Mum's American Dream

BBC Three - Asian Provocateur, Mum's American Dream, Brother Dinesh

Romesh Ranganathan and his mum go on a tour of the Deep South with Romesh's brother Dinesh

Romesh Ranganathan and his mum are joined by Romesh's younger brother Dinesh and their Uncle Guru for a tour of the Deep South.

In this episode, Romesh's enthusiastic younger brother Dinesh is joining him on a tour of the Deep South with their Uncle Guru.

In New Orleans, the sibling rivalry gets off to a bad start when they take part in a professional wrestling match. Things do not get any better when Guru turns up in an RV to take them cat-fishing in Mississippi.

Can Romesh successfully join a troupe of male cheerleaders in Alabama and put on a guerrilla performance in front of an unsuspecting crowd? 

By the time they reach the final day of the road trip, Romesh's persistent petulance means the family have given up on trying to get him to join in with Dinesh's lifelong dream of doing a sky dive.
