Having enjoyed previous British-Asian comedies such as Goodness Gracious Me & The Kumars, I expected something of a similar calibre when recommended this show by an acquaintance.
It's only offensive in that it just plays to stereotypes rather than parodies them in a humorous way. As many others have said, this is 70's era material without any of the quality.
The toilet humour, bad accents and "calamity" based material obviously appeals to the lowest common denominator. It's the only explanation for this having more than one series.
I managed 3 episodes before I deleted it from my viewing history.
