In Birmingham's inner city lives Mobeen: former small time drug dealer and now surrogate father to his much younger sister. He's desperately trying to do the right thing by being a good brother, friend and Muslim but his idiotic friends and family are constantly landing him in it.
Inner city Birmingham isn't somewhere that gets a lot of dramatic attention and this opens the doors to Mobeen's quirky, sometimes gritty and frequently surreal world.
The characterisation is fantastic and in Uncle Shady has one of the funniest and most surreal characters for a long time.
