About this product
Product Information
Based on the 1990 novel by author/screenwriter Kureishi (MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDERETTE), this frank, funny BBC mini series originally ran on UK television in 1993. It is the mid-1970s, and Karim (Andrews) is a teenager of Pakistani descent in London. His office worker father (Seth) suddenly becomes a neighbourhood guru, teaching meditation classes around the neighborhood. Before long, Karim's father has a mistress (Fleetwood), whose son, a glam rocker who is also the coolest kid in school (Mackintosh), Karim finds himself strangely attracted to. Will Karim be able to navigate the confusion of youth and make a mark in theatre? Kureishi's funny and expansive tale, full of interesting characters, is given due treatment here, with a fine soundtrack by Bowie.Product Identifiers

A must watch for anyone interested in social identities, class and culture.
I watched this back in the 90's, but only caught a few random episodes. It's great to be able to watch the whole story. It's a joyus trip back in time with a host of amazing characters, all of whom are exploring themselves - radial and althernaive in their own special ways.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Engaging drama perfectly capturing 1970s London
Hanif Kureishi's engaging screenplay of his novel 'Buddha of Surburbia' perfectly captures the atmosphere of 1970s London. Following a group of eccentric characters trying to find their way in the world during turbulent political times, this television drama, which has a soundtrack by David Bowie, was one of the best of the '90s.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
