| Description: | His owlish wisdom led our historic,He is an intelligent, get your hand off my gearstick" – might just as well have been written by the scriptwriter for Are You Being Served?There were small moments of originality but sadly these were just flashes (the British convert Dave; the Somali man whose accent Mr Khan couldn't understand – "what's he saying"); and the odd topical joke – after watching News at Ten Mr Khan proudly announced: "Pakistan was mentioned seven times… two in a good way"The characters – Mr Khan his long-suffering wife his favourite daughter who donned a headscarf every time he came in the room but was secretly a party girl and his other daughter who was preparing for her Big Fat Asian wedding – were such clichés that they may as well have been dragged out of the same dusty costume cupboard as the hat How far has this come since Goodness Gracious Me Not far at all How much more contemporary is it than East Is East or Bend It Like Beckham Less so How much funnier Same answ |
