Goodness Gracious Me! takes its name, with the irony which is a hallmark of the show, from Peter Sellers' cod-Indian novelty hit of 1960.
The provocative title originally suggested was, in fact, Peter Sellers Is Dead: this was the name under which the first manifestation of the show was pulled together by producer Anil Gupta, in the unusual form of a live performance organised as a kind of 'pitch' to an audience including TV commissioners.
The television version, also titled Goodness Gracious Me! and produced by Anil Gupta, aired on BBC2 between the second and third radio series; a second series, drawing heavily on radio's Series Three, went out late in 1998, and a third in 2000.

 Peter Sellers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was an incredibly versatile artist: an excellent dancer, a drummer good enough to tour with several jazz bands, and a skilful player of the ukulele and banjo (family legend has it that Seller's father actually taught George Formby to play the ukulele).
This was briefly parodied in a fleeting cameo in the short film Simon Simon, which was directed by his friend Graham Stark.
It was also mentioned in the The Goon Show episode 'The Space Age', where Harry Secombe introduces Sellers with the comment: "Good Heavens, it's Peter Sellers, who has just broken his own record of keeping a car for more than a month".
