Goodness Gracious Me

Nothing escaped the eye of the satirical eye of Britain's phenomenally successful all-Asian sketch show Goodness Gracious Me.

The complete BBC Radio series 1-3 preceded the award-winning BBC TV series that ran in the late 1990s, and features the same cast.

Prepare for your heart to pound in the Indian recreation of Brief Encounter, sing along to the profound words of wisdom with Fifty Ways to Leave your Mother, and enjoy pop classics such as 'Hindi People' and 'Punjabi Girl'.

Along with the discovery that The Royal Family are actually Indian, there are a ton of characters to enjoy- the Guru, Smeeta Smitten, the Coopers, Mrs I-Can-Make-it-at-Home and Mr Everything-Comes-from-India.

If you don't like your comedy to be really, really bland (like a good English) then Goodness Gracious Me is the satirical series for you.

Reviews

Suspicious Minds is the prequel story that fans have been waiting for.

—— Kirkus Reviews

A pacey, creepy book that does what any good prequel should: enhance the story it precedes… this is unmistakably Stranger Things... packs an emotional punch

—— SFX Magazine

The novel’s set-up is sublime! Fans of the show will no doubt enjoy it – I certainly did.

—— Den of Geek

You’re left hungry for more, but in the best way possible, as the book manages the balancing act between interconnected prequel and standalone story.

—— Cinelinx

Guaranteed to satisfy your craving for new Hawkins material even better than a box of Eggos.

—— The Mary Sue

Highly recommended for those readers interested in expanding their knowledge of the Stranger Things’ universe, this book is also a dark and captivating story that will stick in the readers’ minds even if they are not fans of the franchise.

—— The Unseen Library

8/10. A very good read

—— Starburst

This is a puzzle Gwenda Bond solves with elegance and wit.
