Single and without a man on the horizon, Piaβs family sets her up on a series of increasingly desperate blind dates as she begins a hilarious but heartfelt quest for real love.
Itβs the final episode of Starstruck tonight!
Fun fact: This is the one nice photo

took with me the entire shoot, cos sheβs so method. It caused her physical pain.
Thanks to everyone who said nice things about the show. May your hearts stay full and beating β€οΈπ
The Firm have a long history of dominating their opponents, but these youngsters are doing something the world has never seen before.
I think this could go all the way to pens.

Imagine if everyone in the world whoβd been to India or practiced yoga did something to help the humanitarian crisis unfolding there at the moment?
Whether thatβs spreading the word or making a donation?

Today feels like a good day to share this. The line about my mum was not in the script.
@GuzKhanOfficial
ad-libbed it.
Iβm starting to think this gag this might have been the only reason I got cast.
Aa gaya, BAFTA nominee.
My real mum is not impressed.
So someone, and Iβm not saying who, got so vexed with this scene, that they had it removed from Facebook...
I wonder who that might have been?
Please share the bum cheeks off this and ensure that βtheyβ see it, over and over and over again π

When I was a kid my parents told me
βput your head down, work twice as hard as the person next to you, and youβll go far. Education is everything.β
How many of this generation were also told this? Only to see their hopes of a better life crushed by an algorithm?
Be furious.
We ainβt in Notting Hill any more kids...
When I first read this scene in the script I broke out into a big, dumb grin.
It perfectly encapsulates why this show was such a special thing to be a part of.

It pains me to gas him up cos he never returns my messages but

has done more for representation behind the camera on a low-budget show like

Andre Braugherβs Captain Holt had this wonderful combination of gravity, grace and goofiness that made him Brooklyn 99βs MVP. He raised every scene he was in. What an actor. What a sad loss.
Hey everyone in the UK. All of Starstruck is now up on iPlayer for you to binge. Alternatively, you can watch the first episode on BBC One tomorrow at 10.40pm. Whatever floats your boat. In the words of the great

London today, vast numbers of people in this crowd are there to celebrate murderous depravity & to incite the eradication of Jews from Israel.
And people (pretend to) wonder why Jewish people want a home of their own.
Whatβs that? You wish more conversations about representation mentioned Buffy AND Warhammer? Thanks to
@browngirlmag
for a great chat. Really let my geek flag fly on this one.
I did have friends at school I swear.
First look picture for Starstruck, Rose Matafeo's new BBC sitcom. Nikesh Patel co-stars, and the cast list also includes Emma Sidi, Jon Pointing, Sindhu Vee and more:

Obviously donβt make Tez drink, that would be terrible. Just spin him around a lot.
Spinning isnβt haraam, right? Iβll check.
The fact that she does this respectfully makes Mindy a classier person than me and speaks to the higher standard women of colour are always held to when it comes to dealing with this kind of shit.
We shouldnβt have to be respectful to be heard. Good on you for speaking out βπ½π

If youβre working class and interested in a career behind the camera this is an unmissable opportunity.
I am trying to leave a legacy here.
I want to see working class people get involved in every aspect of our show.
These opportunities are rare, but we have facilitated this for our peopleβs.

Dear White People,
Hello!
I would add to this:
Donβt let your fear/awkwardness/guilt about βsaying the wrong thingβ paralyse you from doing something.
Make an offering.
If youβre met with anger or frustration, listen to whatβs being said.
Donβt quit at the first hurdle.
Non-Black people:
Grasp the nettles. Have the talks. Own your fuckups.
Donβt expect a cookie when you get it right. π«πͺ
On to the next action.
And when we get tired, just think how tired Black people must feel.
(Try not to skip breakfast though. Breakfast is really good.)
So I accidentally booked for a Silver Screening of

This morning my driver Raza was waiting for me in his fresh white juba, having come straight from the mosque this morning. The first thing he did when I got in the car was give me some chocolate.
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today. π

I tried out for the role of Greg. I booked it! But before I accepted, I asked if they could change "Greg" to something Persian. I have never known a Persian guy named Greg.
