Mas means masquerade or carnival, and one of the most massive carnivals is held each year in London's Notting Hill, home of Europe's biggest street festival. Last year 1.6 million people from all over the world travelled to celebrate this unique spectacle. But the carnival is bigger than the Bank Holiday weekend festivities. There are many exciting preludes to the main event: costume galas, calypso competitions and the steel band contest. This programme follows six people as they prepare for the various carnival events, ranging from 11-year-old Juanita Constantine, a gala hopeful, to Rudolph Crosnierde Bellaistre, a Parisian reveller.

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.
