I've not noticed to be honest. I would hardly describe using one stereotype as "two much". I think the Masood's are no where near a good representation of a British-Asian family.

The fact Masood holds 3 jobs now is pretty much a stereotype!

I think a stereotypical Muslim couple would have had a very strict father and a submissive mother - both very traditional and religious. Whereas the Masood's are practically the opposite of that with a very laid back easy going father and a very opinionated mother, I think they're very unconventional in that sense.

Fathers like Masood do exist and I think its realistic considering he's British.

Nope because this doesn't happen. We've seen them have fish and chips from the chipshop before.

When there's been breakfast they've eaten cornflakes and Toast.
