Review of 'Mind Your Language' (an English comedy from the mid 70s)

At the moment, I'm quite into the old BBC comedies. Why? Because its good, clever, and 'clean.' The clean aspect of this is that my family doesn't tolerate foul language and things like that. Yes, the title 'Mind Your Language' might sound to be an exception. But it isn't. Its not about some foul mouthed bloke. Instead, its about an English language school in the mid 70s. Around when people of all tongues were coming to England for work and a better life. A bit like New Zealand is now.

The main funnies in this show are that the students often miss-hear the teacher's instructions. And there a jokes in it too. One of such goes like this: "Oh my wife's an angel." "You're lucky, mine is still living!"                  Episode 1 season 1 Part 1 ( Top ) Episode 2 season 1 part 2 (Bottom)

  1. These are really good - I like the personable tone you have written them in. There are a few spelling errors; proof read and edit them (you can do this by clicking on the pencil icon at the bottom of the post when you are logged in and viewing your blog). I'll check back to see how you go.
