As Mohammed becomes the most popular name for boys born in Britain, five men reflect on their lives and about what it's like to be a Mohammed in this country today.

As Mohammed - in all its spellings - becomes the most popular name for boys born in Britain, five men from across the country reflect on their lives and what it's like to be a Mohammed here today.

Driven to succeed from a young age but never fully at home in the classroom, Mohammed Asif Ali only ever felt truly comfortable when working with his hands. After securing an apprenticeship scheme to learn the secrets of motor vehicles he has not looked back. With a busy Huddersfield auto-repair business that was set up less than a year ago he is already able to give an apprentice the same chance that he had. A tale of hard graft, deeply held principles and tenpin bowling.

Producer: Rich Ward.
