Series 3 (BBC One Daytime), Episode 1 - The Prodigals Return
It is now 1966, three years after Prem and Kamini's arrival, and they have become very much a part of the Trefelin community.
Further details
A shiny American sports car zooms into the sleepy Valleys village of Trefelin, carrying with it Basil and Robert Thomas, sons of the old local mine owner.
The high-achieving brothers are greeted with joy by everyone from Sian the shopkeeper to the miners in the pub. But for others, like the Indian doctor Prem Sharma, his wife Kamini and newlyweds Emlyn and Megan, the brothers' return spells confusion and frustration as their dreams are dashed and they face the prospect of becoming outcasts once again.
