Diversity of ethnic humour...

This show was set around a group of immigrants to Great Britain in an English as a second language class. It is a pretty funny show for it's time, although perhaps there a people today who would think it is full of too many ethnic stereotypes. Well it does a lot of playing on that for sure, but it allowed a large cross-section of the community (including native British) to laugh at themselves. Many of the faces will be familiar to fans of British comedy from other shows such as Barry Evans from the Doctor series as the teacher and Dino Shafeek from It Ain't Half Hot Mum. The interaction between his Indian character and the Pakistani student provide some of the funniest and somewhat topical moments. Also there are some great moments with Joan Sanderson as the college principal. You may remember her as the annoying Mrs Richards in an episode of Fawtly Towers.
I am sure this should be added to my DVD to get list.
