GUEST,JM '5000 Morris Dancers' (803* d) RE: '5000 Morris Dancers' 11 Sep 08

I've searched the internet in vein for any clips of The Kapoor family from 'Goodness Gracious Me', but they are described on Wikipedia as-

"The Coopers (Kapoors) and Robinsons (Rabindaraths) - Two snobbish nouveau riche couples who claim to be entirely English with no Indian blood whatsoever, but often give themselves away by using each other's real names, mispronouncing words or silly mistakes such as serving guests some lemonade with sliced courgettes in it."

The main thrust of the sketch was always the Kapoors insisting that they were more English than the Rabindaraths because they played cricket and took communion in church every Sunday, or because they were bad at complaining and had 'stiff upper lips' (literally in one sketch.

Sound familiar?
