Advantages: Funny but true!

Disadvantages: none

This show should have everybody from any culture in complete fits of laughter!

The concept: Indians making fun of themselves!
Essentially a comedy show, commented as being a 'sort of Asian Fast show' with sketches are performed, by the four main comedians; Meera Sayal, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Kulvinder Ghir and Nina Wadia.

The show originally started on radio, and when its potential was realised it was transferred to TV.

Brilliantly performed, sketches include a man who insists everything is Indian (including William Shakespeare); the backpackers from India (they started haggling over a price of a newspaper!); the Mr-Check-please-guy; and with Indian takes on Western Songs to round of each show (my favourite was 'Punjabi girl', a very comic parody of Aqua's No.1 hit, 'Barbie Girl') Goodness Gracious Me was assured to be very entertaining.

After 3 series of this show, it finished but Goodness Gracious Me opened doors to the quartet, with guest appearances in such mainstream shows as 'Holby City', 'Room 101' and 'At home with the Braithwaites'. Meera Sayal now is starring in her own sitcom, and along with Sanjeev Bhaskar host the successful 'The Kumars at No.42'
