Classic from a vintage golden era of British Comedy, through the 60s and 70s we had Till Death, Steptoe & Son, Porridge, Dads Army, Rising Damp, One the Buses , Good Life etc.. We were spoilt with 2 decades of great writing, great actors, and brilliant humor, pity today's telly weren't half as good as these quality humorous comedy gems.
Thumbs up those that remember sitting around a table at breakfast,and a good old rant before off to work. Then come home after work,and a good old rant eating your tea.
God bless Warren Mitchell.He will be missed by my generation definitely .Many people didn't get the irony of Alf Garnett but most did.When his motorcycle would only turn left and Alf had to get to West Ham will live with me forever.Hilarious.RIP Warren.
It brings tears to my eyes to think that we used to live a freer life back then. And yes we were having trouble with terrorist bomb attacks on our cities, strikes and other bad things but we seemed happier. We could laugh at ourselves and others without people taking offence. Kids didn't commit suicide because of exam results or because they were unsure of their gender. PC has made this an alien world - alien to common sense!
Absolutely. The added irony that the BBC who produced this show and so much comedic brilliance over the years is now at the forefront of this blitzkrieg of PC and fast disappearing up it's own arse. Nothing the BBC produces is funny any more. Artistic license utterly suffocated by it's own "mustn't say that" rulebook.
I was going to say 'bellend' but... i understand what drives you. Nostalgia is a terrible thing. Yeah we had the freedom to be racist and stuff.. but no internet. Its swings and roundabouts mate.Shit changes.
Yes it's almost as if lgbt people were happier when they were forced to stay in the closet /s Just because you didn't hear about it doesnt mean it didnt happen.
@Russian Métropolitan Alf more or less made people laugh at racism and Racist people and not laugh with them, for me it was funny, and iam Irish, he used to mention the Irish alot in his rants , but you could see the funny side of it without getting all pc, alf exposed the idiotic way of racist thinking and made people laugh at it
@@rusrus29 I agree it was brilliance, because Alf could make people laugh at how ridiculous the Racist mind is, that's before we went all pc, alf done more to attack racism than any group out there, and that comes from an Irishman
I'm American and am disappointed at our tv. They have completely ran out of ideas for new shows so that is why they are doing all these old show movie remakes. Most the old ones they stole from Great Britain. No one knows comedy like them, there great.
I agree UK terrible at comedy now like Chris Evans doing a vvv poor impersonation of clarkson on top gear,horrible celebrity reality???? TV boring and safe.
that's mostly safe Hollywood garbage.. We're talking about comedy. Don't get me wrong America has some good comedy, but the British sitcom started it and cannot be imitated. Yeah I like American comedy of course, but it's a different league and relies more on gimmicks. UK comedy is still good today (in some cases) but caters to a wider audience of people who like catchphrases and gimmicks..
I thought Archie Bunker and Edit+meat head and the blonde daughter were' 'pretty good''i was very sad when Carole O'Connor died. I grew up with both TV shows living in New Zealand as a young male and I felt a kindred feeling with the two versions of the same theme. Thise were the days was a wonderful TV time for me as were many US TV shows as well as any English comedies=Hattie Jakes and Eric Sykes, the 2 Ronnies, Morcomb and Wise, Dave Allen, The Dick Emery Show, Benny Hill Show, oh my god there were so many, but US TV was extremely good in those days and I saw all of the great ones. Allas Smith and Jones, Not The nine o clock news, there were very many TV shows from both nations, such funny shows, they can be seen here now or gotten out on disc. All in the family was very funny, well until its makers became too self censoring, it's just so pc and hard to believe Archie and Edit would be caring for a small Jewish girl??The Jefferson's,I remember the Jefferson's were a black US family and the young teenage male was very funny. Yes that was fun and the TV show with the black couple living next door to the white couple in London was funny in a sarcastic way. And the show with, yes and the Benson show in US was good too, I liked Mrs Krowse and WK in Cincinnati was on earlier in the day when I got home from school. A good British TV show was ''IT ant half hot mum'' maid by the same team who made Dads Army. There are so many great TV shows from USA and Britain really. I don't think that many were rip offs of British TV just a few and those ones done ok and actually I THINK all IN THE FAMILY WAS A SLIGHT IMPROVEMNET ON till DEATH,WELL THATS MY OPINION ANYWAY....
+All Our Yesterdays Thank you. Some misunderstanding here. The "PC" that I refer to is "Politically Correct" ie. the removal of any material of a risque nature or of possible offence to any section of society. Other examples of Brit. TV programmes include Benny Hill and Spike Milligan that major TV companies wouldn't show now.
+Morrigan “warhelm” Ravenchild I'm glad that the PC brigade have forced us to watch Citizen Khan and Jasper Carrott's wonderful All About Me about a multicultural family with a disabled child. My only criticism of modern comedy is that women don't wear the full niqab and speak Arabic.
If this programme was shown now, Alf would be speaking on behalf of 75% of the white population of Britain & it would top the viewing ratings every time it came on
liam whitcombe Sadly yes. Although, thankfully it's not 75% lol more like 30%. -_- still too damn high. What a disgusting country this has become since them days, aye?!
+liam whitcombe And THAT is exactly why they stopped, because THEY didn't like that people didn't understand the comedy! People have no idea what irony and satire is anymore, it's pathetic.
They wouldn't understand that it was intended as a parody of a lazy, ignorant, bigoted white English man. Alf would be a hero to the Farage-worshipping class.
Poor old Alf we will get our great empire back sadly we won’t county has fallen apart Torres labour they’re all pocket lining greedy look after yourself peguines RIP warren
You can be a Brexiteer and love Alf or you can be a Guardian reader and hate him, but at least this family back then talked, argued and laughed with one another. Today all half the sodding population do is stare at their wretched smartphones or laptops !!
