“Fasaana Mart Ka” is a warm, character-driven Ramzan dramedy set inside a bustling Karachi supermarket over the thirty days of the holy month. Within this everyday space, faith, fatigue, humor, and compassion
collide as staff and customers navigate fasting, financial pressures, misunderstandings, and moments of quiet generosity. Led by a gruff but kind-hearted owner, the store becomes a reflection of Pakistani society
during Ramzan, chaotic yet caring, noisy yet soulful. Each episode highlights a simple moral dilemma, showing how small acts of empathy, forgiveness, and decency carry the greatest blessings. Blending humor with
heartfelt emotion, “Fasana Mart Ka” celebrates Ramzan not as ritual alone, but as lived experience, where grace is found between the aisles, and ordinary people discover extraordinary meaning in everyday moments.
Freetime was a twice-weekly children's television programme shown on ITV between 1981 and 1985. Produced by Thames Television, it was a magazine format show devoted to hobbies and interests, and was designed to encourage viewers to get out and about rather than staying at home and watching television. It was hosted by the former Magpie presenter Mick Robertson.
He was initially joined on set by Trudy Dance, but she was soon replaced by Kim Goody until it was axed by the network in 1985. On 16 September 1988, Thames Television briefly re-launched Freetime, this time fronted by Andi Peters, but the series was cancelled after its fifteenth and final edition on 23 December 1988.
