What happens

Asian Provocateur is a British comedy travel documentary television series shown on the BBC. In 2015, comedian Romesh Ranganathan reluctantly travels to Sri Lanka after his mother, Shanthi, tells him that he is a "coconut" and that he should meet his relatives who live there and learn about his parents' country—including its culture, religion, and language. In 2016, a second series, Mum's American Dream, was broadcast on BBC one. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
