Second Generation is a 2003 British two-part television romantic drama directed by Jon Sen, written by Neil Biswas, and stars Parminder Nagra, Christopher Simpson and Danny Dyer.
Inspired by the Jacobean tragedy King Lear by William Shakespeare, the drama revolves around two childhood sweet-hearts who find the passion is still there when their paths cross. It was broadcast by Channel 4 over two consecutive days on 14 September 2003 and 15 September 2003.
Estranged from her family for nine years, feisty, independent Heere (Parminder Nagra) is living with her white, music journalist fiancé, Jack (Danny Dyer). When her father, Sharma (Om Puri), falls into a coma, her older sisters, Pria (Rita Wolf) and Rina (Amita Dhiri), get back in touch.
Meanwhile, Sam is recruiting Uzi (Sonnell Dadral) for his underground record label, Monsoon. Sharma's friend and employee, Khan (Anupam Kher), (who is also Sam's father) intends on stopping the conniving Pria from selling Sharma's food factory, even though Mohan (Roshan Seth) warns Khan not to get involved and thinks it is justice for Sharma swindling them out of their share of the business. Jack and Heere go to Club 23 nightclub, where Heere meets Sam after years apart. They go back to his flat and embrace, but she regrets the encounter and leaves. Sharma wakes up on the day his daughters were set to turn off his life support machine. Sam continues his attempts to pursue Heere.
Heere attends Sharma's puja with Jack where she is disowned by Sharma. Heere turns up with a friend at a meeting Sam is having with Jack. After Sam tells his elder brother, Firoz (Nitin Ganatra), that he has met Heere, and Firoz passes this along to Rina, Pria then tells Heere that there is a rumour that Heere and Sam are having a sexual relationship. Heere confronts Sam and they end up having sexual intercourse.
