Mind Your Language: The Best Of (Box Set) [DVD]

This is one of the funniest series ever commited to video. I remembered watching this as a kid and seeing my dad collapse off his seat with laughter. I decided to buy the series on dvd for my dad as a Christmas present, but I was tempted to watch an episode. Oh deary me! The jokes come thick and fast, they are politically incorrect, incorrect, rude, but, you know what, it's how I remember what life was like at that time. There were people like Ali (the best character in the series) everywhere, these weren't stereotypes -it was partly a reflection on life. That was why it was and is so achingly funny. I'm asian, and I don't find anything to take offence in Mind Your Language, in fact I think the people who the series was parodying find it the funniest. For the record I bought my dad a clock for christmas, i kept the dvds, mind you he can borrow them, but only one at a time.(PS the episodes are great if you have people over who never seen or even heard about 'Mind Your Own Language", it will really kill them, people beg me to borrow them).(PPS Thanks Amazon)

Love it. So un-PC

One of The Best British Comedies of All Time. It is very funny although it was made in the 80s.Never been bored of watching it.

Brilliant

What can I say, comedy at its best just about sums up this fantastic box set. Every programme a winner - the characters and the storylines 10 out of 10. If you like nostalgic comedy then this is for you.

Could not have been a better way of learning English with so much laughter.Truly the greatest comedians of all times!

Mind your language is the best ever comedy series I ever seen on TV. There is humour in every single word and couldn't stop laughing from begining to the end. I have watched the series over and over again and never get fed up. Recently I met Albert Moses ( Ranjeet Singh) on a lunch and had a good laugh too. It is a shame the series was banned in the UK on a racial issue but being an asian myself this is just a comedy nothing to do with racism. I highly recommend to watch the whole series and UK has still not produced a comedy series better than this.

One of the strangest comedy's from UK......watching it 20 years on still gives me a huge laugh.....Ali and Taro were one of the many characters that made one laugh to such an extent that one has tears rulling down ones eyesGuess you wouldn't be able to play this now

classic....

Als ich in Indien lebte gab es diese Sendung wöchentlich und wir saßen pünktlich mit den Kindern vor dem Fernseher

Very fair price , quick and efficient service .

Excellent series, well worth watching again. Or indeed for the first time. Subtitles would have helped from time to time.
