Plot

Baby Mohammad has had a few unsettled nights and Shazia and Amjad find coping with sleep-deprivation difficult. Mrs. Khan thinks they need to spend quality time together and deputizes Mr. Khan to book them a romantic getaway weekend. Mr. Khan is trying to win a Pride of Birmingham award (Alia misinterprets this as him going on a Birmingham Pride march), which leads to an altercation with a parking attendant at the supermarket. The dispute escalates and Khan finds himself staging a protest against parking fines from inside his car after the attendant tries to have it towed. The police are called--in the form of community-support officer Amjad--and Khan is able to solve Amjad's problems and his own in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, Alia has managed to get herself and Baby Mohammad on a TV show--much to the family's embarrassment.—BBC

Mr. Khan is desperate to gain a Pride of Birmingham award as a good citizen but instead finds himself in his car on a tow-truck after parking in a Mother and Baby space at the local supermarket. He sees this as his opportunity to be a man of the people, standing against petty bureaucracy, but gives up the chance by allowing Amjad to arrest him and thus become a proper policeman. Further humiliation awaits back home as the family sees Alia on a TV chat-show--claiming to be a single mother.—don @ minifie-1
