Goodness Gracious Me team plotting comeback

"We’d like to bring our brand of humour back but in a different format," say UK sitcom team.

Well here’s a show I haven’t written about in years…

The UK sitcom team behind Goodness Gracious Me are planning a comeback, but in a new comedy project.

Meera Syal says she is working on material with Kulvinder Ghir, Nina Wadia and her husband Sanjeev Bhaskar.

“We don’t want to redo something for the sake of it, but we’re discussing something,” she told the new issue of Radio Times. “We’d like to bring our brand of humour back but in a different format.

“We have to be confident we’ve got the material and I think we have. We’re gathering it. That could well happen.”

Syal also complained that the representation of Indian people on British TV has moved backwards, and fails to reflect contemporary life. “It’s a conservative climate with lots of period pieces and lots of nostalgia,” she said.

Goodness Gracious Me ran from from 1998 to 2001.
