Further details
Mr Khan embraces Christmas like never before by launching his own range of traditional halal mince pies with the help of a local business dragon.
Shazia and Amjad try to find somewhere else to live, because their landlord is selling their house and they can't afford the deposit to buy it. Naani has a solution - she's going to give them the money for the deposit. Her only mistake is entrusting it to Mr Khan, who promptly loses it.
To retrieve it, he heads to the Community Centre's Winter Wonderland, where Dave's putting on a show about a talking snowman that may or may not be able to fly. Mr Khan finds himself re-creating an iconic festive scene.
The story ends with a tearjerker as Mr Khan suffers a very personal loss.

Mr Khan does a Dragon's Den
Mr Khan meets a business dragon to pitch his new idea - halal mince pies.
Featuring: Adil Ray (Mr Khan) & Gary Pillai (Mr Ghopal).
Press
Somewhat distanced from the Christmas schedules proper, a special sprinkled with winterval wonder from Sparkhill's social shepherd. Mr K embraces the festive frivolities wholeheartedly, which might just have something to do with his new venture selling "traditional" halal mince pies. Shazia and Amjad are on the verge of seeking a stable to sleep in after their landlord announces the sale of their rented home. An angel in the form of Naani offers them the deposit, only for the cash to land in the lap of a decidedly unwise Khan.
