It would be so satisfying if British-Indian comic actors like Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar appeared on this show playing family or siblings of Raj. They were in a long-running sketch show "Goodness Gracious Me" about the trials and absudities of being Asian in Britain. GGM has screened on BBC America and possibly other channels in the USA, so America has been exposed to British-Indian humour. (The format has also been adapted for US TV, using Far Eastern ethnicities such as Korean and Japanese-American, who have the same cultural resonances that being Indian or Pakistani do in Britain). Sanjeev Bhaskar popping up playing Raj's infinitely more sucessful older brother, perhaps, or Meera Syal as a dotty aunt. Comedy gold.
