I'm 72 and although its a b'stard I can at least remember when we were all British, all proud, white black and brown, we all had one thing in common: To work hard, look after our family and friends and have respect.
Brilliant, loved Till Death Us Do Part.....sadly all four are not with us anymore but leave us with this classic sitcom to watch, thankyou to you all !!
Yes, this really was the type of conversation from a million London working class terrace houses where the young ones continued to live with their parents and in laws in the 1960s and 70s. Alf is a very real character to me.. I met him in one form or other everyday of my childhood.
Bloody brilliant. I was laughing all the way through. What the hell has happened to our world where this type of comedy is frowned upon and banned. Don't even attempt to tell me the world is a better place without it.
Its all gone to PC shit....just like this country.....be careful tho....we arn't allowed freedom of speech anymore ....what would alf think of it now.....god bless him......love this Show...👏
Always love Alf Garnett his always going to make you laugh and smile love this takin the ____love his wife too yep like your old grandad but are grandads still like this crazy but so people say oh them days them days never forgotten
I had the pleasure of working with this amazing man Whenever anyone said anything about him taking the mickey out of the other races, his response was "It isn't them I'm taking the mickey out of" Loved the man, very gentle, caring and incredibly funny Warren Mitchell
Have you seen The Vikings. Dandy Nichols starring along side Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Ernest Borgnine, and James Donald. Crazy to think she had starred with screen legends like those, and then later become the character of Alf Garnets wife in a TV series. She is very funny though. 😁
@@rmstitanic8163 I'm sure if you check out Warren Mitchell's career you'll find he had cameos with leading stars of the day, he appeared in a science fiction film with the American actor Forrest Tucker the Trollenberg Terror, which is just one of many appearances he made in films, also check out Diana Dors from sex symbol in the 40s and 50s to matriarch mother symbol in Queenie's Castle etc, you'll be amazed with who they started out with to how they ended up, even Harry H Corbett of Steptoe and Son fame appeared in films with big names one of them titled Floods of Fear with Howerd Keel,
When I watched this as a child I was always sorry for Else and what she had to put up with. Watching it now I see she was the one getting the better of Alf.
How marvellous to see this, how we all laughed in the 70s, we are all fair game in comedy as long as it is not in bad taste, I don't think anyone was insulted here, it was the humour of the period, we could all be young, old ,mother-in-laws, tyrannical father in laws, white, black, other ethnic origins ,working class (I am ) and here, The Queen Mum, with a very good sense of humour invited to laugh with ground breaking comedy and from leading writers of the day. Times have changed.
Pure class , Different class to so called comedy These days .Every Thursday I go to my daughter, for tea ,we either watch open all hours, porridge, Or Til death to us part , Faulty towers etc .She is only 36,But loves them. I have not watched a TV in 10 years ,With the utter tripe they have on
EXACTLY ... Alf was always given the run round / out witted by hiswife / daughter / and new wife ... This is one of the best thought out, funniest, series to ever be broadcast ........ As English as roast beef or Darts and Snooker,,,, Warren Mitchel is an acting genius
@@Smithjones12All in the Family is often regarded in the United States as one of the greatest television series in history. (Wikipedia) Why was it dreadful?
I saw warren Mitchell at a cabaret in Australia in about 1974. He came on as Alf garnet in the first half and then as himself after the break. Very funny guy.
Alf Garnett mentions Philip in the navy. He was my fathers immediate officer on HMS Kent until it came under attack in march 1942 at Malta when 128 men were killed, including the captain, by a bombs dropped by JU 88's whilst unloading a merchant ship. My father was crippled for life.
This is real comedy where they talk like real people do. so called comedies today like my family and others I cant even name dont compare to this. I love this show and In Sickness and in health later on
"Those were the days my friend. I thought they'd never end!" Sorry Mary Hopkins but the establishment murdered that line! Dandy Nichols was a British Institution as Alf's silly old moo! The perfect foil!
I got to see Warren Mitchell doing Alf Garnett in the '90s. He was as great as ever. I don't think even this older material is offensive, he's laughing at the people who think like Alf.
@@markharrison2544 It isn't shown now because it isn't 'politically correct' but I would argue that rather than encourage racism, it obviously mocked people who think like 'Alf'. We are laughing at him and his ridiculous rants and opinions. He's an idiot and anyone who is racist because of watching him is a moron.
@@rexterrocks Most people who watched the series did so because they loved the racism and fully agreed with Alf's views. Black children were abused at school by their peers who quoted the evil filth in this sick series.
@@markharrison2544 You are right that kids in particular, along with some idiot adults do copy things they hear but that shows how stupid they are. If you watch 'Til Death do us part', Alf is always an idiot. He's inept and is obviously stupid. I think anyone who thinks anything Alf says is credible and copies it must be an idiot. He's a joke and the programme is meant to show that his opinions are ridiculous. In the last series, he got a home help who turned out to be black and gay.I thought it was hilarious. I would never call this programme sick. Its obviously anti-racist.
2:10 - Notice how after Dandy Nichols says her line here the is a long pause before Tony Booth starts his line. It is either Dandy had another line to say and forgot it or Tony forgot his line and was dying to think of it and got it after a few seconds.
Live performances can stress even the most experienced actor. That awful moment when your mind goes temporarily blank or a fellow-performer fluffs the cue line.
They were the good old old days, bit of good old BRITISH HUMOUR , I remember Mary Whitehouse banning Chuck Berry 's song my Dingaling . These days kids of 5 years old swear more than Alf Garnett ever did , now you can't even smack a child , I was smacked by my parents and caned at school , it didn't do me any harm . It made me what I am today respect for the elderly and the disabled people .
You Brits still do the best comedy in the world, I'm lucky being an Aussie , I get the lot of it, just no one comparable to the Poms when a laugh is needed. Love it.
Worlds within worlds, a complex, layered theatrical event created by the remarkable Johnny Speight. The real-life theatre audience at the Royal Variety Performance eavesdrops on the Garnett family's reactions to an imaginary Royal Variety Performance on the telly. The satire is far-reaching, largely at the expense of Alf. Eat your heart out Gogglebox . . .
I wonder if Caroline Aherne watched this and said to herself, "I have an idea, I'll make a show about a family, and their surname is Royle , and I'll call it "The Royle Family".

