I love the send up, to laugh at us Indians and our values in the West. I most love the UK accents..

scetches are as relevant now as they were then. It was groundbreaking with an amazingly talented cast. Thoroughly enjoyed rewatching this gem.

Hilarious Comedy Sketch Show of the 90s
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
One of the best BBC comedies from the late 90's and early 2000's. Smashes the Indian stereotype, and introduces us to some extremely clever and funny characters. Sometimes the show does have a political undertone to it, but it is extremely witty, well observed, and relevant. This box set contains all three seasons of the show, plus the Christmas Special, and the Indian Special, which was filmed almost exclusively in India, and takes the humour to another level.
Straightforward comedy without the usual profanities. Excellent to see "the other side of the coin" when the practice of micky-taking is in full swing: when you see Skipinder and listen to the voice-over you'd best be ready for it. Sit still, don't try to eat or drink and put the oxygen bottle within easy reach. Superb. All the angry, daft, inconsiderate, mysoginistic, xenophobic, greedy and ridiculous characters we see in everyday life are captured here. Excellent family entertainment that you can view in the company of your grandparents (for example) without the uneasy feeling that possibly something embarrassing could spoil things for someone. Mister "Everything comes from India" is another insight into an unshakable belief in one's own heritage and culture of at least fifty years ago: except this time it's nothing to do with Imperialism...more to do with political and cultural short- sightedness. If you like the Two Ronnies and Fawlty Towers then you'll in all probability really enjoy this. Just remember one thing...it's all a bit of fun, really.Read full review
