- [2008] When I started, it was Joe Public sitting at home being entertained by professionals. Now it's out-of-work professionals sitting at home being entertained by Joe Public!
- None of the Indian people I've met found the show offensive though. They loved the fact we used Urdu. I'd get asked, 'When are you bringing our show back?' Look at what the BBC went on to do - shows like Little Britain. Gay jokes and Matt Lucas playing a black woman. I was also in the '70s sitcom Love Thy Neighbour, and I agree the language used by both characters in THAT series is unacceptable today. But I wish they'd show IAHHM again.
- And the outpouring of affection for Windsor shows what nostalgia there is for IAHHM. So I thought surely the BBC could re-run it now, even just one episode as a tribute. They could bleep out the 'bunch of poofs' lines if they had to. But no. It's deemed politically incorrect - even though it's about a British Army concert party in India in World War II when Sergeant Majors all spoke like that. It's so ridiculous.
