About this listen

Nothing escaped the eye of the satirical eye of Britain's phenomenally successful all-Asian sketch show Goodness Gracious Me.

The complete BBC Radio series 1-3 preceded the award-winning BBC TV series that ran in the late 1990s, and features the same cast.

Prepare for your heart to pound in the Indian recreation of Brief Encounter, sing along to the profound words of wisdom with Fifty Ways to Leave your Mother, and enjoy pop classics such as 'Hindi People' and 'Punjabi Girl'.
Along with the discovery that The Royal Family are actually Indian, there are a ton of characters to enjoy- the Guru, Smeeta Smitten, the Coopers, Mrs I-Can-Make-it-at-Home and Mr Everything-Comes-from-India.

If you don't like your comedy to be really, really bland (like a good English) then Goodness Gracious Me is the satirical series for you.

Really, really funny! I enjoyed the tv show years ago but had never heard the radio programmes until recently. This was just as good, humour from the same team, and I enjoyed it throughout.

Hilarious and enjoyable

These shows were funny and entertaining to listen to. Great observations about British Indian culture. Very witty and amusing throughout.
Shame that there aren't more of these radio shows.

Fabulous Indian Comedy!!

Seems to have several (developing) skits not in the TV dvds. Very amusing despite the age. One star down only because some of the kits were emerging ones and later sketches and TV reached fruition!

Enjoyable!!

This is purely a product of its time. However it is really amazingly funny. This is a cavalcade of sketches put together in audio form, so it gets low story star points. I can understand how with a modern, sensitive audience may get upset by some of the humour on show, but bare in mind, it is British people of Indian heritage making fun of that heritage. A white person liking this isn't racist, they just have a diverse sense of humour.

Great Humour from those ok to laugh at themselves.
