      I think it's racist to not allow these shows because it implies black people can't have a laugh! I bet 90%+ of the people saying this was racist were white!

    The whole point was to show the stupidity of racism and the bigot. Every joke was at Ajf's expense and while some bigots thought he was an icon most realised his shallowness. I believe, in hindsight, it did help to bring more harmony, acceptance and inclusivity to British society and its writer Johnny Speight, should be recognised for that..

    Alf is meant to be laughed at Shady. He is representative of a type of East End geezer who carried on like this. The creator has deliberately engaged in hyperbole and exaggerated that. Note how his gay black home help makes a lot more sense. Alf is actually a fair bit calmer in this than in the early shows he starred in. He is sometimes prepared to listen to the black guy or concede a point. He was much nastier when he first appeared on TV screens in the 1960s.

    The whole issue of Alf Garnett was he was openly racist and the humour was in exposing his bigotry and stupidity. In Sickness and in Health it had the brilliant twist of deliberately bringing in two aspects of a character that would guarantee to make Alf's head spin. A black AND gay health care worker. This just exposed Garnett's bigotry even more. The best episode of Til death us do Part was the one where Alf has to give blood and he meets a black donor at the transfusion centre. The argument with his son in law on the subject is a classic.

    Things people say can have consequences even if not meant in a hateful way.
    Alf Garnet was a nationalist, Warren Mitchell was a great actor that brought the character to life, the show deserved to get awards I don't know if they got any.

    The problem with characters like Alf Garnet is that instead of realising that they were the bigots to be laughed at and actually usually the butt of the joke, was that the real bigots watching it misunderstood the point they were being made fun of and identified with those characters as 'people like me' saying what they wanted to in real life. The previous show 'Til Death Do Us Part' had Alf pitted against his family - wife, daughter and Left voting son-in-law, and they always bested him. In Sickness and In Health had him being bested by Marigold every time in part because he gave as good as he got. And it was HIS response we were meant to laugh with not the original baited comment.
    There were several tv comedies which took on the idea - Love Thy Neighbour was another one where its now considered racist, but it was of its time and the bigoted guy usually got his comeuppance. The language used though was not always pleasant and would definitely be seen as offensive now.
    To this day its still misunderstood that the whole point of Alf Garnet - who was played by a Jewish man - (so your clip has Jewish, Asian and West Indian actors in it all using stereotypes....) and written to show the absurdity of racism and right wing beliefs by those who still think of him as a hero....!

    Its how things was in the good ol days. Racist comedy was actualy taking the piss out of racists and racism and showing it for what it is (Rediculous) .

    This laughing at a racist character, rather than laughing at other races. Most British people understood that, even back in the 1970's.

    You've gotta admire the irony, whether intentional or not. How many of us remember those days? Love Thy Neighbour, the Black and White Minstrels. Don't forget the hassle the poor gays got as well. It's good to know society can change, just not that quick. My grandad served in the Punjab, he called them.. well I won't say it.. but until his dying breath he used this term, but never with hate. More with a sneaking admiration that they could nick his sheets, pyjamas and mosquito net without him waking up.

    White GenX here. Not saying there was no racism, there was. But, these programs enjoyed the delicious differences and poked fun in all directions. It was not mean spirited. There were problems from this humour, eg in a school with only a couple of black lids the white kids would repeat the jokes in the playground and the black kids being totally outnumbered didn’t feel great about it to but it mildly, playgrounds are also prone to being mean spirited. But the program itself wasn’t imo racist. Enjoying the differences and taking the piss out of everyone used to be part of being British, until the woke brigade buggered everything up .

    The thing is about that is to remember.
    Alf and Marigold are born in Britain, and the shopkeeper has "Right of Abode" under common wealth rules. (I'll leave you to Google that)
    So they're all British citizens.
    Same passport's different faces.
    That was the underlying joke. They're being racist to people who are as British as each other.
    Therefore, exposing the stupidity of their views.
    Like Benny Hill making fun of gay men, when he was, in fact, gay himself.
    Hope that helps.

    They had a dig at each other, it was standard across all races. It was fun, good honest fun. If you want racist, try Love Thy Neighbour.
