There used to be a series--can't recall name--but it featured
an Indian family who had a famous guest every episode!!
It was very amusing.I suspect the Race Relations People put
a stop to it---Ridiculous!!!

I can see it working in Corrie as they have a very large asian community in Manchester. Vietnamese gangsters could be fun.

The Kumars at Number 40

(I think it was 40)

It lost ratings and hasn't had another series. Why on earth would it have anything to do with Race Relations? Do you even know what that means?

No-one eats fish & chips anymore in Corrie, they all suddenly like kebabs - which are sold by a white scouser - very authentic!!

Yes, although I can't remember his name. He used to work with Rodney in the antiques business and lived with Pearl and her fella.

is Perdy? or do i just not look at her very closely?
What about Paddy's ex who was Danny's cousin and, in fact, Danny's whole family at one point.

And Del's ex-fiance but i'm scraping the barrel now!

Oh yes, you'd think they stick out like a sore thumb. Who knows, one day all the soaps might be brave enough to have a mixed race relationship or two that actually works and the couple live happily ever after!!!
