DRAMA 10PM, BBC4

The BBC continue to spoil us with their classic drama reruns on a Wednesday night. This week it’s the turn of writer Hanif Kureishi’s semi-autobiogra­phical miniseries, first shown in 1993 and not broadcast for 15 years. It follows the hopes and dreams of Karim, a boy with an English mother and Pakistani father growing up amid the racism of 1970s south London. It launched the career of Naveen Andrews, who went on to star in Lost, boasts a soundtrack by David Bowie and put the experience­s of British-asians in the spotlight. ★★★★★ NT
