A campy, progressive bbc teatime spin on Aladdin. Young Ali Sah din lives in a tower block, where good people are victimized by the wicked conservative MP al Dunbar (Colin Baker). When he finds a magical lamp containing a genie (Also Baker) and a ring genie (Art Malik), he discovers that Dunbar has been using subterfuge and the genie’s magic to lengthen his time in the House of Commons. Ethnically diverse cast, and it uses a mixture of the Chinese elements of the original and the Arabian of adaptations.
