الف نون, a very famous Comedy series from Pakistan Television written by Kamal Ahmed Rizvi. The cast consist of Rafi Khawar known as Nannha and Kamal Ahmed Rizvi known an Allan. Allan was shown as a clever business minded person who used to come up with some nasty and immoral tricks to earn fast money and used to use Nannha as his stooge. He was not himself inclined to work and would rather used to be the sleeping partner in every saga or telling the tricks to poor Nannha (his Front man). The character of Nannha became an instant hit. He was shown as an innocent and funny looking person from rural area who loved his country and would dream of living an honest livelihood. He didn’t know the norms of the new society and was therefore used by Allan as the front man for his tricks. In the end, he would toss out the whole plot of Allan by speaking the truth to the public. Although it may be considered by many as a mere comedy series, it showed a dark side of Pakistani Society where many people were trying to earn money by deception and extremely corrupt business techniques. Another aspect may be also that it tried to show those thugs and fraudulent people the right way and eventually tried to kindle the patriotic spirit in them.

His literary skills in this series may never be matched by any comedy show in the new era …
