Curry and Chips
British television sitcom
Curry and Chips is a British television sitcom broadcast in 1969 which was produced by London Weekend Television for the ITV network.
Set on a factory floor of 'Lillicrap Ltd', it starred a browned up Spike Milligan as an Irishman of Pakistani heritage named Kevin O'Grady, who also featured in episode 7 of the fifth series of Speight's Till Death Us Do Part. It also featured Eric Sykes as the foreman, Norman Rossington as the shop steward; other regulars were Kenny Lynch, and Sam Kydd. The series was written by Till Death Us Do Part writer Johnny Speight, but based on an idea by Milligan.[1] The programme was cancelled for what some (including the ITA) considered racist humour.
It was the first LWT sitcom to be broadcast in its entirety in colour,[2] and all episodes still exist.[3]
