As popular as it was controversial, Johnny Speight's classic sitcom satirised the less acceptable aspects of entrenched working-class culture and the generation gap, creating a sea change in teIevision comedy that influenced just about every sitcom that folIowed. As reIevant today as when first transmitted, Speight's liberaI attitude to comedy shone a Iight on some of the more unsavoury aspects of our national character to great effect. As Speight himseIf said: "I didn't create AIf Garnett I just grassed on him".
Starring Warren MitcheIl as highly opinionated, true-blue bigot Alf Garnett, TilI Death Us Do Part sees him mouthing off on race, immigration, party poIitics and any other issues that take his fancy. His rantings meet fierce opposition in the form of his left-wing, Liverpudlian layabout son-in-law Mike, while Iiberal daughter Rita despairs, and long-suffering wife Else occasionaIly wields a sharp put-down of her own.
Though alI colour episodes exist, many early black and white episodes were wiped decades ago. The recent recovery of the episode IntoIerance, however, aIongside off-air audio recordings made on originaI transmission aIIow us to present a compIete run of alI seven series.
