The Birthday Episode Romesh Didn’t Want

Romesh doesn’t like celebrating his birthday… unfortunately the team had other plans.

In this chaotic birthday special, Romesh is joined once again by brother Dinesh and mum Shanthi, discussing everything from family pranking history and gardening to debating who would survive prison time and how.

You can expect lots of birthday fun, lots of push back from Romesh, some questionable birthday gifts and a bizarre role play.

Plus: Some Tamil and wedding song recommendations and Romesh being a birthday diva.
