4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful little show., 23 Feb 2003

By	Chojin Steiner "ChojinSteiner" (California) - See all my reviews

The premise for the show is simple. 4 talented middle-eastern actors making fun of themselves. There are many stereotypes for the general Indian populace of England, and when viewing a series like Goodness Gracious Me, you can see they poke fun at both sides. The truthful stereotypes, and the not so truthful ones, both in the same skit.

The show is extremely funny too. It kept me in stitches every week. It's been pretty topical, and while it's not for everyone (certain skits involving the 'Coopers' didn't go down to well with the Church of England), I feel that most people will find their own favourites in the show. Popular recurring characters include the Indian mother, who believes she can make anything you want for nothing (except a small aubergine), the 'Innit' kids, the wannabe-English 'Coopers' and the man who believes that every feat of human courage and achievement was fronted by an Indian. "Churchill was Indian."

I recommend this to comedy fans, particularly open minded ones at that. While some of the references will be lost on younger audiences as the series ages, I think you should pick up a comedy. You will laugh until it hurts.
