The Imam at the mosque calls a special fast and Mr Khan uses it to compete with Dave, the mosque manager. He's suffering badly, and the old double whammy of low blood-sugar and a dodgy bladder means he's a ticking time-bomb.

Alia has a foreign exchange student staying, and Shazia meanwhile has announced she's been offered a great job opportunity in India, which will mean more money and the chance to put down a deposit on a new flat. However, being away for 12 months will put her engagement to Amjad in jeopardy. Mrs Khan decides the only way to save their relationship is to pay the flat deposit for them, and she sends Mr Khan to the building society to secure the all-important loan.

Khan arrives for his meeting with the building society manager starving hungry and gasping with thirst, not perhaps the perfect conditions to persuade him to give him a loan.

Notes

This episode was dedicated to the memory of "our dear friend" Felix Dexter, 1961 - 2013, who died hours before the broadcast of the previous episode.
