids are involved and while they try to do the best for their father, they clash and thus land themselves in varied situations that bloom in comedy.
