Great classic comedy - Mind Your Language: The Best Of: Vol.1 review by PV
This show is much maligned by the PC mafia - they accuse it of terrible racism and it has actually been banned by the BBC!
But it's not at all racist - and, unlike Hardeep et al at the BBC, it's actually funny!
It is comedy based on cariacature - of foreign people AND an Englishman who teaches them. Its comedy is warm and fond and the intention is not racist at all.
The BBC stormtroopers however have decided it's a racist show so must be destroyed!
Give me this rather than any PC ethnic comedy from now - Jocelyn, Amos, Koli - all tripe compared to 1970s classics like Mind Your Lnaguage!
