Once upon a time there was a radio comedy show that was adapted for TV. It was written and performed by a group of Asian actors (in the UK, Asian means Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi, not Chinese or Japanese).
It was brilliant on radio, and it translated to TV exceptionally well.
The sketch "Going for and English" is a twist on the drunken Friday night groups of English people who "Go for an Indian". They over order, mix-and-match odd dishes because they don't know any better, and the most macho men order the spiciest thing on the menu. Someone unadventurous asks for an English dish . They mispronounce everything, and often entertain one another by doing a moonie over the table. The food usually gives them the runs the next day.
So enjoy it all turned on its head to great comic effect.
Good thing it's not a group of English performing the sketch about an 'Indian' or they'd probably be arrested for inciting racial hatred by the fanatically anally retentive bunch of tossers who seem to run this country ;0)

ReplyDeleteThanks for finding this for us val.
OH! I meant to tell you, the fortunate name of 'Ann Dowd' on your screencap the other day, was in an episode of the Mothership on C5 last night! Her name was nowhere near as 'interestingly placed' tho!
