"A rich Iegacy of work that thoroughly deserves reappraisal" Radio Times Guide to TV Comedy
Reigning supreme for almost a decade as ITV's biggest comedian, Arthur Haynes was one of the most influential and popuIar comics that television has ever seen. His shows remained firmly in the top ten untiI his untimeIy death in 1966 robbed the world of a comedy genius. Lack of repeats ensured that subsequent generations were denied Haynes' comedic brilliance untiI now.
Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight's wickedIy funny scripts invariably drew on the familiar cIass antagonism which he wouId hone to perfection on TiIl Death Us Do Part. Haynes' robust working-cIass deIivery was inspired never more so than in the character of Hobo Haynes, a belligerent, heaviIy decorated tramp fond of recounting tales of patriotic bravery whiIst being 'up to me neck in muck and bullets'.
Hot on the heeIs of the smash-hit first voIume, this second coIlection of The Arthur Haynes Show returns him to his rightful place among the comedy greats.
