List of Citizen Khan episodes

Mrs Khan's mother is staying with the family. But Mr Khan's big opportunity to hobnob with the bigwigs of the Sparkhill Business Association is threatened when he has to take his mother-in-law on a shopping trip she will never forget.

The Khans have a spare invite for the wedding. For Mr Khan the fewer the guests the better, which is why he believes in inviting only influential people like Councillor Javed. So when Mrs Khan suggests inviting the Parvez family, Mr Khan is faced with an important decision. To add to his concerns, it also happens to be the Khans' wedding anniversary.

Mr Khan is off to meet the new mosque manager, whom he expects will finally get him onto the mosque committee. Naani, Mr Khan's mother-in-law, is visiting from Pakistan. Mrs Khan is worried because she has been doing nothing except stare into space all day.

On Christmas Eve, Mrs Khan has decided to have a traditional family Christmas, their first one ever. Mr Khan is not supportive; he thinks Christmas is just an excuse for people to get ripped off and he believes the Khans have the perfect reason not to celebrate it as they are Muslims.

With the wedding being planned, Mr and Mrs Khan invite the Maliks to the house for a dinner party. Mr Khan sees Mr Malik as his fast track onto a local business committee. The Khans pull out all the stops to impress their guests, while Alia is given permission to go to a birthday party after Mr Khan learns that it is at the house of the head of the local business committee. But when Mr Khan receives an unexpected phone call from the police, any future the two families have together sits on a knife edge.

When Mrs Khan announces she's running a stall at the local city farm to promote the supermarket's new organic range, Mr Khan couldn't be any less interested. Everyone who's anyone has been invited to a Prince Charles royal reception in Birmingham, but he hasn't had an invitation. He sees a chance to get his invite directly when he hears HRH might be dropping in to the city farm. Unfortunately he has to impress the head of the welcoming committee, Marina Fairchild, first. In customary Khan style, he decides to bend the truth in order to win Marina round. Everything goes swimmingly until his lies catch up with him and life on the farm becomes quite a handful.

It's Christmas Eve, 10 months after Shazia and Amjad's wedding, and Mr Khan is in a festive mood for once. He's even bought himself a new suit. Could it have something to do with the fact that he has been given the honour of placing the star on top of the Sparkhill inter-faith Christmas tree? There's great excitement as the entire family gathers at the Khan house before heading out to the ceremony. But then it turns out Shazia has alternative plans. Shazia then gives birth to a baby boy named Mohammed. Mohammed is born the same day Christians believe Jesus was born on.

The Khans decide to have a family day out to visit Farley Manor, owned by Lord Anstruther, which is putting on a display of Indian treasures collected during the British Raj. Meanwhile, Mr Khan's efforts to impress the council committee are put on hold while he babysits Naani round the old manor. He becomes much keener on all things ancient and Indian after meeting Lord Anstruther, but his hopes of hob-nobbing with the aristocracy are jeopardised by Naani's sticky fingers.

First Appearance: Krupa Pattani as Shazia

Mr Khan wants to enrol baby Mohammad at a good school and tries to take the inside track by becoming a school crossing patrol officer. But the training regime and selection process is tougher than he was expecting, even with Amjad helping him to get fit on the streets of Birmingham. Meanwhile, Naani wants the family to have a proper family photo done in a studio. Shazia and Alia clash when Alia tries to hijack the studio session to get photos for her personal fashion vlog (which already has thousands of followers - most of them drawn to a video of Mr Khan walking to the bathroom in his underpants).

Mrs Khan decides she and Mr Khan should have more 'together' time, and invites Khan along to watch her tango class demonstration. Mr Khan already has something planned - he's opening a fried chicken franchise on the High Street. He's keeping it a secret from Mrs Khan as he's invested their pension money in it. He enrols, Alia, Amjad, Naani and nephew Faraz as his chicken shop crack team. Matters are further complicated when the manageress at the chicken shop, Sandra takes a shine to Amjad. But for Mr Khan this could be just what he needs...

While trying to teach Baby Mo how to play cricket Mr Khan discovers that his little grandson might be psychic, and immediately sets him to work picking his lottery numbers. Amjad's mother, Mrs Malik, is threatening to solve Shazia and Amjad's housing problems by taking them with her to live in Bradford. Mrs Khan succumbs to stomach pains as a result of the stress, and the family rush her to hospital. On her hospital gurney, while waiting to see a doctor (whom she tries to set up with Alia), Mrs Khan makes her husband promise to stop Shazia, Amjad and Baby Mo going to live with the in-laws. Khan has to use his ingenuity, and a DNA testing kit, to try and save the day - not before electrocuting himself on a defibrillator and getting involved in one mo' mix up...

In line with the great tradition of British Muslim baking, Mr Khan enters the Great Sparkhill Bake Off. He's making his own version of the Lemon Drizzle Inside Out cake. Meanwhile, there are more pressing problems on the domestic front: Alia's got a boyfriend called Scab. Mrs Khan is worried that he sounds too rough and sends Mr Khan (and son-in-law Amjad) to give him a talking to - at a pub. After negotiating a number of bearded biker men, Khan meets the boyfriend and for purely selfish reasons invites him over to the house. However Mrs Khan makes a discovery that forces Mr Khan to quiz Alia about every father's worst nightmare...

Having been made to sleep in the car by Mrs Khan after forgetting their wedding anniversary, Mr Khan is on a mission to make amends. But his boast to Dave that he knows local boy Moeen Ali backfires when Amjad suggests he could get the famous England all-rounder to make a celebrity appearance at the fundraiser that Mrs Khan and Shazia are helping organise. Mr Khan has no option but to get to the cricket match to find Moeen and do whatever it takes.

First Appearance: Zainab Akhtar as Nadiya Khan

Mr Khan buys a drone camera to keep an eye on the local neighbourhood and finds out that his grandson Mo is being bullied at nursery. However, when he decides to take Amjad in hand and teach him how to be a better dad, he gets a lot more than he bargained for during a trip to the local pool and later when re-enacting a scene from gangster drama Peaky Blinders. Meanwhile, Shazia and Amjad are getting ready to go on their first family holiday together, except Mrs Khan thinks she's going along too.

Guest Star: Laura Aikman as Debbie and Ricky Grover as Doug

Mr. Khan tips his hat to Frank Capra’s Christmas classic It’s A Wonderful Life, with Sparkhill taking the place of Bedford Falls and Mr. Khan, like George Bailey, facing up to the fact that his life hasn’t turned out the way he planned it. But an encounter with a mysterious heavenly passer-by shows him how things might have been different and convinces him that, despite all its frustrations, his is a “Khanderful Life” after all. Mr Khan narrates as we go back in time to the The Khan's early years.
