SUMMARY   Doctor Gabriele 'Lele' Martini and his family live in a large house on the outskirts of Rome, together with his father Libero, a retired railwayman and trade union activist, and the live-in maid Cettina.
Widower Lele is a busy man and has no time for love, until he realises his sister-in-law, journalist Alice, is the woman of his dreams.
Meanwhile Lele's children (boy Ciccio, 20-something Maria and little Annuccia) are always up to something...
Life for many in the Martini family is nothing short of a roller-coaster: they emigrate to Australia, travel to Africa, get married as pensioners...

KABIR BEDI DETAILS    
Kabir's part
Kabir has lots of screen time in the series.
Kabir plays Nonno (Granddad) Kabir Dahvi who opens a restaurant in Poggio Fiorito.
Nonno Kabir is the uncle of Sarita, a young female doctor from India, and he is headed for some stormy romantic weather with a character called Cettina, a housekeeper, played by actress Lunetta Savino.
He is also likely to cause confusion among several other females in the Martini household...
Dr.Emilio, the new lead character (David Sebasti), will fall for the charms of Kabir's screen niece Sarita.
Sarita (Shivani Ghai), described as "beautiful, serious, conscientious, likeable and patient", will open an Ayurvedic medicine center at the policlinic.
Tgcom.mediaset.it reports that new Nonno Kabir will be pitted against Lino Banfi, the original Nonno of the series.
Nonno Libero will become the mayor of Poggio Fiorito and his wife will be a councellor/head of the opposition...
Both Nonni will initially disagree a lot in the new episodes - but in the end all will be well and they will even form "a big coalition".

When they all troop into the restaurant, full of excitement, Nonno Kabir fails to understand the purpose of their visit. And when Sarita explains, and Emilio makes his request, there is a nasty surprise for the young couple... Meanwhile, single mother Maura, the banker whose son is friends with Oscar's daughter, takes a liking to Oscar. They spend a lot of time together ? to the chagrin of Oscar's friend Max, who is clearly jealous...

Her advances force Oscar to come out of the closet and declare he is gay, living with his friend Max. To celebrate their wedding day, Nonno Libero has bought Enrica an exorbitantly expensive face powder. But because of a silly coincidence, Enrica never gets to hold the precious container ? even if it seems otherwise. Just as she is about to use the powder, Libero stops her.

Although banker Maura was turned down by Oscar, she decides to help him and the others raise the money to buy the clinic. She may be a businesswoman at heart, but she wears that heart in the right place. Sarita makes a shocking discovery during a concert by visiting star Caterina Morelli (Carole André):

A misunderstanding gets Enrica so angry that she wants to divorce Nonno Libero.

Although finally willing to return to the conjugal home, she will face an unwelcome surprise! Sarita has some serious problems too ? instead of giving her the document that releases her from her arranged betrothal, Ravi demands money from Sarita. He says it is to pay an old debt of her father's, and threatens to make her marry him if she won't pay...

Cettina launches an offensive against Melina, her shameless cousin who went behind her back. Which of the two rivals will (re)conquer Torello's heart?? A broken-hearted Sarita seems to have no choice but to marry her arranged Indian fiancé. But her true love, Doctor Emilio, fins out that the man pretending to be Ravi isn't Ravi at all, but a fraud who's after Sarita's money... Will the chivalrous medic rescue his doe-eyed Indian belle from the clutches of an evil swindler? How far will Nonno Kabir's jaw drop when he finds out?

One of the Italian producers of the Medico series said today that a sixth series will be made to wrap up all the remaining storylines involving the Martini clan.
It's still not clear if the main star, Lino Banfi, will be in it.
Like many other players, Banfi has said on his own blog site that he is busy working on other projects.
However, the new series is believed to focus on the couples that featured in yesterday's instalment - Nonno Libero and Nonna Enrica could make their wedding official, their current marriage being null and void because of a clerical error; Alberto and Reby could continue their relationship; and Sarita and Emilio might start a family. And last but not least, Nonno 'Sandokan' Kabir Bedi might just renew his vows with his great love, Pearl of Labuan Carole André! Together they could live their lives far from James Brooke's henchmen... - not on Mompracem but in Italy!
