This is Classic Doordarshan - Exclusive
I learnt about the show info from my folks when I talked to them about the no of shows that were being aired on Doordarshan and how they felt about it compared to today's Programs. Not too sure about the Year and timings they used to air on DD but have heard it was at late night and whenever I listened to MYL title credits felt lil nostalgic. I was too small to understand about these early 80s Shows, even Hum Log or Yeh jo hai zindagi for that matter I kinda dont remember anything but i have this feeling that I might recall somethings related to the Characters of the show once I start watching them, a strange feeling isn't it. Mind your language was a great sitcom pretty funny, later on in late 90s on DD metro or some other channel probably, they did a similar show in hindi which was called "zabhan sambhal ke" Pankaj kapoor was the teacher like Mr Brown here in this British comedy sitcom.
About the show availability online, just a couple of days or months ago on youtube somebody had uploaded all the episodes but due to Copyright infringements they have deleted all the episodes. Now again some clips are available here. Apart from that you can always watch some of the funny scenes from the show here in this blog. Enjoy!
Here's more info on the British Comedy sitcom:Mind Your Language is a British comedy television series, that premiered on ITV in late 1977. Produced by LWT and directed by Stuart Allen, it is set in a school for adult students in London, focusing on the English as a Foreign Language class taught by Mr. Jeremy Brown, portrayed by Barry Evans, who had to deal with a motley crew of foreigners. Three series were made by LWT between 1977-79, and the show was briefly revived in 1986 with some of the original cast.
The series focuses on the adult students of the English as a Foreign Language class in a London school. The classes take place in the early evening, and are taught by Mr. Brown, though on occasion other individuals take over the class if he is not available. The class consists of foreigners with varying degrees of English proficiency. The humour of the show is derived from the students misunderstanding English words or terms, and plays up to the cultural stereotype of their individual nation of origin.
