Further details
All Mobeen wants to do is follow his faith, lead a good life and make sure his sister fulfils her potential. But can he juggle this with his criminal past always chasing him?
After the attack on his best friends and threats against his sister at the end of the last series, Series 3 finds Mobeen armed, dangerous and out for revenge. Determined to resolve things without bloodshed, his attempts to make up for past mistakes see him pulled back into the world of unhinged crime boss Uncle Khan.
In the opening episode and owing money to Khan, (with deadly consequences if he doesn't pay him back) Mobeen struggles to undertake his criminal orders under the watchful eye of Khan's useless nephew Nav.
Now living at Uncle Shady's "Safe House", can Mobeen keep his family safe whilst staying out of jail? Or will the dark path he's being forced down lead to him paying the ultimate price?

Let Mobeen put kids on the straight and narrow
Season three of Man Like Mobeen has hit our screens and it is phenomenal. I genuinely believe that this programme - which follows Birmingham lad Mobeen as he tries to be a good Muslim, look after his little sister and stay away from a life of crime - needs to be compulsory viewing in secondary schools up and down the country. Mr Education Secretary Gavin Williamson, listen up.