It's still broadcast on Now That's TV, channel. Plenty of beeps bleeping out "offensive" words. But it's still definitely worth watching
Makes we shiver when watching these old progs how many are no longer with us.
Yes l thought they had all died.l wasn't sure about worren mitchell.1972 .l was at school then .
The young woman is still alive and kicking.
@@johnhenshaw7655 No I’m sorry to inform you that the young woman….Una Stubbs sadly passed away in 2021 😢🙏
Yes, this really was the type of conversation from a million London working class terrace houses where the young ones continued to live with their parents and in laws in the 1960s and 70s. Alf is a very real character to me.. I met him in one form or other everyday of my childhood.
Sadly they're gone now.
Absolutely brilliant comedy, you dont find comedy like this anymore, pure gold, loved this series 🤣
Classic, absolute classic. Still funny today. This is a masterclass for the second rate "comedians" of today!
I agree, second rate "comedians" of today could learn from it. Superior ones, of course, are above it.
Second rate? That's very complimentary.
It's now 2022 and this skitt is a classic which would still be revalent today
Alf was definitely right about Prince Phillip’s swearing lol
SIRLESPATERSON
Bloody brilliant. I was laughing all the way through. What the hell has happened to our world where this type of comedy is frowned upon and banned. Don't even attempt to tell me the world is a better place without it.
yeah you wouldn't say alf is racist he could tell them to bugger off or i not drinking in the same pub as him but he doesn't,
Very well said. The country changed so quickly. And not for the better.😔
Its all gone to PC shit....just like this country.....be careful tho....we arn't allowed freedom of speech anymore ....what would alf think of it now.....god bless him......love this Show...👏
It’s all about controlling us now.
Sad isn't it, all humour banned. It will soon be illegal to laugh. Not a nice world to be in.
Just stumbled across this from 50 years ago. Wow! Class acting, and compulsive viewing back in the day.
Always love Alf Garnett his always going to make you laugh and smile love this takin the ____love his wife too yep like your old grandad but are grandads still like this crazy but so people say oh them days them days never forgotten
One word BRILLIANT -bring back the old days :)
BRILLIANT - bring back the old days. That's 6 words not one!
George Ros those old days are back ,.,,there called Brexit.....
OTT..2019
Never enough credit given to the writers on these shows! Brilliant stuff.
There was only one writer for Till Death Us Do Part, called Johnny Speight. He wrote it all on his own.
@@johnking5174 Correct. I was meaning British comedy shows in general. Performers are stars....writers are writers.
Warren Mitchell was incredibly talented man
He had a guest role in The Sweeney as a bent car park manager.
@@mnd1955 And in Dangerman as an Indian government official (with a dodgy accent)!
I love the documentary he did on his time at Oxford university, filmed in 1970.
The man spoke so many truths...🥴 Dandy Nichols was absolutely brilliant.🌸
in the new one in sickness and in health straight off the bat oh look here's Zola Budd genius
I had the pleasure of working with this amazing man
Whenever anyone said anything about him taking the mickey out of the other races, his response was
"It isn't them I'm taking the mickey out of"
Loved the man, very gentle, caring and incredibly funny

