I had the chance to say something to him during christmas back in 93 or 94 in belfast after i walked past him, but Im autistic and was too shy at 10 years old to say anything.
Oh my god yes, the Sutherlands were my favourite and from 99 to 04 was when I remembered getting into it I was still only little as I was born in 95 but every morning at 9am on southern cross they would stream the early years and on a sick day I would sit in front of the old fat back telly and watch the episode with my bowl of frootloops but the Sutherland’s was where I really started to get into the show I wanna see more of the episodes from 00 to 05 I wanna watch the episode where Ailsa dies because I can’t find the full episode anywhere, and the 99 landslide that had Kirsty trapped near Alf’s I think and the Mirgini disaster and Kane Kirsty and Shelly get stranded on the island and Kane gets bitten by a snake trying to save Shelly and oh my god Martin Dingle Wall the original Dr Flynn Saunders then they fucked up and changed him to Joel Mcilroy and then after Flynn was killed off We find out Joel was an alcoholic and would blow up on set I can’t be the only one who remembers Hayley and Brodie’s car crash in little piggy or whatever the buggy was called correct me if I’m wrong oh and the final episode of 04 when Seb and Jade leave after the car crash cliff plunge because of Duncan oh my god they were some of the best years and Sarah Lewis the Summer Bay stalker and then a year after her death and Eve turns up out for revenge for her Sarah
Oh, the memories. I watched H&A from around 1992 to 2000. The first half of that period was peak H&A for me, and Alf was such a big part of it. For some reason "Don't you come the raw prawn with me!" became a bit of a catchphrase among my friends at the time. Pre-internet, but back then H&A was so big in the UK that everyone knew where it came from. :D
Hahahah, in hindsight he sounds exactly like my old boy when I was growing up in the 80-90's. He grew up as a farm boy ,dirt poor in the 50-60's. Hated him as a kid but absolutely love him now, true blue to the core and straight as an arrow. Very community minded. Strike me pink!!!! Ray is a dead set living Aussie legend.
I remember back in 1995 Alf roaring at Irene in the store he owned practically waking the dead and bringing the roof when out of nowhere behind him at the shop doorway Marilyn softly advises him in her silvery spoken tone "Oh Mr. Stewart dont forget your blood pressure...........!" to which he turns around in shock and surprise
If only I had listened. I thought Morag was a perfectly reasonable name in those days. It didn’t occur to me that it might have had sinister intent. If only I had paid attention to all the names - I didn’t realise they reflected personality or character. I thought people were deeper than that. They may be nom de plumes but I didn’t know. And morag is just the worst name imaginable for a woman. And…no wonder because she was a lawyer! All the pieces of the puzzle are coming together at last. Lawyers are among the most corrupt of all the professions, and only marginally topped by Psychiatrists..
@@SummerBayJournal yes Alf could really lose his head very easily when he was provoked. However, when you get to know the character of Alf you realise that deep down he is a very nice bloke and if there was a rescue or an accident in the bay, Alf would be the first one out there to help out. Ray did a great job on playing him and still Does.
Can't say I watched Home & Away, but for some reason I knew of Alf's " flaming galah " expression, its no internet thing either, U.K in the 1980's there was no internet, didn't arrive until circa 1995. Ray Meagher aka Alf Stewart is a soap box legend born 4th July 1944 he's 76 now & still acting.
Wish there was a way to watch all the really old episodes. Can watch about 1786 of them online, but after that it's impossible to find them. I'm watching now and uploading clips that are funny or cool. =D Thanks for your videos! Though I can't watch much from 1995 onward, it's good to get some highlights!
Home And Away is popular or was popular in the UK, I don't watch it anymore though. As a kid growing up Alf was always me favourite. Maybe because he was real, didn't sugarcoat anything and let out his anger rather than suppress it. His one liners, rants and the non stop flaming were epic, I used to get goose bumps watching him go mentalist lol
Stone the crows. Looks like Alf held up this show for years with his riskay acting. I think we’ve all had a bit Alf in our life to put us on the straight and narrow. He goes into character so so well. I often wonder what sort of up bringing he had. I’m sure he has a book out there..
Love a good Alf rant- sadly after Alisa was killed off they seemed to become much more of a rare sight. pity because Alf vs Irene at times (with Alisa as a mediator) was beyond funny
Legendary, you even got the 'cheap lush' line he smashed Irene with when he caught Sarah playing stink finger with her crim son and Ailsa's; 'I'm at more rags (please I'm bleeding to death)'and even a couple of his 'flamin' gutfuls' too as well as his rant after Shane and Damo bukkaked him. Hilarious compilation.
I've been looking for that scene where he loses it after having a brain tumor thinking that his wife Ailsa is still alive in 2002. As part of it, he lets out a big "Shut Up!" I'd really like to see it again.
Isn't Ray Meagher brilliant?
Ray Meagher is a true Aussie icon :)
I love the channel name change
He's flamin' great.
Love the end clip 😂
You flaming gallah
Massive respect to the persons who took the time to put all this together, Alf is a legend 🤣👌
I had the chance to say something to him during christmas back in 93 or 94 in belfast after i walked past him, but Im autistic and was too shy at 10 years old to say anything.
"You pair of flamin' galahs!!" 😂
You cahooning Sheila! You flaming yahoo! Etc 😂
He's definitely the kind of guy you'd want to prank, and then get caught just to see him totally lose it.
Haha so true
Prime prank call potential lmao
Brilliant I am crying, Alf is a comedy legend 😄 🤣 😂
Ray Meagher is such a brilliant actor and Alf Stewart is such an iconic Home & Away character :)
The home and away legend
His pissed off face should be on the Australian five dollar note.
Yes and or even a stamp 😅
Nah on the hunjie with Dr Harry.
Monash and Melba wouldn't mind.
Bunking off school in the 80s watching H&A, Alf was in it then, day off work today, switched on the TV, he's still in it.. Bloody brilliant actor.
Man just needs a spliff, cup of tea and a hug lol
Gives "stone the flaming crows" a new meaning.
Alf's to displined for spliff
@@DCI-Frank-Burnsidemaybe that’s what he’s on about??….in secret code 😂😂😂😂
@DCI-Frank-Burnside I'm sure you were a DI in the Bill, glad to see you're getting on in life, the Met needs you back 😂
Ray Meagher is the king of home and away in my opinion he is the best character in the whole series, it will never be the same if he leaves.
I think he is the only original cast member of Home & Away now 🙂
@@LeaCollingwoodMagpies irine leah roo John and maraliyn are still there
When he passes away you mean.
He is the heart of Home and Away and by extension the very essence of SummerBay itself ❤
Kids today will never know.... 😂 Every kid in the 80/90s had an uncle just like Alf 😂😂😂
Did they really?
It’s so funny seeing them all in a row. Such a character . Great actor and character
A lovely six minutes worth of Alf in a good mood.
I never get sick of this always funny 🤣😂😆
Alf is so unapologetically Australian.......i love it 😂😂😂
"The boy's on a downhill slide."
"AND SO WILL YOU BE"
😅😭😅😭😅 What a comeback lol
the best one!
Wish they kept it going, where Alf drops him!!
In real life the actor who played Don Fisher is now 87 and still alive and retired. Ray Meagher (pron Marr) is 81 and still plays Alf.
Such a wonderful, hospitable man.
I needed a flamin' good laugh!
Absolutely fantastic acting, nobody could pull off all of these rants as good as Ray 😁👍🏻
"Now, you listen to me, you little piece of carpet fluff." 🤣
😂😂😂
This was brilliant, thank you. Alf calling Irene a cheap lush was hilarious!
Alf Stewart as Aussie as they come and The King of Summer Bay ❤️
He's more of a Queenslander than he is an Aussie
Met Ray a few years ago. Couldn’t have been any nicer.
One clip in and i am already loving this!
The world needs Alf more than ever
Absolute brilliant. He’s like an Aussie Victor Meldrew. One of the best TV characters ever 😄😄
Who???
Don't embarrass yourself@@mikespearwood3914
From UK 90s TV 📺 show
One Foot In The Grave
Played By Scottish Actor
Richard Wilson
I was just thinking that while watching this, or Victor on crack.
Home and away was the most popular show in Ireland during the ninties and 2000’s

