1998-2001 Sketch Comedy show performed by British Indians Meera Syal, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Kulvinder Ghir and Nina Wadia. Most sketches were self-parody of British Asians and Asian culture, the reaction of white British people to Asians, or Indian-styled spoofs of western TV shows. Began as a radio series, then became a TV adaption on BBC1. A one off reunion special aired in 2014 with a second in 2015 as part of "Indian Season".Regular characters included: Cheque Please - A tactless playboy who drives his dates away with insensitive behaviour or comments. Bhangra Muffins - Two "street" teenage boys with attitude. Everything Comes From India - A man who believes that everything from shampoo note :Actually semi-true; see The Other Wiki's page on the subject for details. to Superman is Indian note Except God, who clearly cannot be Indian as he works a six-day week, no Sundays, and Michaelangelo's David because no man with an organ that small could ever be Indian or was invented by Indians. Minx Twins - Gossipy teenage girls. Chunky Lafanga - Bollywood superstar. Smeeta Smitten Showbiz Kitten - A Bollywood reporter whose presenting style leaves a lot to be desired. The Coopers - Snobbish nouveau riche couple in denial that they are Indian. Bhangra Man - A superhero who saves people through the power of bhangra dance. Guru Maharishi Yogi - A spiritual "guru" who likes to con money out of his followers. The Competitive Mothers: Exactly What It Says on the TinThe best remembered sketch from the show, which has won several awards, was "Going for an English" - a parody of the behaviour of drunken Brits in Indian restaurants. | |

Stereotype Flip | |
| Goodness Gracious Me (Radio) / int_10ca13e4 | comment |
Stereotype Flip: One sketch flips the stereotype of obnoxious Brits making fools of themselves at Indian restaurants with a bunch of Indians who decide to "go for an English". The first sketch on the TV show has one white guy having to deal with his all-Indian employers not getting his name, constantly mispronouncing it despite his efforts to help them along. A sketch in the Christmas special has a young man telling his mum and dad he doesn't want to be a pop star, like all his cousins. He wants to be a doctor! And he's never been gay. Later on, there's a woman interviewing three 'teenagers' who're harassed by their friends because they're... middle class. They don't even know how to say "innit", bruv. | |

Just the Introduction to the Opposites | |
| Goodness Gracious Me (Radio) / int_19661850 | comment |
Just the Introduction to the Opposites: "Going Out for an English", about a group of drunk and rowdy Indian friends who visit an English restaurant, repeatedly mispronounce the waiter's strange foreign name (James) and show how macho they are by ordering "the blandest thing on the menu". This sketch is exceptional for the series in that it makes fun of a stereotype of white British, rather than British Asian, behaviour. | |

Captain Ethnic: The Punjabi super-hero BhangraMan, who defeats his foes through his amazing superpower of Indian folk dancing. BhangraMan is meant as a double parody, firstly of comic super-heroes in general, and secondly of the home-grown Indian variant such as Shaktimaan and Nagraj. | |

Magical Asian: Where the Indian guru teaching the secrets of Hinduism to a roomful of credulous white disciples is quite blatantly only in it for the money, and is feeding them profound-sounding nonsense to justify the "living expenses" they are paying him. He is explicitly an Expy of The Beatles' guru Maharishi Yogi, right down to the name. | |

Token White: The show had Dave Lamb in the cast to play the Token White Man, who was cast in role-reversal situations where he represented the equivalent of an Indian or Pakistani, who is alone among white people in an unfamiliar culture. This was used to LampShade white British attitudes towards Asians, ranging from well-meaning ineptitude to outright racism. note Dave is better known as the mega-sarky narrator of foodie show Come Dine With Me. | |

My Beloved Smother | |
| Goodness Gracious Me (Radio) / int_b58c51d8 | comment |
My Beloved Smother: A recurring joke is Asian mothers being extremely controlling, with the bickering mothers getting into an argument about it. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| Goodness Gracious Me (Radio) / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: A father reassures his distraught wife that they'll confront their son about a matter calmly. Then when their son enters he starts yelling at him. A woman applying for a job at the BBC chides the Asian Babe for being degrading and setting feminism back with her airheadedness. Then in her interview acts just as airheaded. | |

Fauxreigner: One sketch was a parody of The Great Escape, where a group of Indian prisoners of war in WWII attempt to escape by posing as East Germans - "very East" | |

| Goodness Gracious Me (Radio) / int_dca6a9d | comment |
Start My Own: When Smeeta Smitten is fired from the TV show she presents, she decides to create her own show and sell it to the network; and produces several attempted pilot episodes. None of them goes well. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: The "Marriage Emporium" sketch is one to Monty Python's "Cheese Shop Sketch" (with a bit of the Dead Parrot thrown in at the end). | |

Flanderization | |
| Goodness Gracious Me (Radio) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: A mild but distinct example with Mr Everything Comes From India. In his early sketches he'd set up the joke by mentioning things that actually are from India (e.g. the words "veranda" and "bungalow") before claiming things that definitely aren't (e.g. the phrase "mock Tudor mansion"). In later sketches he'd skip the first bit and go straight to claiming non-Indian things as Indian with absurd justifications. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor: One Smeera Smitten sketch has her saying that after her career hit the skids she'd wound up a drug-addled, manic depressive alcoholic... so naturally she managed to easily get a job at the BBC. | |

Pretty Fly for a White Guy: One song on the show was a parody of "Common People" by Pulp. The singer accuses his white girlfriend of trying too hard to emulate Hindi culture because she thinks it's trendy. | |

Titled After the Song | |
| Goodness Gracious Me (Radio) / int_fcdf597b | comment |
Titled After the Song: "Goodness Gracious Me" was originally a comic song by Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren, in which Sellers (who was white) played a heavily-accented Indian doctor and Loren his patient, who was in love with him. According to Word of God, the Goodness Gracious Me team originally intended to do a much more aggressive sketch attacking the song, until they listened to the lyrics and realised that, despite the stereotypical fake accent, Sellers' character was actually quite positively portrayed and the song wasn't racist in its humour. | |
