The scene in the pub - beautiful satire - 15 minutes shot in one take - fine writing - Alf unusually on the sidelines - superb ensemble playing from everyone - stream of consciousness - reductio ad absurdum - a tour de force . . .
I bought the DVD set for 'Till death us do part' . The show before this one. The set says on the case that it did not cover all episodes because they were lost or copied over. Amazing.
not sure if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last days =)
Now this is tv!! This is comedy gold! Put this on the telly now , not the rubbish we have on. I know we have political correctness and racist comments but if we all take it how it was meant back then it’s blooming fab telly and all our grandparents were ya King and living like this!
This is comedy at its best it’s sad Dandy was ill but she put up such bravery in these episodes a brilliant cast and actors may the actors who have passed away rest in peace
Jonnie Spiets scripts were well written but Warren Mitchell who played Alf Garnett was superb. He knew how to play Alf to a T. Brilliant situation comedy and fantastic acting.
I'm watching this in august 2024 where in the UK there is now mass censorship , tyranical government and comedy is a thing of the past..But for now im transported back to the good old days watching Warren Mitchell at his best ❤ xx
@@esseker6320- well , Warren Mitchell was a great guy and right as you say not the least bit racist or chauvinist right winger , but it's a sad truth that plenty of nowadays Labour 'supporters' are just that , 'real-life' Alf Garnetts , and daft to boot !!! ( - and me , a bleedin' Goiman leading a Fleet-street strike at my 26 young years , 1970 , against IPC ... ))) Thanks to those half-wits we 'achieved' the Glory of Brexit and whatevver werry 'shpechial relayshunship(s)' with whom-so-body ??? God knows - i doubt the Queen does
The PC SJWs are too offended by him. They say he's racist which the charater is but most of the jokes / laughs at his expense. Loved watching this . Always made me laugh.
R He only died a couple of years ago - he always acted older than he actually was. Warren Mitchell was only a few years older than Una Stubbs who played his daughter in this program 😮
This was when we could laugh at ourselves. It was the time of the old jokes an Englishman an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The English guy would be a Toff, the Irish guy would be thick and the Scotsman would be tight with money. All characterises of each of them. No one complained about bigotry attitudes it was just a laugh. Nowadays you get arrested for hurting someone's feelings.
pokeaman I will not be replaced Well, actually back then some people WERE concerned about bigotry, including Johnny Speight, who created and wrote the Alf Garnet programs. Then, as now, many bigoted or racist people said how great it was to have a character like Alf on TV, totally missing the point that Speight was making, which was that the Garnet character was a piss take of people like THEM. And it seems that some people continue to miss that point......
@simonmoore2380 we don't miss the point, we are stating that even tho it's just a case of take the michael out of racists and bigots however these days you can't take the michael out of anybody in case you get labled a racist you get persecuted for stereotyping people even if it's all in fun, it's just wrong these days just plain wrong.
Ome of the many best from decades long gone. I used to watch this religiously as a young child and now in mid life it shows the great social divide here in England
Too bloody funny that is for sure. Puts American comedy to shame. I live in America all of my life but have been watching British comedy r since the sixties, because it is so much funnier.
Americans, you need to watch One Foot in the grave which came onto British screens in the early 1990s. Victor Meldrew is the name of the main character and was the 90s version of Alf Garnett
I couldn't stop laughing, we don't need the PC brigade. Just have great comedy characters like Alf and just let them talk. Then people will really understand what being bigoted is. So very funny. Dandy, what a lovely lady, a true professional even though she wasn't well. Some of the best moments was because of Else. Ken Campbell, a brilliant entertainer, I wonder how many people know he was considered for the part of Doctor Who back in the eighties, around the time this series was filmed. But BBC bosses felt he came over to scary for children. So the role eventually went to Sylvester McCoy.
I was born in the mud 70s and loved watching this sitcom aswell as many other English comedies. Comedies back then and earlier showed a number of prejudices and many social and political divides through the country and nation
What a Brilliant show, as was till death do us part . Great actors and actresses, many thanks to the BBC for facilitating the production and transmission of these great comedies, rest in peace Alf
The guy playing the irrate neighbour was Roger in the Fawlty Towers episode The Anniversary which funnily enough also featured Una Stubbs though she doesnt appear here even though shes in the series.
I would. None of us know when we're gonna go, you don't necessarily have to be old either. Always best to be prepared and have something in place. I have my funeral plan arranged with the Co Op even though I'm 50.
We ought to have all these old comedies from decades back retelevised on national tv. Times have turned back, back into torie corruptive ruling and shows like this are more current than to the other rubbish they have aired now in this millennium.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
Johnny Speight would still be highlighting the bigots who have passed on their bigotry to their kids. He'd still have a big audience to take the piss out of.
This is real British comedy, that continues to entertain.ta to you tube , for continuing to provide the episodes. Well done You Tube
The scene in the pub - beautiful satire - 15 minutes shot in one take - fine writing - Alf unusually on the sidelines - superb ensemble playing from everyone - stream of consciousness - reductio ad absurdum - a tour de force . . .
Nothing can hold a candle to British comedy
Nah, the Germans have the best comedy.
Just viewed this TV Programme, my what a refressing comedy , British Humour at its very best ; clearly its what we want now on our TV
Ken Campbell. Brilliant as Mr Johnson. Classic British comedy from our time growing up in the 80's.
He was the driver in episode 1 whose car Alf kept blocking with the wheelchair!
I gave him a lift to a course we were both doing. He was great fun and outspoken!
Hilarious! This is proper comedy it's funny 😂😂
I bought the DVD set for 'Till death us do part' . The show before this one. The set says on the case that it did not cover all episodes because they were lost or copied over. Amazing.
Thanks for the laughs Warren certain actors never die. You will always love on in our hearts rip Alf 😅☘️🍿
Warren Mitchell died in 2015 at the age of 89. R.I.P. Warren, and thank you for all the laughs.
@@willydoer8730 - Unfortunately you’re right....what an appalling lot they are.
Loved his acting very much have bought alf a scotch or 2

