Written by screenwriter and director Nida Manzoor, the sitcom follows Muslim punk rock band Lady Parts as they strive to make a musical mark.

It is 25 years since children first ran around playgrounds shouting the catchphrase: “Kiss my chuddies!” And a quarter of a century since we laughed at the competitive mothers determined to outdo each other – one even demanding: “Yes, but how big is his danda?” – and winced at the rudeness of the ignorant diners “going for an English.”
