Sitcom showcasing the clashes between the residents in a North London 'guest house' - although that phrase might make it sound a little nicer than it is.
Navid is a self-styled Iranian entrepreneur who is down on his luck trying to make a decent living running several businesses at once. When Johnny arrives in Britain from Nigeria, landlady Mrs Ledley, played by Lisa Maxwell, gives him the biggest room in the house.
Navid is furious but in an effort to win favour with Mrs Ledley, with whom he's in love, he offers to take her ailing Mum on a trip round London she'll never forget.
This project was made but it has never been released publicly in any form.