@Richard Mathew yup, I've been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)
Hilarious scenes in the pub! Thanks for the laughs.
A wonder the barman didn’t tell Alf to pot a sock in it
Love the Johnson's,Ken Campbell's expressions are funny and his behaviour,what a larf 😂
I like Arthur's logic.

Dandy nichols comedy gold 🥇
I see resemblance in her to Jean Stapleton...
Absolutely spot on
Her timing is impeccable,her delivery is smooth and the looks she gives Warren Mitchell is priceless
Plenty of insults was Alf to Elsie
Brilliant episode...writing's hilarious.
Brilliant and hilarious, this is real comedy, Alf says what we are all thinking.
You do realise that Warren Mitchell didn't have a racists bone in his body don't you, plus he was a staunch Labour supporter.
@@esseker6320- well , Warren Mitchell was a great guy and right as you say not the least bit racist or chauvinist right winger , but it's a sad truth that plenty of nowadays Labour 'supporters' are just that , 'real-life' Alf Garnetts , and daft to boot !!!

God knows - i doubt the Queen does
He was mates with Jimmy Saville too but let's forget about that 😅
@@HaramXL old Jimmy conned most people in his lifetime, sad to say.
Alf Garnett was absolutely brilliant , pity he's not still on the telly 😂😂
The PC SJWs are too offended by him.
They say he's racist which the charater is but most of the jokes / laughs at his expense.
Loved watching this . Always made me laugh.
Imagine what he'd say about Britain today!
He must be about 90 by now
R He only died a couple of years ago - he always acted older than he actually was.
Warren Mitchell was only a few years older than Una Stubbs who played his daughter in this program 😮
Well bung the pacemaker in speed her up a bit 😂😂😂
This is helping me survive lockdown
Absolutely brilliant comedy
Brilliant absolutely brilliant 😂
This is Gold............He calling Liverpool in the UK and the man is panicking like its an Overseas call hahahahahahahaha
Scotty,, phone calls cost a fortune back then.
You do realise the further away the call the more you get charged right? It's not a flat rate.
Loved all the Warren Mitchell programs/shows - "Till death us do part" - "In sickness and in health" not forgetting "The thoughts of chairman Alf"

Good old Alf Garnett always poke his mind.
Once Dandy went and they brought in Alfie Bass and Patricia Hayes, the show went down hill.
This was when we could laugh at ourselves. It was the time of the old jokes an Englishman an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The English guy would be a Toff, the Irish guy would be thick and the Scotsman would be tight with money. All characterises of each of them.

@@simonmoore2380 We laughed at him not with him
Yes indeed but Sadly, as we al know, the *Packed Faced Left* came along and destroyed humour & criminalised it!

