Altanay is such a pretty girl bless her. Marshall is such a happy chill kid. Loved this 🙏🏼

[@vbrown6445]

All of these parents are lovely. You can tell how much they love their children.

[@lailaayan306]

💯 GOD bless

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

Uhh sorry Grandma, I'm gonna have to pass on that 🤣

[@vbrown6445]

It's been almost 20 years since this was filmed. It would be wonderful to get on update on where these three are now. I find it really interesting that although the three immigrated to the UK around the same age, the two young men still have heavy accents but Altanay doesn't have an accent at all. I am an immigrant to the U.S. myself, but came at age 6, so lost my accent pretty quickly. These kids were 10-11. That age seems to be a turning point for how we process language, but there seems to be big differences from person to person.

Marshall and Carls friendship is so cute ❤

[@neggylydejesus2766]

Very nice children, now adolescents.. wish them all the best in their lives and families as well!

I absolutely love people from Africa. They have such beautiful smiles and bright and shiny souls. They are very genuine and I feel like they would welcome anybody. No matter what color you are. I could be wrong. But I feel like they are just The most beautiful people on earth. Marshal and his smile 😁 is my favorite! All of the people in this documentary are amazing! I'd love to see where they are at today.

I don't think you realize how racist you are. We are ordinary people. Africa is a continent and all Africans are not the same just because most of us are black. We're not one homogenous group. You talk about us like we're mythical creatures or beings from another planet. It's so racist. That's the stereotype isn't...smiling Africans running in the dirt. You've been watching to many of those African Aid adverts.

[@alaskapeach]

Marshall is hilarious. Good on ya.

[@cruisesoetz1087]

Imrans had it tough. He comes from a rural community in Pakistan where English is not spoken. He came to a town with a large Pakistani community where he has been bullied and ridiculed by children from the same ethnicity. His dad is old and not aware of Imrans needs and mum is very simple person. The other two youngaters parents are well integrated and able to speak English.

Can you make a follow up episode, now in 2024?

[@katieistiredagain7288]

Id love to see this, especially with the recent events, I'd like to hear their perspectives and see how they have changed over the years

@@cruisesoetz1087 yes I remember watching it when it was on the TV

Wish they had more shows like this

[@SophiaRichardson-l4k]

I wonder how their lives are now, as the programme was filmed in 2010.

[@dingo1666]

In cultures where first cousins marry, the instances of deformed children is extremely high. There are obvious genetic reasons for that, but when people want to keep it all in the family, those are the pitfalls.

[@luvghd]

Yes and then it costs the NHS a lot of money

[@dingo1666]

@@luvghd Yup.

[@misskiz786]

@@luvghd I don't disagree with you nor do I believe that marrying cousins is a good idea, but let's keep it in perspective, I think drunkenness on a Fri and Sat night causes the NHS a lot more money than cousin marriages🙄

[@luvghd]

@@misskiz786 With all due respect, those people requiring medical assistance for intoxication from alcohol have generations of family lineage within the UK.

[@ninagill1407]

@@misskiz786how much tax do you think these taxi drivers (who don’t pay proper tax as they hide a lot of their income) and these cousin brides (who let’s face it mostly don’t work) contribute to the nhs? So it’s ok to risk having a disabled child who will suffer its whole life because according to you, drunks cost the nhs more? What a stupid argument. According to national statistics a child born disabled due to cousin marriage costs the nhs £250000 per year on average. There are 700 disabled children born due to cousin marriages per year. Now you do the maths how much does it all add up to over the years? Billions of pounds.

[@slammerlo510]

Marrying into a respectable family is considered honorable, but my cousin believes that I am committing a sin. This, I think, is not what God intended for us.

[@BESTOFTHEBEST123]

That's awesome dude 👏

[@lailaayan306]

Marrying a cousin is wrong on every level. Nothing like a bit of emotional blackmail to seal a marriage. On the plus side atleast he's happy with the arrangement. GOD bless them

[@chipashamoyo6435]

F is fail. That is a terrible report 😂

[@vbrown6445]

I will never understand the British aversion to redheads/"gingers".

So little imran wants the world to be mu slim? NOT happening son. 🤷

[@SandraCaines-p7m]

Sorry Grandma but no.

[@hereiswisdom]

This looks like it was filmed in the late 80s early 90s. I don't understand what the racist comment the boy said to the girl. Was it BROW???

[@deborah-dr]

It was filmed in 2005

[@vbrown6445]

How old are you? You obviously don't know what the 80s and 90s look like. If nothing else, those low-rise jeans on the girls and hair should have pointed you clearly to the early 2000s.

[@MH-hw4uh]

Don’t listens to that instruction 😢.

[@laylah150]

I was wondering why I had a soft spot for Imran, but it just clicked. He has ADD/neurodivergent.

[@luvghd]

@@laylah150 did you do a formal assessment with him and what qualifications do you have to make this diagnosis? It is very dangerous to be diagnosing people on the internet based on a few videos, even qualified medical professionals wouldn't be doing this. So just curious to know what made you think you had the right to publicly diagnose someone based on a video.

[@PeverellTheThird]

Instead of saying "he has", safer to say "he's displaying traits of".

[@mattuk56]

People can vote bnp if they want or whoever they want. That is democracy, people don't have to like it.

[@arvindbhullar-bi7qw]

I agree with you bit there is a reasom why nobody votes bnp anymore