It sure was! The whole family used to sit down at half 6 to watch it on Network 2 every week day 🤣
Marilyn is so young there she’s 18

Very community minded.
Strike me pink!!!! Ray is a dead set living Aussie legend.
Well said the old skool can't beat it just sincere straight talking no woke fluff
0:58
I’d like to know how much Ray (Alf) had to rehearse the “carpet fluff” Scene with out laughing
I’m pretty sure he wrote such lines himself. Think I read that somewhere. Still be tough to hold in the laugh though 😂
That's one guy I would love to meet, I genuinely think he is legend and my friends think so too.
Same .me n my friends think he's a character .
I absolutely love Alf on Home and Away Ray is a absolutely Legend of character
He gave a good rant in the caravan park in recent years - kicked some protesters off. I can’t remember what it was about, but it was prime Alf Stewart
I remember back in 1995 Alf roaring at Irene in the store he owned practically waking the dead and bringing the roof when out of nowhere behind him at the shop doorway Marilyn softly advises him in her silvery spoken tone "Oh Mr. Stewart dont forget your blood pressure...........!" to which he turns around in shock and surprise
Yes that was her return episode in 1995, the clip is on this channel 😁 big surprise at the time (unless you saw her in the opening credits first!)
Ray Meagher and his character are both true blue Aussie. Firm and assertive, yet fair, and honest.and a gentleman at heart.
The start where Kate Ritchie and Ben Unwin are laughing is my favorite!
Alf was just a star over the years
Don Fisher and Alf Stewart two flamin brilliant characters.
"Morag doesn't fix stress, she causes it, You Galah!"
My hero. The man I aspire to be.

