My Take
I rate Sanjeev Bhaskar as someone who used comedy to quietly dismantle barriers. Through Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars at No. 42, he brought British Asian and immigrant life into the mainstream with humour that was warm rather than defensive. Yet he can pivot to the gravity of a series like Unforgotten and deliver real emotional depth, which marks him as far more than a sketch performer. Writer, composer, presenter, actor, and an OBE on top, he embodies a generous kind of versatility. To me he represents the rare talent who can make you laugh while gently reshaping how a country sees itself.
