5 d. ago Just Act Normal: the dark comedy drama that’s a TV feelgood joy

This talent-packed Birmingham-set series follows three children with a missing mother and their attempts to stay out of care. It's amazing how much silliness they wring out of such a chilling premiseIt’s just the usual teenage girl japes: smoking, drinking, teaming up with your best friend to steal a chicken from an irate local farmer. But the motive behind 17-year-old Tiana’s decision to pinch some poultry is about as far from ordinary as you can possibly get. I’m not sure what a normal reason for stealing a chicken might be, but trust me: this is most definitely not it.We get slightly more clarity on the situation once Tiana brings the chicken home: it’s for her younger brother Tionne, who is prone on the sofa with a duvet over his head. The pair’s nine-year-old sister Tanika wants him to get up and “act normal”, otherwise he’ll end up in a home and she will get adopted, because she’s “young and pretty”. The trio’s mum is missing and Tionne needs the chicken for an experiment...

And when her son was born she couldn’t wait to share the Iraqi Jewish food of her ancestors. Unfortunately, he had other ideas My family takes food very seriously. So seriously that when my mother’s family left Iraq in 1971, limited to 20kg of luggage each, they found room for not one but two rolling pins. The truth is that, having used the rolling pins, I think they were right. Born in England, I grew up on my father’s stories, too, of going to a Baghdad street stall to buy hot samoon, Iraqi bread shaped like a teardrop, with a puffy middle and a crunchy crust, with amba (mango pickle) oozing out of it. But he left Baghdad even earlier, in 1951, in a mass airlift along with most of Iraq’s Jews. I grew up in Britain, homesick for a place I’ve never been to, and will probably never see. There are now just three Jews left in Iraq.Scattered across the ...
