Channel 4 has unveiled a Punjabi Asian family for the new series of their observational documentary series: The Family.

It will be the first documentary of its kind to show British Asian life in such detail.

The Windsor-based Grewal family were filmed over a period of 8 weeks, with 28 cameras following them around the clock.

They will be the subject of 8 one-hour films that will start airing 4th November.

The Grewals will feature nine family members, one of whom is born during the series, and three generations all living under one roof.

The series will also show a big Indian wedding taking place.

Simon Dickson, deputy head of documentaries at Channel 4, said: “Following the success of last year’s series, we are lucky to have found another brilliant family through whose eyes we can experience the highs and lows of family life.”

He added: “The Grewals are close knit and wonderfully warm – I know viewers are going to take them to their hearts over the coming weeks.”

Director David Clews said: “Making The Family has been an incredible experience. I think the films capture both the big issues and the intimate moments of family life and I hope everyone will enjoy spending time with the Grewals in the same way I have.”
