[QUOTE="Shooms, post: 655401, member: 36"] Shame ! [url=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fr3Ar7Ivzqw]YouTube - Mind Your Language intro[/url] Classic telly ! From Da Wiki Mind Your Language was a British comedy television series originally shown on ITV, between 1977 and 1979. Produced by LWT and directed by Stuart Allen, it was set in a language school in London, with Barry Evans (June 18, 1943 - February 11, 1997) as the embattled night school English language teacher for a motley crew of assorted foreigners. The series was known for its crude representation of national stereotypes: the German woman was dour and humourless; the French woman was sexy and flirtatious; the Swedish woman was liberated and straightforwardly sex-mad; the Chinese woman a rampant Maoist; while the Sikh and Pakistani men were often on the brink of war, and the Spaniard, the Greek and the Italian were macho. Much of the humour also stemmed from the trouble the students had with the English language, their contrived speech patterns and the students' bizarre mispronunciations of English. More recently the show was criticised for unimaginative racism, but in its day the show was popular with people of many backgrounds because of its light-hearted take on multiculturalism and because it gave some otherwise unrepresented minorities a television presence, albeit represented as caricatures.
