Did anyone watch this programme which was on last night (possibly a series).
About a Muslim who found out he had been adopted and that he was in fact a Jew. Very funny as he tried to come to terms with it. Sure it was Alexei Sayle in the lead role.

Does God have a religion?

I didn't see it - but I'll look out for repeats. Which channel was it on, maggie?

When north London Muslim Mahmud's mother dies he discovers from his birth certificate that he is adopted - and Jewish. With his son poised to marry the son of a hardline Islamic cleric now is not the perfect time for Mahmud to have a crisis of faith. But then he meets an American Jewish cabbie and begs him to show Mahmud how to be a proper Jew, with disastrous results.

Was on BBC1 last night.
