Comedy Central Asia is bringing viewers one of British television’s most loved families, The Kumars at No. 42. The complete seven seasons of the show will debut exclusively on the network over seven weeks with new episodes on weekdays starting from Thursday, 11 December at 7pm (TH/WIB), 8pm (SG/HK//PH/TW) and 9pm (MY). Thereafter, the cast reunites after a seven-year hiatus for the brand new season re-titled The Kumars, which premieres on Friday, 23 January 2015 at 7pm (TH/WIB), 8pm (SG/HK//PH/TW) and 9pm (MY).
Winner of two International Emmy awards, the Rose d’Or Bronze Rose (Best Comedy) and the British Comedy Award, the hybrid sitcom-chat show follows the trials and tribulations of a dysfunctional suburban immigrant family – Madhuri and Ashwin Kumar, Sanjeev (their 30 something son), and Sushila (the family’s irrepressible matriarch). Based on a fictional British family, the Kumars support Sanjeev’s dream of making it big as a TV presenter going as far as to set up a TV studio in their home garden.
With celebrity guests’ appearances fees paid out in “chutney”, the comedy series features appearances by Helena Bonham Carter, Charlotte Church, Ronan Keating, Jimi Mistry, Boy George and more.
