The Kumars at No. 42

It's the first ever show and Michael Parkinson is going to be on the show. Sushila fancies him like mad and can't wait. Sanjeev however wants to be a better talk show host than him. At the end when Michael Parkinson left, Sanjeev felt like he did it.

Tough guy (Ray Winstone) and Nancy boy (Llewelyn-Bowen) are on this episode. Sanjeev gets tips on how he could be cool like Ray Winstone.

The Kumars look for a new band in a Pop idol style way. But the real excitement is behind the appearance of Donny Osmond. The whole family are excited except for Ashwin, who's not interested in the music business. At the end, Donny Osmond and Westlife build Sushila a new wardrobe.

Robson Green and Lulu came at the same time so the Kumars pick Lulu to interview first while Sushila locks Robson in her bedroom. Then after the Lulu interview, the Kumars realise they left Robson with Sushila and who knows what she'll do but they were only playing cards.

Ashwin and Madhuri are having problems. Ashwin is not listening to his wife. Shane Richie tries to help him but it didn't work. At the end, Ashwin and Madhuri have a Jerry Maguire ""You had me at hello"" scene and get back together. Meanwhile, after Shane Richie used the toilet, it mysteriously blocked up...

The family got really excited about the new series and really felt it was going to be their best series till all 4 of them saw.....crossed slippers. In India, people who look at crossed slippers get a curse and start fearing for the show. Westlife came in, making it a sign of the curse as they had them on before! Then after the Neil Pearson interview, (which they thought went badly), Ashwin tells Sanjeev to tell Westlife they can't perform on the show. So Sanjeev leaves Denise Van Outen to do it, who doesn't do it obviously. Then afterwards, Sanjeev finally tells the band they can't do it. But they did anyway so Madhuri and Sushila put something on them to stop the curse. Then gives them chutney at the end.

Ashwin gets jealous of David Dickinson as he can find cheap bargains better than he can. Sanjeev, a big Trekkie he is, was excited about Patrick Stewart coming to the show and even dressed up as him in Star trek though Sushila told him he hated talking about Star trek but it turns out he doesn't and spent the first half of the interview talking about it.

Sushila is going to be meeting her childhood sweetheart again. It develops during the episode including Amanda Holden (badly) doing Sushila's make-up. Then he finally arrives with Rachel Stevens' dancers. And he's as old and feeble as she is. Rachel performs her solo single ""Sweet dreams, my LA Ex"" using toilet paper and the family dance along to the song with also toilet paper. They use Amanda as a maypole. Then when Sushila goes to the toilet, Amanda and Sushila's sweetheart start talking then leave the house with each other. Sushila sees and stands there heartbroken.....with toilet paper.
