They're a huge hit in the UK, and now Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar are getting set to take their act, 'The Kumars at Number 42', across the ocean to the US. 'The Kumars at Number 42,' is a British television talk show. It stars a fictional British Indian family, including Madhuri and Ashwin Kumar, their thirty-something son Sanjeev, and Sushila, Sanjeev's grandmother (normally referred to as Ummi). The family live in Wembley, London, England. The show's central premise is that Sanjeev's parents have supported his dream of being a TV presenter by having a TV studio built on what used to be their back garden. Running jokes include Sanjeev's apparent social ineptitude and Ashwin's obsession with financial matters and tendency to tell long stories with no real point. It is also a regular conceit that the guests' appearance fees are paid in chutney. The show has an improvisational feel, though in reality much of the regular cast's performance is scripted. Producers of the BBC chat show, which ended its seven-series run last year, are in talks with US broadcasters to have the comedy remade in the country. Syal confirmed that she and her hubby were in talks with US broadcasters, but warned that the moved depended on the budget. "There's interest from America and we are in talks. It's early stages and so much depends on the budget.” However, while Syal is cautious, she is also excited at the prospect of being able to interview Hollywood celebs like Sylvester Stallone and Nicole Kidman. "I'd be really interested. Can you imagine, the Kumars interviewing Sylvester Stallone and Nicole Kidman? I think it would be hilarious," she said. Syal, we do too, except Sylvester Stallone is so 1980’s! What has brightened the show's prospects of being aired in America is the fact that repeats of it on BBC America have been a huge hit. If the show does manage its US crossover, then 'The Kumars' will be the latest celebs taking America by storm after Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen. With all of the South Asians residing in the US, we hope that the support and budget allow for a TV series reflecting our reality and our culture.
