Episodes
Stairway to Haven
It's the annual Indian restaurant five-a-side football tournament and the Magoons are representing The Spice. Alan the Chef - unpredictable at the best of times - has declared he won't play on a Sunday, so Nitin's gay friend Imran is roped in, much to Paul's dismay.
Seven for Eight, or Eight for Seven
There's confusion in The Spice over the number of diners expected that evening: is it seven people at 8 o'clock or eight at 7 o'clock? Unsurprisingly, Nitin isn't exactly in control of the situation.
The Samosa Triangle
The Magoons are sent by Nitin's dad to collect samosas from a new supplier, Dolly Pathan. She's won dad over with her sweet potato and honey samosas and has encouraged him to sharpen up his corporate marketing tactics and invest in samosas embossed with the name and logo of The Spice.
Around the World in Eaty Ways
Nitin devises a series of themed evenings for The Spice called "Around the World in Eaty Ways": Chinese, Russian and French nights, serving delicacies like Borscht Bhuna.
Devi Does Dallas
Nitin's latest hair-brained scheme to drum up customers for The Spice is to hold a "Kurry Karaoke" night where the choice of dish is linked to a specific karaoke song - a King Prawn Dopiaza buys you Frank Sinatra's My Way and a side order of pilau rice will get you a humble Carpenters song.
A Previous Engagement
The Magoons have been invited to a relative's engagement party, where Nitin's dad has high hopes of setting Nitin up with Priya, a young girl from Suffolk.

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
