1. Samosas, Suspicion and Stately Homes

Mrs Sidhu is Slough's answer to Miss Marple.

She’s a nosey Indian chef who gets mixed up in society crimes.

Since her husband's death, she’s built a successful reputation as a caterer expanding into well-heeled Berkshire, where posh clients pay better.

But when crime strikes, Mrs Sidhu embroils Inspector Burton – while at home, she’s plagued by her wily catering supplier Mr Varma and her wayward son, Tez.

In the opening episode, Mrs Sidhu heads to a posh wedding at Lapsley Hall where the bride appeals for her help in finding her missing maid of honour.

Meanwhile her son Tez is angry when she employs a French sous chef.
