*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This episode of the controversial sitcom Mind your Language was very funny.

Jamilla has been arrested for shop lifting. She has been seeing things on labels like, "buy one get one free" and just taking notice of the free bit. When she is arrested for stealing a magazine that said free on it. The policeman lets her go but when Jeremy goes to Jamilla's flat, he notices a lot of items are in her house what she thought was free, so Jeremy and all his students have to return them. They get caught and all are back in the Police station.

It was funny at the Police Station, when the Policeman was trying to ask the students there name: PO:(To Ali) What is your name, ALI: No PO: Pardon ALI: What is not my name, PO: (To Anna) What is his name ANNA: Nein, PO: Right then, Mr Nine. ANNA: No, nine's not his name, PO: Then what is his name, ANNA: What is not his name and neither's nine.

It was predictable as ever, but funny.

Best Bit: The dialogue in paragraph 3