The graveyard funeral gag by Alf was funny.
what can I say, just classic.
Ome of the many best from decades long gone. I used to watch this religiously as a young child and now in mid life it shows the great social divide here in England
Amazing stuff- like watching a play, such good dialogue and nostalgia within nostalgia... sort of.
This is proper comedy! It's funny
Dumbed down to suit Mary Whitehouse it was
@@jacksugden8190 no surprises there then
Soooo funny, in my opinion. Wing mirrors and a horn on the wheelchair 🤣
Fred’s absolutely fuming 😂
Could not stop laughing that was funny as anything he's just funny for stop
that wig on his head couldn't stop laughing this programme is Hilarious.
He looked like one of the Marks Brothers
Dandie Nichols Warren Mitchell class act ❤
Warren Mitchell, a genius
😅 He was mates with Jimmy Saville too but let's forget about that 😅
Love this good British comedy 👏
It was the only Alf that was allowed on our new TV. My dad said it's educational. X
A great man
❤❤❤❤❤❤
“When they brought in decimalisation in Liverpool they had to raise the school leaving age to 35” 🤣
Eloquent comedy satire from a age that has passed on!
Just a quick mention for the incredibly talented Ken Campbell playing the part of the grumpy neighbour. Shame he's no longer with us.
@Joseph Preston yeah spot on
Was the sarcastic one in the Fawlty Towers wedding party episode.
I always remember Ken Campbell as the crazy Gin and Tonic man in Fawlty Towers Anniversary episode! Una Stubbs was in that one too!
Womberto Biaggi yes he was brilliant but not appreciate enough mak cdf
was ken a ventriloquist
Brilliant.
This is classic TV even in 2018😂
Even moreso during these dark times under Torie rule once again.
And in 2021
The closest comedy next to this-One Foot In The Grave, with Richard Wilson, just as funny.😂
TERRIFIC!!! Just as good as the early 70s ones.
Too bloody funny that is for sure. Puts American comedy to shame. I live in America all of my life but have been watching British comedy r since the sixties, because it is so much funnier.
Which is why they steal their material ❗
@Kim Smith Quite so....however, the forerunner to this was 'Till Death Us Do Part', which ran between 1966 and 1975. Just saying.......
You must be a closet Brit 😅 x
That comes from me a born Brit here in England.
Americans, you need to watch One Foot in the grave which came onto British screens in the early 1990s.
Victor Meldrew is the name of the main character and was the 90s version of Alf Garnett
Poor Dandy did well,she had to read from board's on set,Bless her.😢

Looks like the set of eastenders definitely queen Vic vibes on that pub lol
With them things sticking up .
Ears😂😂😂
I prefer Til'Death better than In Sickness cos Else/Dandy Nicol's is in them, I really miss them all God Bless them.x
these to clicked really well together the good old days
OH u mean, these two...😏
this should be replayed on tv not just because it's comedy gold but to piss of the wet liberal brigade.
Refreshing antidote to the grey, woke po-faced world we have to live in now.
🤔 ?
No other country, has a better sense of humour than the British,😂🤣😂
maybe then before the lgbtq+ offended fun police took over.comedy now has to be approved by gays,transformers and rich white gender neutral teens
Sadly the new British generation are stuck on there phones,an are drug addicts or wanna be American black gangsters at the age of 13
Britain isn't a country and I'm english not British
@@andrewjoyce9038 same here well said any immigrant can be british.

Genius.
Wonder what he would have thought about all these people with mobile phones. A different day when having a phone was a luxury.
He would be slandering and slaying the ruddy gadgets
I remember back in the 60’s we had no ☎️, if we had a mobile phone. Then what …
Alf Garnett was a genius..not like the filth on tv today, rest in peace
What a Brilliant show, as was till death do us part . Great actors and actresses, many thanks to the BBC for facilitating the production and transmission of these great comedies, rest in peace Alf

I wonder what Alf Garnet would say about Britain now in 2019
Naffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff offfffffffffffffffffff,that's what he would say 😯😬😲😟😲😵😫😤💩😀
mastermind
Why wouldn't it be important ?
Johnny Speight would still be highlighting the bigots who have passed on their bigotry to their kids. He'd still have a big audience to take the piss out of.
He'd b turnin in his fuckin grave at the cesspit Britain has become!!
He'd be cursing the ruddy toffin' Tories, the ruddy crooks and thieving tossers that they are!
British comedy

Comedy stopped when Ben Elton started.
And Ben Elton also wrote the Blackadder series.

When we first got the phone put in if we wanted to use the phone Mum made sure we paid for the call.=)
Is that Mrs. Fox, in the pub with Alf's future housemate? They look like sisters for sure!
Yeah Pamela cub dell was her name👍🏻
From dads army that mrs fox
That’s the actor that was in the Blue Carbuncle with Jeremy Brett. He was James Horner I believe. A good character actor
She loves you... ya ...ya ...ya
Norman Lear got Maude from here too. Wow. I'm beginning to think no American sitcom was an original idea!
LMFAO TV Gold 😁
great series.did the woman in the pub have alf's wig on lol.x
Compare this gem to Mrs browns boys ,how far down the Nick has it gone
you have to laugh at alf as wannen mitcell the bit that makes me laugh is wen he takes the piss out marrygold
It's Warren Mitchell who plays the character of Alf.
picture of life
Sure does look alot like the street set of Eastenders and most likely is.
mention Irene Handl.. who would appear in the show playing a character not long after
Very funny
I found out that,if you've got a hip or knee replacement they crematoria staff/manager sells them off for scrap for charity.
good old days in pub before smoking ban
Alf's friend never greets his friend's wife.
The fith Beatle!
Looking for the war film with alf ,but cant find it
