Star Meera Syal spoke about the return of popular comedy favorite The Kumars, while walking the Red Carpet at the BFI Southbank for the gala screening of her new film All In Good Time.

The Kumars at No.42 ran for seven series, winning two international Emmy Awards. Since then there’s been a variety of failed efforts to revive the show internationally. Now Hat Trick Productions and the original cast are bringing the show back for a brand new series airing on Sky1 this autumn.

The revived show under new title The Kumars at Number 42B will find the Kumar family down on their luck, having moved form their Wembley mansion into a small flat about their Hounslow gift shop. Meera explains that the new format has been in development for a long time and should reflect life in Britain in the aftermath of the recession.
