BBC Two is to air a documentary about Goodness Gracious Me this Christmas to mark twenty years since the trailblazing sketch show went out.
In Goodness Gracious Me - 20 years innit! the channel will be looking back at some the funniest and most loved moments and revealing the ten most memorable sketches - decided by comedy fans on a supporting BBC website. We will feature exclusive interviews with its stars and creators alongside other comedians who are fans of the series.
The show created over 100 characters, dozens of catchphrases and some of the standout comedy moments of the last two decades with sketches featuring The Kupers/Coopers, Mr Everything Comes From India, Chunky Lafunga, Cheque Please, Competitive Mums and of course the classic, Going For An English. Goodness Gracious Me may have started as a comedy from a specific cultural perspective, but quickly transcended that to become a multi-award winning, mainstream success with genuine universal appeal.
