Mind Your Language: The Best Of - Volume 3

This series went out of favour very quickly, since it offered stereotypes of 'foreign' language students and these were not viewed as acceptable in the political climate. I think this is a fair statement, since the humour (once you discount the stereotyping) is innocent and good-natured. For EFL and ESL teachers the series is extremely funny, helping them to laugh at situations that aren't always funny when they occur in the classroom (e.g. widely varying levels of proficiency).I recommend this series as a good laugh. Of course there are sub-texts, and the teacher himself (and the manager) are also the subject of parody. If we see it as well-intentioned, then this will bring a smile to most people.

A hilarius tv show that would never be aloud on today. It's really just harmless fun, but ppl get upset so easily these days.

Great

The humour was fantastic! Love it.

Fast delivery, very funny CD.

i used to watch this series as a kid in the 80s and its great that its at last on dvd , but its a shame that with this, and the other volumes that there are not more episodes on this volume as with the others 3-4 which are bare bones really as it was mentioned, it should have been a two disk set with at least 15 episodes ....in any case ,its good to see mind your language again after all these years and i love the animated opening sequence even though its dated now

Not to be taken too seriously and some would find this offensive but as a family we find the characters funny and my young children find it funny even for today

It's official the British are definitely the masters of television comedy! The 1970's was the most prolific,abundant and fruitful decade for British Television comedies without a doubt and "Mind Your Language" proves it wholeheartedly."Mind Your Language" is truly one of the funniest comedies created. Politically incorrect or not. It has all the right ingredients to make it what it is - A Classic! To not laugh at least once every 10 seconds you would have to be either, a) had your lips glued together, b) be totally deaf or, c) been sucking lemons all night.Coming from New Zealand this DVD has been a long time coming and one had to endure a long and patient wait for its much anticipated arrival. The DVD is SUPER! albeit for one or two issues. Firstly why could'nt the creators of the DVD's had found it in their infinite wisdom to include more episodes on each DVD rather than a paltry 4 or 3 episodes, tsk' tsk', most unfortunate I must say. Secondly why could there not have been a mini-documentary developed of sorts involving the cast and crew concerning how the comedy came about and it's ins' and outs', etc or an audio commentary if the budget was tight. Other than that everything is pretty much as you would expect it to be. Here's hopeing they create Volumes 5, 6,...All in all, it is a superb watch for old and young alike and am very proud to have it on the top shelf of my DVD collection with the rest of my classics, and so should you!
