Kiss my chuddies, man, Goodness Gracious Me is 20! And to celebrate this ground shaking, award taking and mould breaking show BBC Two is looking back at some the funniest and most loved moments as we reveal the ten most memorable sketches - decided by comedy fans on a supporting BBC website. We 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.
