Curry & ChipsBased on an idea by Spike Milligan and written by Johnny Speight, Curry and Chips (ITV, 1969) is very much a product of its day. The sight of Spike Milligan, blacked up, and sporting a ludicrous Pakistani accent, would today doubtless have provoked an even greater outcry than it did at the time. Nevertheless his comic creation, the half-Pakistani, half-Irish Kevin O'Grady, aka Paki Paddy, does at least frequently display superior intellect to his bigoted white co-workers.
