5.0 out of 5 stars Magical nostalgia, 20 Dec 2004
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)

5.0 out of 5 stars comedy in its purest form, 20 Nov 2005
this classic sitcom has sadly been crucified by the politically correct brigade (the evil empire of the late 20th century). but it is surely comedy in its purest form, only the purists find it offensive. not to themselves, but people of other cultures. yet people of other cultures find this funny, why? because it IS funny - period. we must be able to laugh at everything that makes us different, not feel inferior, or indeed superior. we all all human with different ways of approaching the same solution. there is nothing offensive or racist here. some of the characters and indeed comedy is inspired. in a word - timeless.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best British Sitcom ever shown in Kenya, 5 Feb 2004
By A Customer
The series was run twice on Kenyan National Tv, in 1980 and a repeat in 1988. I remember it was a 'must watch' and even once got a favourable mention from our then President Daniel Arap Moi. Apparently he was a fan too. The phrase...a thousand apologies... became popular as a result of the series. I had it on video tape (recorded from the TV transmissions) but the quality of picture and sound became poor over time.

I stumbled on the DVD set by pure chance when, out of curiosity, I did a search on Google.com Now that I have the DVD set I'm enjoying the very hilarious series all over again. I highly recommend it for anyone who is seeking comic relief.
