Mind Your Language is a British sitcom broadcast on ITV. Created and written by Vince Powell, and directed by Stuart Allen, three series were produced by London Weekend Television between 1977 and 1979, and it was briefly revived in 1985 (or 1986 in most ITV regions) with six of the original cast members. Jeremy Brown, a language teacher, tries to make a living by teaching English to immigrants. With pupils from India, France, China, and many other countries, his lessons do not always go as planned.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
ITV briefly revived the show in 1985 despite Barry Evans' declining health; the original's global success (especially in India and Nigeria) made it one of Britain's most exported sitcoms.
The show was famously cancelled for being 'racist' in 1979, then paradoxically revived BECAUSE of its overseas popularity—70s television logic at its finest.
