We had a West Indian family living next door to us when I was growing up. They religiously watched Alf for the fun of laughing at him and throwing their own abuse at the TV. A lovely family who took this show for what it was - comedy!
Miss comedy like this,...freedom of expression and written and acted with a real warmth and realism .that's sadly lacking in the bland talent less offerings we get on our boxes today.....miss those wonderful days
Alf Garnett was raising social issues back in the day, the difference being they done it with humour rather than the gloom and doom of today's miserable lot
I was 17 when this was first show, remember this one. Sickness and in Health was the revival of the show Till death us do part (which I grew up with), and interestingly enough it was supposed to have been called Till death again or something like that can't remember now, but long suffering wife who was played by Dandy Nichols was suffering reallly badly with arthritis as she was in her eighties by then (hense why she's seen in the wheelchair later) so they decided to make it part of the show, which is why it ended up being called In sickness and in health. :D Sadly Nichols died in 86...
Dandy Nichols was very unwell during this series, she was almost 20 years old than Warren & she read her lines off cards that's why she keeps looking around..
Hate to say this, but that was how she played the character in Till Death.. she didn't have any issues with remembering her lines. Her memory was pin sharp until the end as Warren Mitchell once said on Des O'conner when asked about her after her death..

How can it be racist when all races were abusive to each other, which made it what it is/was GREAT 👍 certainly not like real life in London today with all the gangs knives and shootings going on then complaining when the law comes along 🤔

Not racism not sexism just good old-fashioned comedy with no interference from the snowflakes of today

Dude this show is full of racism and sexism wtf are you smoking? And before you say anything no I'm not a snowflake
God bless you Dandy Nicholls! You have all my sympathy for putting up with Alf for all those years! Hahaha!
Ghandi wouldn't eat his dinner and they gave him bloody India... Genius.!!!
Mega love alf garnett he's a total legend 😊👍
Find me funnier, more original comedy than this! What would your pc generation make of this?
A great show loved it when it came out and still do
Eamon walker, is a fantastic actor he was amazing in this series as Winston and in One foot in The Algarve.
he's even better in OZ
I remember that Eamon was in The Bill aswell
Also great in The Bill as
PC Malcolm Haynes
@@neils8548 I remember him.in the bill
@@teresasmith7391 He was definitely good in The Bill but I liked him best in In Sickness and in Health 😊
Sense of humour at its best

Rip Warren Mitchel used to watch him on the telly with my grandad when he was alive half the jokes sayings I never understood untill I was older
Back in the day when everyone laughed at the humour and didn't take things seriously, Love thy Neighbour was another classic example.
The NF took it seriously and forced other to also.
Even if she was quite ill as in real life she was.she still could deliver the lines and the laughs.what troopers she was up to end.
Hilarious! This is proper comedy it's funny

Good to see that Aldershot great Arthur English again :-)
Comedy.before was better than now eh
Gave everyone the chance to see these horrendous views for for what they were and laugh at them ,brilliant
Sadly, they wouldn't show this nowawdays, it would have the PC crowd foaming at the mouth
not at all, alf is a parody of people like you
@@SleutherStrode I think you proved her point.
PC crowd are a bunch of tarts!
The PC crowd wrote it... They were mocking people like Alf.
Still BRILLIANT in 2019
Still Brilliant 2021
2022 here, watching again.
4 EVER
Poor old Dandy. You can see how ill see is, and is reading her part off the boards RIP xxxx
I often wonder why Warren Mitchell was cast as Alf, considering he was nearly 20 younger than Dandy Nichols
@@Matt571 But he wasn't bad in the role, was he? One of those actors who could comfortably play characters older than himself.
@@MrJonno85 exactly,,,he's only sixty years old here.
Hilarious!😂😂😂
bring back alf to national television
Bring back Alf. ?they would not dare
@@davidedwards5006It's on That'sTV at 10.00pm every night.
This is old school no harm intent just fun bring it all back no racism just a laugh
Alf was portrayed as a bigoted racist to laugh at and ridicule. The actor was a Jewish man, and in real life not a racist

What a load of rubbish
Not true at all. A lot of people died in WW2 so we had a labour shortage. The west Indian immigrants were brought over to cover the loss.
thank u, classic comedy
Its very unlikely this will make main stream TV again not very PC which is a shame as it very very funny and a lot of people will miss a legend in comedy
Charles and Diana on the wall for some reason that made me piss myself
He was a royalist loved her majesty the Queen Charles and Di were still married when they made this
