Extremely British Muslims - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
All the Single Muslims
This episode meets young men and women who are looking for spouses, while balancing their 21st-century lives with the expectations of an older generation. The programme also explores divorce.
Boys to Men
This episode is about young British Muslim men trying to find their way in the shadow of the news headlines. It centres around the stories of fish-finger-sandwich-loving Waz and Nav, two young men accustomed to stereotyping because of their beards. A few years ago they were both living lives on the wrong side of the law but they chose to re-embrace their Islamic faith and turn their lives around.
The Rules
This episode follows some of Birmingham's Muslims trying to live their lives by them. White 'revert' Abdul was called Shaun before he converted to Islam six years ago. After marrying a Muslim woman from Pakistan, he's now a stepdad to a daughter and two teenage sons. Abdul has found comfort and discipline in following the rules but he struggles to get the boys - who are used to a more relaxed interpretation of Islam - to do the same. There's so much demand from people wanting to check the rules correctly that the imams at the mosque run a daily telephone helpline.

Leanne's life takes an unexpected turn when her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. Starting over when you're a grandmother and in menopause isn't exactly what she had in mind, but with the help of her family she will navigate this new chapter with grace, dignity and jello salad.
Buried in the Backyard
Buried in the Backyard examines true-crime stories of victims found buried in the most unsuspecting of places. While most people enjoy their backyard as a safe haven, others are not so lucky when they discover the horrors lurking beneath well-trimmed hedges and manicured fences. Uncovering the remains is only the beginning, however, as each hour-long episode follows a unique police investigation to identify the body, determine a cause of death and find the person responsible. Captivating recreations, along with first-hand accounts from those closest to the victims and law enforcement agents involved in the case, bring each shocking tale to life. As investigators dig into the "how" and "why" surrounding each crime, viewers are taken on an unpredictable journey and reminded that this could happen to anyone - in any home, in any neighborhood.
Good Omens
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...
