    Classic from a vintage golden era of British Comedy, through the 60s and 70s we had Till Death, Steptoe & Son, Porridge, Dads Army, Rising Damp, One the Buses , Good Life etc.. We were spoilt with 2 decades of great writing, great actors, and brilliant humor, pity today's telly weren't half as good as these quality humorous comedy gems.

    I was born in London in 1964 so when Till Death us do Party came out on TV, we as a family watched it and it was one of our favourite TV comedies. This brings back great memories and happy ones as well. They made great TV in those days when you had real freedom of speech, and comedy and comedians were really funny. There was no Nazi PC around and no woke nutters plus only two genders not the looney made up crap so called genders that actually doesn't exist. We had fantastic TV with only 3 TV channels that made great entertaining TV and you didn't care about paying the TV licence. Unfortunately today we have crap TV where they make one or two good TV programmes but the TV licence is far too expensive for the crap we get plus it's far too woke, PC and far left which has destroyed the enjoyment of TV entertainment. That is why I watch You Tube as you can still get some good TV programmes from the 60's and 70's the golden age of TV. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    I'm almost 65 and LOVED this comedy. The series later was brilliant too - where Alf had a black guy coming round to look after him, and a gay bloke too. Seeing as Alf was always a racist bigot, it was hilarious as they always got the better of him. That was like SO many of our comedies from the 60's/70's - the black people always got the better of us whites. We thought it was hilarious, and black people loved those comedies too. Who says we were racist. Government and MSM are constantly trying to divide us today, when there never was a division. The son-in-law is Cherie Blair's dad isn't he.

      I remember how openly racist the average white British person was when this show was on television. Men like Alf Garnett were everywhere and anyone whose skin colour was judged to be too dark were given a bad time by them.
      The beauty of this series is that the brilliant script shows up those bigoted opinionated loudmouths for the idiots that they are. Warren Mitchell, the actor who played Garnett, was a Jewish man who would have known all about suffering at the hands of racists.

    I was born & raised in the UK in 1961. This was one of my mother's favorite TV shows and I would watch it with her. I am now an American citizen living in California for about thirty four years and employed by a School District. Watching the first few minutes of this episode after all those years I was shocked at the language and attitude of Alf Garnett. It is a funny show in a nostalgic sense, however I'm not edorsing it.
    btw "Randy Scouse Git" was the name of a single by The Monkees. The name of the single was changed by the record company to "Alternate Title" because "Randy Scouse Git" wss deemed inappropriate.

      +All Our Yesterdays Thank you. Some misunderstanding here. The "PC" that I refer to is "Politically Correct" ie. the removal of any material of a risque nature or of possible offence to any section of society. Other examples of Brit. TV programmes include Benny Hill and Spike Milligan that major TV companies wouldn't show now.

      that's mostly safe Hollywood garbage.. We're talking about comedy. Don't get me wrong America has some good comedy, but the British sitcom started it and cannot be imitated. Yeah I like American comedy of course, but it's a different league and relies more on gimmicks. UK comedy is still good today (in some cases) but caters to a wider audience of people who like catchphrases and gimmicks..

      I thought Archie Bunker and Edit+meat head and the blonde daughter were' 'pretty good''i was very sad when Carole O'Connor died. I grew up with both TV shows living in New Zealand as a young male and I felt a kindred feeling with the two versions of the same theme. Thise were the days was a wonderful TV time for me as were many US TV shows as well as any English comedies=Hattie Jakes and Eric Sykes, the 2 Ronnies, Morcomb and Wise, Dave Allen, The Dick Emery Show, Benny Hill Show, oh my god there were so many, but US TV was extremely good in those days and I saw all of the great ones. Allas Smith and Jones, Not The nine o clock news, there were very many TV shows from both nations, such funny shows, they can be seen here now or gotten out on disc. All in the family was very funny, well until its makers became too self censoring, it's just so pc and hard to believe Archie and Edit would be caring for a small Jewish girl??The Jefferson's,I remember the Jefferson's were a black US family and the young teenage male was very funny. Yes that was fun and the TV show with the black couple living next door to the white couple in London was funny in a sarcastic way. And the show with, yes and the Benson show in US was good too, I liked Mrs Krowse and WK in Cincinnati was on earlier in the day when I got home from school. A good British TV show was ''IT ant half hot mum'' maid by the same team who made Dads Army. There are so many great TV shows from USA and Britain really. I don't think that many were rip offs of British TV just a few and those ones done ok and actually I THINK all IN THE FAMILY WAS A SLIGHT IMPROVEMNET ON till DEATH,WELL THATS MY OPINION ANYWAY....
