''Mind Your Language'' is a British comedy television series that premiered on ITV in late 1977. Produced by London Weekend Television and directed by Stuart Allen, the show is set in an adult education college in London and focuses 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 foreign students. Three series were made by LWT between 1977–79, and the show was briefly revived in 1986 with six of the original cast. ==Production== The Series was commissioned by Michael Grade, LWT Director of Programmes in 1977.〔Rowena Mason ("Michael Grade at ITV: it seemed like a good idea at the time", ) ''Daily Telegraph'', 23 April 2009.〕 Although the series was attracting some 18 million viewers, the programme was cancelled in 1981 by Grade, who considered the stereotyping offensive. The series was sold to other countries, including Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and Singapore. It was also one of the first British TV programmes shown in South Africa after the end of the boycott by the British Actors' Equity Association. It was resurrected briefly for the export market by an independent producer in the mid-1980s, though most ITV companies did not show any of the episodes made in 1986, only Anglia, Central and Granada transmitted the final 13 episodes, while Border, HTV and Tyne Tees broadcast a handful of episodes. Various international television shows based on the premise of ''Mind Your Language'' have followed the original series. Among them are ''What a Country!'' (US), ''Zabaan Sambhalke'' (India and Pakistan), ''Second Chance!'' (Nigeria), ''Jami'ar Albarkawa'' (In Hausa language, Nigeria), ''Raja Kaduwa!'' (Sri Lanka) and ''Classmates'' (Kenya).
