Mind Your Language was a politically incorrect Brit Com that ran for four series, three on London

Weekend Television between 1977 and 1979 and one on Granada in 1986. The show was about a
hapless class of students learning English as a foreign language. It has been much criticized for its
xenophobic outlook and heavy use of ethnic stereotypes, but at the time it was appreciated that
the show gave actors of colour a bigger presence on TV. Hilariously, it was outsourced abroad to
great acclaim. To this day it is still re-run on Comedy Central in India and elsewhere.

Despite drawing audiences of 18 million, the series had its plug pulled by then-LWT Director of
Programmes Michael Grade in 1979 in response to complaints about the use of ethnic stereotypes,
but it was revived in 1986 for a fourth series of 13 episodes

The series was adapted in many countries