Alf was like the Sheriff💪👮🕵️ of
Of Summer Bay ready to
Lay down the law and kick arse when needed ✊🌠
Legendary Alf!!
As I've gotten older I realise I'm becoming like Alf haha and I'm only 35 😂
Haha this was good I don’t watch home and away these days But this brings back memories of Alfs angry tirades Lmdao 😂
Alf is a legend, honorary scot 🏴❤️
This takes me back!
Alf Stewart is a Legend!
Seen a new side to Alf I never seen before. He is has such a temper and gets very angry easy.
This was his character back when he had a character.

Flamin' carpet fluff stained my flamin' strides.
Carpet fluff is my favourite insult 😂
@@SummerBayJournal i remember as a kid having a winning lmao just with a random thing Alf said so I'm very happy to watch this. Thank you
Little piece of carpet fluff !
Now that's what you call a proper insult 😂👍
If there is a part 2 of this video, should include the ‘you’re going to feel the leather of my belt’ scene with Duncan.
😂😂😂 Alf is a bloody legend.

1988
In the uk it was neighbours vs home and away
YA FLAMIN MONGREL !
This young generation couldn’t handle the heat from Alf I’m sure of it. They’d need a safe space after one flame job 🔥
I think every young generation was like that, hence this whole video going back to the 80s 😂
Lol this is a good one. U should make one of how he is caring to everyone in the bay and also when he does the search parties
Ray is Brilliant.
Yeah that was hilarious ....Just gotta love the very last one PMSLOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I've had a gut full of this"😂 he reminds me of my pop, but Alf's more highly strung
"Sorry I'm late" "Yeah so you outghta be" Hahahahaha. Alf you legend!
2:23 BEST INSULT EVER!
Met the legend at Oliver's pies Avalon, lovely bloke

Completely agree with every word of that! Hope you enjoy other h&a vids on the channel!
@@SummerBayJournal thank you!! Top notch!!
Alf iz national treasure
Some of these are wild 💀
Alf is class

Flamin Flamin Flamin Alf’s favourite word.

Is Alf the hardest in summer bay ? 👊🏻
Legendary.. 🤣🤣🤣
1:17 Looks like good ol' Fletch The Letch has dropped in to visit Geoff Butler.
Vinnie playing hard to get 😂
So you found the dungeon then!?
Love a good Alf rant- sadly after Alisa was killed off they seemed to become much more of a rare sight. pity because Alf vs Irene at times (with Alisa as a mediator) was beyond funny
Agreed. Alf was made much more background when the show lost Ailsa. And he and Irene didn't interact as much either.
This is fuckin' awesome!🤣🤣😁😁
*flamin* awesome!
Love Alf - he's got absolutely no chill, my favourite was 2:27 😂
Legendary, you even got the 'cheap lush' line he smashed Irene with when he caught Sarah playing stink finger with her crim son and Ailsa's; 'I'm at more rags (please I'm bleeding to death)'and even a couple of his 'flamin' gutfuls' too as well as his rant after Shane and Damo bukkaked him.

You missed the one when he told Roo he'd bite her face.
30 flamins that's awesome
I can't flamin believe you counted them that's flamin bonza.
3:12 even Alf's phone voice is imposing 😅
Home & away was class in the 90's.
I blacked out and pretty sure I woke up with poo under me finger nails…”Who’s poo was it?”…”Why don’t you come here and find out!”
das uber
You cost me a pretty sweet f’ing time in Cambodia! Bets off!
Alf used to rant so much, but since Ailsa died, it's kinda rare to see it
Alf is like a cuddly teddybear really , bark is worse than his bite
Flaming gallar
Alf seems like he's staggered in from that other Aussie classic Wake in Fright.
To me Alf Stewart Will always be a bad ass comedy legend
Stone the flaming crows I've started using that lol 😂
Craven!
An Alf Stewart video and not one mention of a galah?
Absolute legend 😅
Alf Stewart is the best actor ever in sosp opera and I come from England
Stone the flaming crows alfs bathrobe is awesome
Haha!
The King of Australia!
