The Kumars at No. 42 e Talk Show

About the show

Show Time : Sundays, 10:30 PM

Meet the newest Asian Family in showbiz!

Meet the Kumars. They live at No 42 in Wembley. They’ve bulldozed their back garden so they can build a studio on the back of their house and indulge their spoilt son, Sanjeev (Sanjeev Bhaskar), who fancies himself as a celebrity chat show host.

The Kumars are like any other family on the surface. Dad, Ashwin, is keen to get down to business - literally; Mum, Madhuri, just wants what every Asian mother wants - a wedding; and Granny Sushila, well, she’s growing old disgracefully and is fast gaining a reputation as the coolest Ummi in Wembley!

Sanjeev doesn’t always find it convenient living with his family, however, because he is a professional chat-show host who films his weekly show in a studio attached to the house, he doesn’t have much of a choice.

Each week the guests arrive and have to run the gauntlet of the Kumars, not only by walking through the house to get to the studio but also being subjected to interrogation in the studio from mum, dad and granny. In all the chaos, Sanjeev tries to keep order and occasionally ask the odd question himself.

Angel e Sci-Fi

About The Show

Show Time : Thursdays, 10:00 PM

Angel: A vampire with a twist!

He looks familiar doesn’t he? Where have you seen him before? Those aren’t looks you’d forget easily. That strong jaw, those soulful eyes, that incredible physique… where have you seen him?

And her? She looks… the same. As incredibly gorgeous, as devastatingly attractive; those endless legs and perfect smile are definitely registered somewhere…

Aaaahhh. Got it.

He’s Angel. Buffy Summers’ a-long-time-ago love interest in Buffy, The Vampire Slayer. He’s that centuries-old vampire cursed with a conscience, and he’s left the small California town of Sunnydale and the only woman he ever loved to take up residence in Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

She’s Cordelia Chase. She’s the girl everyone loved to hate. Why? Because she was perfect. She had the friends, the clothes, the car… you name it, and she had it. Only there’s a difference now. The spoilt-little-rich-kid has been replaced by a maturing, struggling actress, who will do anything to support her passion, even work for a vampire with a mission.

Together, Angel and Cordy look to save a few lost souls from the pervasive evil and endless temptations that lurk beneath the city’s glittery façade.

Along the way, Angel has collected a motley bunch of friends and foes. An ex-watcher and rogue demon-hunter, Wesley, a street-wise vigilante, Gunn and a student physicist Winifred ‘Fred’, whom Angel saved from Pylea form the core team of Angel Investigations.
