Screen Two: My Sister-Wife

on BBC Two England

A new BBC film starring Meera Syal, Paul Bhattacharjee, Shaheen Khan

Farah is an independent young British woman who manages to reconcile her modern lifestyle with her Pakistani heritage. As a Muslim in love with a married man, she can become his second wife - especially as his first marriage to Maryam seems to exist in name only. But with all three under one roof, Farah becomes increasingly insecure. Written by Meera Syal, whose credits include Tandoori Nights and Black Silk.
