Now we have Cambridge University spending 2 years investigating whether they 'benefited from the slave trade'.
 How about all the blacks that have benefited, getting to live in a first world country, or would they prefer to go home to the voodoo villages of their ancestors? |

One of the funniest programmes on television. Everybody watched it at the time and never thought twice about it.
Kenny Lynch was a regular and many other non-whites joined in on the fun. Alf was the bigot who always came off worst due his prejudice. Society was far more open and honest in those days |

Alf was the bigot who always came off worst due his prejudice. I was discussing this with a friend a few months ago and this is exactly what we concluded . 'Til Death Us Do Part' contrary to the belief of the PC Snowflake generation , did not have the effect of encouraging viewers into having racially prejudiced views . In fact it had the opposite effect because we were not laughing with Alf Garnett , we were laughing at him . The whole programme highlighted the futility of harbouring such bigoted opinions and how ridiculous people who hold such views look to others . 'Love Thy Neighbour' and 'It ain't Half Hot Mum' also showed similar bigoted behaviours and attitudes but neither compared to the brilliant work of Johnny Speight . |

very true Dr C far too subtle for todays BBC |

By:
Brilliant. Have them all on dvd.
Nicholas Lyndhurst on the news today doubts that even Only Fools & Horses would be made today. I fear we will never see a new truly funny sitcom ever again. |
|
By:
Mind Your Language was very funny at the time it was made. Never seen it since.
Ain`t Have Hot Mum another very funny comedy that never gets repeated. |

To their eternal shame the Beeb didn't even show a clip of IAHHM in their tribute to Windsor Davies, but
showed ITVs feeble Never the Twain. |
|
By:
Yes, that was bad Keith. At least we have the dvds.

Love thy Neighbour never shown on Tv ...and it was the black man that always got the better of the white man

Strange that the leftist BBC don't show endless repeats of Citizen Smith.

Love thy Neighbour never shown on Tv
Was broadcast on ITV in the mid-seventies. |

I meant re-shown

By:
not sure Alf Garnett was ever funny ...just a character of the time i spose .
In fact knock on any bungalow in Holland on sea and you will get a real life Alf Garnett for free  |
|
By:
I liked 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum', especially Windsor Davies as Battery Sergeant Major Williams
|
|
By:
Keith Moon in his post above was right - that was ridiculous not to show a clip of IAAHM in the Windsor Davies' tribute.

Alf was the bigot who always came off worst due his prejudice. He got into discussions, contradicted himself, got mad, and then shouted "I'm going down the pub".  |

Rising damp still gets an airing on itv,but I bet the bbc wouldn’t have the gonads to show it,even though the black guy always gets the better of rigsby.

Imo Johnny Speight had the last laugh,the " Alf is a bigot" defence meant he was able to write anything he wanted and get away with it.Not that i am objecting.
