Meet the Adebanjos is a single-camera sitcom created by Debra Odutuyo and Andrew Osayemi and produced by MTA Productions. Centred on a Nigerian-British family living in Peckham, South London[1] the show focuses on the larger-than-life patriarch Bayo Adebanjo as he struggles to instill his old-fashioned African values within his reluctant British family.
The sitcom began as a revolutionary self-funded web series in 2011 and quickly became an international hit on televisions across the globe [2] as it was shown in countries like Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Uganda. Since its launch, the programme has gained a devoted following in the African-British community.
