A more diverse view of society was offered by series like "Porridge", a comedy about prison life, and "Rising Damp", set in a lodging house inhabited by two students, a lonely spinster and a lecherous landlord. Taking a softer approach to race than "Till Death Us Do Part", ITV's "Mind Your Language" (1977–79) represented several foreign nations personified as English language students attending an evening class. Despite LWT ending the show after its third series in objection to the undeniable stereotyping, "Mind Your Language" did later return for a fourth series in the 1980s.
