Mind Your Language

This week, I chanced upon one of my favorite shows on DVD - the classic 70s British TV comedy Mind Your Language. Laughed for 3 days straight. I watched it as a little kid in the 80s, and still recall many of the characters' lines.

The show's completely politically incorrect which makes it very appealing. Honest.
Audiences from the stereotyped characters' countries find MYL hilarious. No reports of any offense taken.
The title soundtrack is unforgettable.
Reports are MYL will never be aired again in reruns, as it will raise the hackles of the PC set.

'Chinese are peasanto. Japanese not fascisto.'
'Oh blimey!'
'I cannot mally Ari'
'Oh dearie me' -' You can say that again' - 'Oh dearie me!'
'Fly from Africa to here? Like on a big iron bird. Vrrroom!'

A complete laugh riot.
