Stages: Two Oranges and a Mango

on BBC Two England

In the last in the series of dramas, a brother and sister travel from London to India for the funeral rites of their estranged Sikh father. For her, it is an opportunity to discover more about her homeland. But for the son, Devinder, the confrontation with foreign customs and the burden of new duties is unwelcome and traumatic.
Harwant Bains's screenplay tackles the contradictions in the life of a second-generation immigrant. Saeed Jaffrey ("Little Napoleons", "The Buddha of Suburbia") appears as the ghost of the father to guide his wandering son through an alien, threatening world of rites and responsibilities.
