SUMMARY:Riverside Studios at 50: Goodness Gracious Me in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:A landmark reunion at the place where it all began. Goodness Gracious Me in Conversation brings together the original stars of one of British television’s most celebrated and culturally significant comedy shows\, at Riverside Studios\, Hammersmith\, on Sunday 26 April 2026 at 5pm. \nNina Wadia\, Sanjeev Bhaskar OBE and Kulvinder Ghir are joined by BBC commissioner and producer Jon Plowman CBE — whose credits include Smith & Jones\, French & Saunders\, and Absolutely Fabulous — to look back on the creation\, production\, and enduring cultural impact of their now-legendary series. \nThe story of Goodness Gracious Me began right here at Riverside Studios in 1995\, when it premiered as a live show called Peter Sellers is Dead.

The event is part of Riverside Studios’ 50th anniversary season celebrating the extraordinary talent that has found a home at the venue since 1976. \nEvery ticket purchased supports Riverside Studios’ continued mission to champion emerging artists and make the arts accessible to all. \nWhen: Sunday 26 April 2026\, 5:00pm–6:30pm (approx.)\nWhere: Riverside Studios\, 101 Queen Caroline Street\, Hammersmith\, London W6 9BN\nTickets: Available at riversidestudios.co.uk
