I don't know if it will ever be repeated on tv again, but if you have a dvd player I'd advise you to get the ultimate goodness gracious dvd from hmv(or other store which is retailed at only 20 pounds.
It contains all 3 series, plus the christmas special and the India special as well as a few other extras(outtakes, interviews etc)
I just purchased it today, and it's certainly worth the money.

Yes. It's worth the money. I have all the series. Shame they don't make it anymore.

Well I remember Sanjeev Bhasker on The Paul O'Grady Show, and he said that he'd love to do another series of Goodness Gracious Me. Did you know, that it was the BBC that stopped them from doing another series? DAMN THEM!!!

reply

Yeah, The BBC like to squash anything popular.

Especially if it flips the bird at the PC lifestyle. Hooray for esoteric culture injokes!

I got a feel it was cancelled when they did the sketch in the church. I'm a christian and found it very funny, but it could be deemed offensive and probably upset some people in "high places". Who knows how the BBC works, but they do seem to enjoy cutting off various noses to spite their many faces.

The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

It was in direct shot at the Catholic church that caused people to get bugs up their arses about it.

reply

I don't agree that it was a "shot" at the Catholic church, mainly because it was a Church of England church, with a vicar, not a priest and the C of E give out wine at comminion, not Catholics (or they didn't the last time I went to church!). Also, because it wasn't done spitefully and was as much of a jibe at Asians trying very badly to adopt English culture while getting it hopelessly wrong, than it was at the Church. It was all in the realms of fantasy anyway, because who goes to church with a jar of mango chutney in their pocket?

All the same, I think the world's gone OVERBOARD on this political correctness crap.

reply

Me too! It is smothering creativity, comedy and entertainment. Pretty soon it will be illegal to laugh at anything!

The way things are it's just about legal to breath, burp or fart in public!

uk gold hav been showin it quite a few times, so i'd look out on there.

Its on Paramount Comedy late at night.

reply

yes paramount comedy at about 1130, then repeated again at 130 in the morning, i doubt they wouldv cancelled due to the church sketch, simply because producers off the bbc wouldv told them before hand whether or not the sketch was appropriate or not

reply

sum repeats come on paramount!

reply

I watched it on BBC Four just now, it was on at 10pm, I think they do it every tuesday night.

reply

It came back for a Reunion special.

Its that man again!!
