- TriviaSix episodes of this sitcom were made, but due to an angry reaction to the perceived racist content of the show, the series was pulled after one episode and the remaining five were never shown. (A previous series, Curry & Chips (1969), also starring Spike Milligan and with a similar premise, was shown in full.)
Featured review
No wonder this never went out.
A Pakistani Father and son arrive in The UK illegally, posing as Dutchmen, namely Mr Van Gogh and Mr Rembrandt, the pair find the lodgings, and try to integrate into British society.
I hate to be the one to bring home a reality check, but there's a reason this pile of garbage wasn't transmitted, it's abysmal, once you look past the obvious prejudice and racism, you are left with something that's painfully unfunny.
I adore Spike Milligan and his madcap brand of humour, but this was possibly his worst effort, it makes Curry and Chips look good.
It's noticeable that Burt Kwouk vanishes from the series, and who can blame him, a role he probably thought would damage his future career, nobody would wish to he tarnished with this show.
John Bluthal, Frank Carson and several other well known faces, but they're all wasted here, none of them can string a laugh together.
I'm not someone that's easily offended, but after ensuring seven episodes, I honestly just came away thinking I'd wasted the best part of three hours.
3/10.
