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.
Meet the Adebanjos began life in 2011 as a web series that was self-funded by the show's creators, Andrew Osayemi and Deborah Odutayo. The comedy stems from the typical ups and downs of family life, and the patriarch Bayo's rivalry with the equally larger-than-life and rather eccentric Auntie Funke.[3]
