Is there likely to be a change of actress for the daughter, as the current one has just got a role on Corrie, I gather?

Its some of the gags/messes that remind me of Por.ridge and other mainly 70's sitcoms where people get themselves mainly into self inflicted situations.



I have seen a fair bit of Terry and June and while he did seem to get himself into some self inflicted messes, I don't think it was anywhere near as bad as what Khan and Frank Spencer, Del Boy did. Tery seemed to have more general bad luck than self inflicted messes.
Wasnt there a Indian p take of Terry & June ISTR?

Which daughter has got the role in Corrie. Krupa Pattani who was the recast Shazia or Bhavna Limbachia who played the gorgeous Alia?

It's Bhavna. We already saw an actress change for Shazia which I think they just about got away with, but Bhavna will be harder to replace IMO (if they have to).

I've continued to watch this series since series 2.

Quality wise, I think it's limping along, unfortunately. I do think there are occasional funny moments but I expect more. I do believe Adil Ray is a good comedian and comedy writer but this isn't his finest work IMO.

I can see why BBC 1 have kept it around though. It's within their remit to create shows that appeal to different audiences and Citizen Khan no doubt brings in a certain audience profile for them that they don't get with other programmes.

Some not-very-subtle plot shifting to replace the hot daughter with the hot niece for the new series.

Am I complaining ? She's even more gorgelicsious.

Alia got a brief appearance as she was bringing her washing home.

I don't know about remit but I'm pretty sure it's limped along so far into season 5(?) is because it sells well in overseas markets like India and Canada

For a start this was episode 6 of the series and Alia has been in each episode so far (even though this one was a smaller appearance), so hardly being replaced.

Secondly I don't think the niece is as hot as Alia.

You know what this means ?

I'll have to start watching Corrie again.

Does octogenarian Rita still run The Kabin ?

This was the weakest series yet. Dave and Riaz should have greater role. They added changes such as Shazia having children's but they've done nothing with it.

The episode a couple of weeks ago was poor, it was basically just a clip show of previous series!
