Episode 4: Cousin Krishna Returns

Mum's American Dream

BBC Three - Asian Provocateur, Mum's American Dream, Cousin Krishna Returns

Romesh and his mum meet up with Romesh's cousin Krishna at a cowboy ranch in Colorado.

Romesh Ranganathan and his mum meet up with Romesh's cousin Krishna at a cowboy ranch in Colorado, but Romesh struggles with his horse.

Romesh is reunited with his cousin Krishna at a cowboy ranch in Colorado, where Shanthi wants Romesh to use the experience to teach Krishna how to become a man. Romesh struggles to make his horse do anything and as a result gets demoted to increasingly awful ranch hand duties, while Krishna spends the day riding. Romesh's final job is a terrifying encounter administering medical treatment to a totally unrestrained alligator. 

After a bad start, Romesh decides to abandon the cowboy ranch and do something he and Krishna can actually take part in together - meeting a real-life superhero called Dangerman, who patrols a local park between 2pm and 4pm.

Slightly underwhelmed, Romesh changes tactics and tries to 'pull a Hitch' and teach his cousin how to be more successful with girls. The cousins must then return to the ranch for their final riding mission, where they have to herd cattle in the wild. Romesh is still riding high from teaching Krishna about girls, but he has a concern that Krishna might tell his mother Saroja.
