Granny Kumar is back! Meera Syal鈥檚 glorious comedy creation returns, with her great granddaughter Maya (Ambreen Razia) and arch nemesis 鈥渇renemy鈥� Geeta (Harvey Virdi) to chat with the sisters.

Left alone while her family are stuck in quarantine on a world cruise, Granny Kumar decides to host her own series, born out of frustration at seeing or hearing the same old parade of guests on chat shows (mainly male, pale and stale).

She wonders why no one interviews any of the sisters and asks them about their extraordinary, complex and uplifting stories.

So, Gossip and Goddesses is born 鈥� Ummi Kumar gathers together her favourite inspirational women at Wembley Community Centre, aided by her millennial great granddaughter Maya and her arch nemesis 鈥渇renemy鈥� Geeta, leader of the local Asian Ladies Silver Bats community group.

The show is a women-only party, where they share stories, laugh loads and chew the fat/dish the dirt/eat the biscuits鈥�

A blend of sitcom, silliness and improvised chat, led by the best kind of interviewers who know how to make anyone talk - two really nosy old Indian women.

Guests:
Multi-award winning journalist Samira Ahmed and BAFTA winning actress Thandie Newton.

Ummi Kumar 鈥� Meera Syal
