Cultural differences without prejudice, bullying and humiliation make things so funny and beautiful. This is something this new generation hardly understands. Everyone who's interested in different cultures love this show. ❤😂
I love how he always says "ah so" when he's answering a question, but he says it so quickly it sounds like he's saying "aso", which is tagalog for dog, lol
As someone who used to teach English as a Foreign Language to many different nationalities, this really rings true. It's a lovely comedy without being unkind or nasty - I'm sure other countries could do a comedy on us Brits and our poor grasp of foreign languages, too!
Dear 2008giles You are very perceptive and insightful. I know this to be a fact as I have spoken many times with the actress Francoise Pascal. She once wrote to me about the conceptual basis for the show and the airing of the episodes. She said that the show was conceived based on the fact that it was incredibly difficult for both teachers and foreign students in teaching/learning to speak English. It was not about being judgemental but rather a soft take on a group of individuals from across the globe being able to come together like a family despite their backgrounds. I feel this very evident watching replays of the show and I think it a huge pity that masses of people can only find discrimination or racism in the script. Those people have no capacity to understand nuance and that realise the stories are similar to a family - as with every family harmless conflict breaks out and then everyone become close again. Maybe some people (not all) would be better off trying to like/love others rather than take any opportunity they can to take offence. Surely the former are better human attributes than the latter. At the very least at least try to see warmth, harmon and forgiveness where it exists or is shown.
It's hilarious the way most nationalities misunderstand English idioms. For example, 'biting the bullet' would probably confuse a non-native speaker who hadn't heard it before. Or 'biting the dust'. THey'd usually take those literally.

Shaun Ghishing I remember watching this when I was 7 in 1977 with my Nigerian parents and my three siblings in balham south west London. This comedy is the funniest thing I have ever seen. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 We made the best comedies then. Love from the UK ♥️🙏👍
Shaun Ghishing Yes 44 years ago is a very long time ago. It is very sad that most of the cast have passed away. How time flies I was at Henry Cavendish primary school in balham south west London in 1977.
I remember when I was 4 years old and I stand on front of tv and like to hear when audience laughs 😂😂 I knew there must be something very funny it use to be nice days family’s and friends no like this day if u want to chat or to see someone u go to wats app people were more happier and social. Believe me when I saw it in TH-cam my heart start pumping I remembered everything I miss those days.
This is fun because it is offensive. The director shut it down eventually bc he felt it got too racist. The stereotypes are incredibly racist! But it's funny. If people today were all in on the joke that a show is going to have a lot of racist stereotypes in a comedic way, with everyone today understand ding that we aren't actually racist, then it would've been great today too.
Love this show I never tire of watching it still..."cow juice" is so funny... I love the episode when Mr Brown has a cold n they all visit him at home ...Hilarious !!
@@vincentproductions8963 I don't know, I like them both almost equally. But Seinfeld wins the #1 spot because it has more episodes. But again, the quality is incredibly level for both sitcoms
I remember reruns of this show from the 90's when I was a child. I was always delighted to catch it by chance. A lot of it went over my head but it was always very playful and silly which I loved. Now I'm in my late 30's and most of the jokes are a bit childish, but I can't help but feel sad since I feel like I'm seeing old friends again, yet this is just a show and many of them are dead or soon to be.
it doesn't matter that the jokes are childish, that's part of the point and the fun, the clash of personalities and cartoonish acting and innocent humour, now we have jaded existential crap posing as comedy with tons of love triangles to try and make storylines, instead of cute creative ideas like this had
Yes I understand, it's meant to be all silly and playful, but some jokes were very childish at times and are hard to appreciate as an adult. It's still a lovely wholesome innocent show and the fact that it's historic as well, being produced in another time and world basically, makes it all the more worth treasuring. I think the best thing about it was how happy everyone was and no-one was supposed to be "the man" (or woman) like modern shows.
@@gavinlynas2833nothing childish about it. You come across as very patronising. These were students trying to learn English..... Today the British don't make any comedy worth watching, it is full of swearing and insults. There was a time when the British exported their shows all over the world.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Yes childish as in trying to a little too hard to be silly at times, as an adult might do with a child in order to get a laugh. If thats you thing then enjoy but dont expect me to. Im a little too old to be giggling at every little joke. Looking back I appreciate the uniqueness, innocence, and light-heartedness of it compared to darker modern stuff.
I just read up on Barry Evan's death. The actor who played the teacher. It looks like a murder but whoever's killed him tried to make it out like it was a suicide.
He might have been killed unplanned, probably had an argument with whoever he was drinking with and it ended up with a blow to his head. Sadly he lived alone so there were no witnesses. His last few years were tough, he drove a taxi and was broke and was probably an alcholic.
I am a Gen Z and I appreciate and enjoy their humor. Just unfortunate that this kind of joke will be cancelled today. Everyone is offended by everything.

Well said. Only when we can laugh at ourselves and all humans will we have the ability for true unification. PC/Woke people think that being offended and getting angry is the answer. That is an answer I do not accept. The humour of this show was about the warmth among characters through the acceptance of each as individuals and regardless of their nationalities. The warmth that developed throughout the series was actually very sweet and a joy to watch. What a pity some are unable to see the greater good. There is too much preciousness about which if one thinks about it can be an almost narcissistic tendency as it is all about the individual for the individual.
😆😂🤣I used to love this show it was hilarious they played those roles so good, was very sad to hear Barry Evans passed so young he was a great actor in the Dr at large series too
I find that rewatching some of the carry on notably Cleo and Doctor can still raise an occasional chuckle. Others such as Reginald Perrin and Rising Damp are still mildly entertaining, even George and Mildred are okay if I have nothing better to watch. Perhaps it was the confined set of the classroom in Language which make re runs seem tedious.@@virupakshawalla5734
