파키스탄인임을 자랑스럽게 여기는 스낵바 주인 조지 칸의 자녀들에게 인생은 타협의 연속이다. 자녀들에게 '겐지스'로 통하는 조지에게 있어 인생은 가족들에게 전통적인 파키스탄의 가치관을 전수시키기 위한 치열한 전투나 다름없다. 그러나 1970년대 영국 살포드에서 이런 사고방식이 통할 리가 없다. 조지의 아내 엘라는 영국인이고 아들들도 자신만의 생각이 확고하다. 미나는 사리를 입기보다는 공차기를 좋아하고,살림은 사실은 예술학교에 다니면서 공학을 전공하는 척 아버지를 속인다. 타리크는 바람둥이로 동네에 소문이 자자하고, 사지트는 아직 할례도 받지 않았다. 이미 한 명을 강제로 중매결혼 시킨 조지는 다른 두 아들도 큰 정육점을 운영하는 샤씨의 딸들과 결혼시키려는 계획을 세운다. 아이들의 아버지의 독제에 반항하기 시작하면서, 엘라는 남편에 대한 사람과 아이들의 정당한 권리 중 하나를 선택해야 하는 기로에 서게 되는데...

This one-off was shown on ITV in 1991, and by different writers, then the original Talbot Rothwell & Sid Colin. In my opinion a brilliant come-back for Howerd, with a new cast, and funny script. This could have seen a good return as a series on ITV, although Howerds own death in 1992 limited this. The cast in this one-off feature some regulars from other sitcoms from the 1970's including Roy Evans who now stars in Eastenders. The set was more like a theatre than a TV set, no reality at all which, was actually quite a good move. In summing up they successfully bought a true classic back to life with Further Up Pompeii. It's well worth watching at least 2.
