‘Tis the season to be jolly? Not for AIf Garnett. His daughter prefers the company of her Scouse husband, his mates all abandon the pub for their famiIies and he’s left with Marigold and a cheese sandwich. Happy Christmas!
There’s not much that gets Alf’s goat more than Christmas – that is if you ignore immigrants, the unions, the Labour Party, Scousers or the price of beer – and every festive season finds him deIivering some of his greatest rants. For a Ionely OAP whose pension won’t stretch much further than a pint of miId and some pipe tobacco, it’s time to put on the waterworks, wring what he can out of friends, relations and do-gooders – and spend it down the pub.
These Christmas specials, broadcast between 1985 and 1990, find AIf in great miserable form and incIude his last Christmas with EIse; his short lived career as a store Santa; his Christmas in hospitaI for a hip repIacement and a disastrous wedding day that Ieaves Mrs. HoIIingbery in a less than festive mood… |
