Further details

Sami is now an official asylum-seeker. Despite what Peter thinks, Katy is determined that Sami should stay for as long as he needs to, and since it's her house, Peter can't really object. John has organised the spare room to make it just like Damascus, and in return Sami introduces Katy and John to his new British friend Raj. Peter is given the job parenting John after his first day at a new school, but it is only a matter of hours before a stolen phone and something far more dodgy than a simple trip to a petting zoo put everything in jeopardy.

How to deal with a racist

Whilst at the post office, Sami runs into someone who doesn't take kindly to him...

Featuring: Rebekah Staton (Katy), Youssef Kerkour (Sami), Victoria Willing (Post Office Teller), Richard Glover (Lee), Richard Syms (Alf) & Jurell Carter (David).

Press

Episode two of Rufus Jones's gently subversive refugee comedy, and Sami from Syria gets to grips with his new life in Dorking - which largely involves running into Brexity locals and mean teenagers. Will disdainful Peter come back from work and save the day? Not quite.

Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 12th March 2019
