Citizen Khan to screen in Birmingham

Fans of BBC comedy Citizen Khan can apply to watch a preview screening in Birmingham.

Published

Two episodes of the sitcom, set in the city's Sparkhill and written by Adil Ray, will be shown on October 27.

Ray, who plays the lead role, along with and co-stars Bhavna Limbachia, Abdullah Afzal Adlyn Ross and Krupa Pattani will be in town for the red carpet screening at Cineworld in Broad Street.

The show follows the trials and tribulations of larger-than-life self-appointed community leader Mr Khan and his family. The opening episode to be screened at the preview sees the return of comedy legend Peter Bowles (To The Manor Born) return to our screens.

Ray said: "I'm very much looking forward to celebrating the new series of Citizen Khan with the people of Birmingham.

"I owe so much to our great city so it's only right that we share this moment together. Plus Mr Khan needs to shift a few DVDs.

"He's currently flogging VHS copies of Crossroads if anyone's interested?"
