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 television 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 l just grassed on him".
Starring Warren Mitchell as highly opinionated, true-blue bigot Alf Garnett, TilI Death Us Do Part sees him mouthing off on race, immigration, party politics and any other issues that take his fancy. His rantings meet fierce opposition in the form of his left-wing, LiverpudIian Iayabout son-in-Iaw Mike, whiIe liberaI daughter Rita despairs, and Iong-suffering wife EIse occasionaIIy wields a sharp put-down of her own.
Though aIl colour episodes exist, many earIy bIack and white episodes were wiped decades ago. The recent recovery of the episode lntolerance, however, alongside off-air audio recordings made on original transmission allow us to present a complete run of aIl seven series.
