What is this episode about
Suk Pannu (The Kumars at No. 42) adapts his popular BBC Radio 4 series into a new four-part mystery series starring Meera Syal.
Affluent Berkshire is home to Mrs. Sidhu (Syal), a high-end caterer with a penchant for criminal activity. She runs a successful catering business as a widow while also dishing out justice to those who think they are above the law, including her wayward son Tez (Gurjeet Singh, Ackley Bridge).
As a result of her amateur sleuthing, she forms an unofficial partnership with the long-suffering divorcee DCI Burton (Craig Parkinson, Line of Duty), who comes to realise that the two of them are an unbeatable crime-fighting duo, much to the bafflement of Burton’s partner, DS Mint (Naana Agyei-Ampadu, Industry).
When two bodies are discovered in the spa at high-end health club Sharpetone on Mrs. Sidhu’s first day of catering, the first episode, “Ripped,” takes a surprising turn. Mrs. Sidhu has a knack for figuring out whodunits, but she avoids getting involved whenever possible. When Mrs. Sidhu learns that the police are looking at her niece, Rani, as their prime suspect, she sets out to disprove their assumptions. Inspector Burton, the lead detective on the case, has no patience for her speculations and ends up at odds with her. As she digs deeper, she finds out about office feuds, secret romances, and other previously unknown business secrets.
