But, while becoming British via a passport had been relatively easy, becoming English was something to be studied - and then passed on, first to his wife, newly arrived from Pakistan, and then to his children.<br /> <br /> No more speaking Urdu, no more long plaits, no shalwar kameezes, and - even though they were Muslim - no more religion. Mr Hai put his family firmly on the road to assimilation, and his first-born daughter Yasmin was his star pupil. However, being second-generation British Asian was not quite so simple - especially as their Muslim community was about to go through some very profound changes and challenges...<br /> <br /> Brilliantly told, with intelligence and humour and passion, this is a fascinating story about immigration and identity, about religion and roots, and about a daughter's understanding of her father.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Five episodes of 15 minutes</span><!--bold--> each.<br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode 1:</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br /> Syed Samsamaul Hai arrives in London in 1964. After an illustrious political career in Pakistan, he is faced with a cold damp England, but is delighted with his British passport and eager to learn how to become English.<br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode 2:</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br /> Nearly a decade after arriving from Pakistan, Mr Hai has a good job, a wife and children. It is now time to move from his cramped flat in Holloway to a house in Wembley and embark on Operation Children to make his children English.<br /> <br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Episode 3:</span><!--bold--></span><!--underline--><br /> Nearly a decade after arriving from Pakistan, Mr Hai has a good job, a wife and children.
