Entry in the Favourite TV Shows theme on BudgetPixel.
Mind your language was the first sitcom that I followed on my local TV network. It follows English teacher Jeremy Brown as he teaches a lively, multicultural night class of adult students from different countries, each bringing their own personalities, customs and language difficulties into the classroom. As a young adult, I loved how it was a simple-to-understand and accessible comedy that was also quite relatable to the struggles of trying to master the language at that time. The show is nearly half a century old now, and while some jokes and cultural stereotypes may feel dated today, the lively ensemble and affectionate sense of comic disorder (that I find missing in the modern day entertainment) are what draw me back to YouTube to rewatch random episodes from time to time. If you have never seen the show before, you can catch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bXl7Rr1plE

Sure, in the picture he looks like a young Fry, but from what I saw later, the series came out earlier, so it couldn't be Fry.

No, if you are referring to the man in the 2nd row, he is Tommy Godfrey a British actor. He does look a little like Stephen Fry.

I've never seen them, is that Stephen Fry?