It’s now 2024. If any current tv comedy comes close to this then I haven’t seen it.
Looking back on these old programmes makes me feel so sad. This was made when it was great to be British and proud to be part of it. Not any more..
A pure comedian genius bring back this type of comedy any day .still makes you laugh all these years on .
When I watched this as a child I was always sorry for Else and what she had to put up with. Watching it now I see she was the one getting the better of Alf.
So true! Dandy had just a few lines in each episode but was the immovable object against which Alf crashed.
When she passed away I actually stopped watching TDDUP. Wasn't as good without her.
This is pure gold..perfect antidote to the cobblers on these days...
Your taste is as brilliant as this warren Mitchell and co perfomance ,gold trimmed with platinum ms cdf ty x
Fantastic comedy in those days! No damn PC! British comedy was the best in the world! Down to earth, cheeky and witty!
its bbc propaganda...that obviously missed its target with you 😂
The comic timing is perfection in this sketch

Brilliant. Top comedy. Real comedy. Freedom of speech at its best.
Brilliant great acting
Dandy Nicols is brilliant in this getting all the best one liners, overall though just superb despite a few mistakes which they covered nicely.
The swear box under the table 🤣
She was. She was a bit under the radar, but she was good.
Brilliant ! Hard to believe he was a great Shakespearean actor too !
I saw him in Oxford, in the play ‘visiting Mr Green’ long before I knew about all this! And he did Shylock on BBC too.
Ive watched this so many times and still laugh every time. What a cast, what a script 😂😂😂.
Great stuff!😂👍👍👍

I love the audience reaction when the curtain goes up and people recognise the show.
Love TIL death do us part, one of the best comedies ever. This is comedy at his best
Now it makes sense. It does look like All in the Family!

This is real comedy where they talk like real people do.

I love this show and In Sickness and in health later on
So funny I remember watching this I'm 58 great
I couldn't stop laughing, Brilliant.
This aired on Sunday 5th November 1972 on BBC One. The Queen Mother was the royal who attended this performance.
You're not the John King who went to Ricky Grammar are you, by any chance ?

Plus the Queen mother the victim of this abd liz and Phil the greek

When comedy was real comedy. 👍
Great comedy, great writing, great acting. Still a joy
