Recent decade or so has brought forth plenty of crime series where characters, their family, relationships and hobbies prevail over the intense crime solving activities. Thus, the amount of funny moments is bigger and "ordinary" viewers can more relate to the events than just having an "outside" watch... Mrs. Sidhu Investigates is definitely one of such series, being not lame thanks to a certain quality standard BBC maintains. As Slough is ethnically a very diverse area, with lots of inhabitants of Asian origin, it is not another (often odd) attempt to follow politically correct approach.
True, I have my doubts how the events and scenes correspond to reality when fighting major crimes in the modern world and if people with something to hide really open up to a caterer, but the narration is smooth, the main performers are distinct and pleasant (Meera Syal and Craig Parkinson in particular), and the inclusion of other actors known from similar series in smaller roles provide additional value.
The final scenes of Episode 4 alluded that other episodes might follow.
