Apologies for the radio updates but BBC Radio Cleveland are currently debating the show again in a phone-in. An old Asian guy was just on and I had to transcribe what was said for you (or the gist of) while it's still fresh in my mind.
DJ:
Mohammed, you're on the air. What did you think of Citizen Khan?
MOHAMMED:
Well I didn't like it. I mean I only saw it once but I won't be watching it again. You must stay away from religion, it's not nice to have religion in comedy.
DJ:
Okay, so what was it specifically about the show that offended you, religion-wise?
MOHAMMED:
Well. Religion is not something you should bring into a comedy show.
DJ:
Yes but what part of the show offended you?
MOHAMMMED:
(GETTING A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE) Well I'm not going to go into the ins and outs of it here, I don't have time, but I just didn't like it, that's all.
DJ:
(LONG PAUSE) Right...
MOHAMMED:
You know, there was a show years ago that was very good, I'm a senior citizen so you'll probably be too young to remember it. It was called Mind Your Language, that was a great show, very funny!
