TUNE IN: Kayvan Novak creates and stars in 'Asylum' on BBC Four

Kayvan Novak co-creates and stars in the Julian Assange-inspired sitcom Asylum, which first airs tonight at 9pm on BBC Four!

Since being granted asylum in the fictional 'El Rican', as opposed to Ecuadorian, embassy, whistleblower Dan Hern (Ben Miller) is the subject of scrutiny by the staff, whose world is getting ever smaller with the arrival of a more fashionable fugitive Ludo Backslash (Dustin Demri-Burns). 

The show portrays a claustrophobic embassy whose internal dramas provide a lot of laughs, courtesy of Ben Miller and of course, Mr. Kayvan Novak.