8:56 - The BBC canteen at Television Centre did their duty here with pie, mash, bread and butter - all real, and all eatable on that table, but probably half cold by the time they filmed this scene. I remember the chips at Television Centre, were fantastic in my opinion, and so was their coffee.
I'm on the left and have never had a problem with TV like this. Well written,clever,timeless and memorable. Loved his use of the "Rise like lions" that Corbyn quoted. The PC lot DO know Warren Mitchell was a Jewish socialist in real life_ don't they? 🤔
I am the same as you Peter, I am a centre left man in my politics, but I love Till Death and Alf, just great comedy which everyone should enjoy in 2019.
Just wanted to point out, that on 13:55min, you can see the many studio lights reflection on the tea pot on the dining table. Im sad for mentioning this, i know. Also wanted to say that, this was a great show, so was Till death Us do part. Classic comedy. RIP MR Warren Mitchell and Ms Una Stubbs and Co....this show is as good as"Only Fools and Horses".
I was born & raised in the UK in 1961. This was one of my mother's favorite TV shows and I would watch it with her. I am now an American citizen living in California for about thirty four years and employed by a School District. Watching the first few minutes of this episode after all those years I was shocked at the language and attitude of Alf Garnett. It is a funny show in a nostalgic sense, however I'm not edorsing it. btw "Randy Scouse Git" was the name of a single by The Monkees. The name of the single was changed by the record company to "Alternate Title" because "Randy Scouse Git" wss deemed inappropriate. Thank you for reading this comment 😎
Can you remember laughing so much at a modern middle class sitcom , now it has to be politically correct comedy actors who are just not funny, we are now being told what to watch instead of asking us I mean we are only the viewers this is the reason youtube is so popular.
TDDUP, Rising Damp, Love Thy Neighbor, Steptoe and Son, Benny Hill, those were the days ......when British sitcoms could write what they like and not have to worry about PC. Sneaky move, the British govt, not allowing reruns and syndication. I was in the UK in the late 80's and never saw old UK sitcoms.
Good to see Johnny Speight chatting to and standing next to Alf on the terraces. Alf being the recognisable older generation, still valid, still exists.
Yeah, it became increasingly obvious as i continued to watch. Both were well-written episodes with extremely talented casts. GREAT chemistry and direction. I've just discovered brit-coms within the last year and there are alot of great ones-On the Buses, Bless Me Father, Father Ted, and a few others. Thanx for the reply.
All the comments saying all you get to watch on tv now is rubbish, well that's why they make it, because you keep watching it! Vote by turning it off or over. As a consumer you should be determining what gets put to air, not the other way around. It's why we have big brother and other reality crap, because they churn it out and we soak it up. Blame yourselves.
Bobbzie B. Perhaps he refers to the “gentlemen” who groomed and raped the young girls in Rotherham? Or the ones who did the same in more cities in the UK than they let on?
Tony Tango I never said that. What has been different though, is how long it took the police to investigate it in the first place because they were too scared of being called racist by the politically correct.
which episode is it where alfs wife says Mary coudlnt find an inn to give birth to jesus because it was Christmas...Then Alf says'you silly moo, they didnt have christmas then, Jesus wasnt even born yet!'' that ws really funny. was thinking of it as its the christmas season now...
Probably the biggest joke was that W.Mitchell was Jewish. Alf, apart from being an obvious bigot , points out , throughout the show, a number of disadvantages of socialism, too and these observations turned out to be almost prophetical. The authors of the show displayed good political insight based on common sense rather than on blind inclines toward left or right.
Warren Mitchell was a socialist, as was Johnny Speight, the writer. His right wing attitudes are ironic. It's a critique of tory rule for the most part.
Olivia Johnson I was about to write that,thank you, as if,if you had these views you could write them as comedy???? It would come off like Nazism, it takes an ironic satirical view to make this work but morons obviously think the writers were completely right wing or something,fuckin idiots!
@@danw1374 Things all changed with the newspin dryers too. Used to have to go out to the wash room and help rolling the wet washing through the mangle. Never seemed as bad as carpet cleaning with the carpet over a washing line and me beating with a carpet beater. You could get 4 black jacks for a penny if you could get a penny that is and a shebert fountain for thruppence.
Alf was a real comedian no one can even get close to him today .
Thank God.
I had actually forgotten just how funny this show was. BRILLIANTLY funny!! Wouldn't even get made today. Ah! The good old days😁
Lovely and entertaining for racists and hate mongers.

I wouldn't put On the Buses in with Porridge and Rising Damp. It was bloody AWFUL!

The world back then was just as confusing and chaotic as today. We just look back on the past with rose-tinted glasses. still a great comedy though!
The racist morons don't laugh at themselves. They are too stupid to get it.
Its amazing how 40 years later, this comedy still goes over peoples heads.
That’s because most people are thick.
But You of course understand it fully.
Another tv great of the 70's, clever writing, wit and good timing, with today's pc gone mad these programmes have died out.
brilliant we need more comedy like this
@Elliott Bronstein We prefer the original, not an American copy.
comdy at is best....thanks to all the cast and writers who made this worth watching......Brilliant.
Bring Alf back, straight talking Brit. The only problem is he would serve life imprisonment for his honest views,
You prat Warren Mitchell was a Jew and the programme was taking the piss out his typical ignorant persona. It wasn’t endorsing his views. Dick.
Proper comedy...when humour as humour and we could have a laugh between us !
This is when we had no bullshit political correctness..This is pure comedy!.. When Britain was great!
