Director, Actor, Writer and Comedian Asim Chaudhry joins Andi and Miquita for lunch - and it’s a joyful, hilarious, sun-soaked, and perfect end to the series. 

Andi has concocted a slow cooked lamb belly with flageolet beans cooked in rum punch , a pickled fig and apple salad, with a butterbean and white corn puree. Miquita’s drink is a sensational lager, gin, and grapefruit cocktail. Asim talks about growing up in Hounslow, his passion for life behind the camera, and making ends meet before the phenomenal success of “People Just Do Nothing”. We also learn that the inspiration for Chabuddy G was found very close to home, the importance of family, his Grandmother’s special ‘Haleem’ dish, his 90s hip hop influenced Celebrity Mastermind subject, and why freestyling as an MC is actually rubbish.

What's it like being mothered by Andi? What's it like having Miquita as a daughter?

Get ready for a very special, very personal episode ahead of Mother's Day, where Andi and Miquita sit down, mother to daughter, for a very personal lunch.

On the menu is one of Miquita's favourite childhood dishes. Also on the menu is plenty of conversation about their early life in West London, the extended family that helped raise Miquita, finding a connection with Miquita's 'other' family, tales of boyfriends, good and bad, the pleasure and pride they have working with each other, and tales of spectacular fallouts. There is also some lovely insight into the woman Andi was before she was Miquita's mother.

Mostly though, the episode is about pride, respect, and most of all love. With plenty of laughter along the way.
