He was actually saying that football hooligans, muggers and rapists should be branded, not Scousers. Alf's son-in-law, whom I know he disliked, was a scouser!
Live in Texas, across the pond. Wish my grandfather hadn't emigrated to the States. I'm a diehard Anglophile who loves Britcoms, British mysteries of all kinds. Been blessed to visit England twice.
that one thing about the past i do miss..is how we could all laugh at eachother with eachother...poke fun at eachothers customs and everything else to do with the different colors of people..im white and i grew up on the rez..i miss that easyness we had around eachother...laughed all the time and now that the world is run by snowflakes everyone hates eachother 😔😔😔 i don't like our world anymore...and theres way too many people that the world can sustain feeding everyone for much longer or house them 😔😔😔 well if i find a time machine ipl come get you and we will go back together 😊😊😊😊
@@michaelmacdonell4834 Delivery does play a major part. He does not merely "say" the lines in the script. Anyone who can read can do that Shakespeare was a a great scriptwriter.... Not so hot as an actor by all accounts.
I think he speaks for probably 10-15 % of so called indigenous Brits, maybe 20% at best . That's the whole point of the series. He (Alf) is a buffoon who repels most of the people he comes into contact, alebit in the most hilarious ways. Three cheers for the socialist writer, the late great Johhny Speight who gave us this brilliant series, and three cheers for the late great Warren Mitchell, a Jew and a socialist who turned into Alf for our pleasure.
@@terrythekittieful the best but true comment here, I don’t understand why racists and biggots hijack Alf garnets character, warren Mitchel his family suffered very hard during ww2 I had the pleasure of meeting him once while working In my dad’s restaurant a great man, kind and very pleasant
I agree Stewie. Just today there was a story on the Sky News (Murdoch) far right website of mice running loose in a Melbourne hospital. One of the comments blamed the cleaners as 'people from overseas who aren't used to our first world standards'. Right up Alf's alley and just as ignorant.
The BBC can do one, peado protecting wankers, forcing people to pay their TV licences, sending goons round to people’s houses making threats. There should be a channel where you can watch programs like this if you so choose. I like stuff like this, but I’m not knuckle headed enough to expect everyone else to. That would be like forcing everyone to eat marmite because you liked it.
You'd be surprised! The BBC has decided to broadcast it again! They have sadly decided to censor the series to take into account 'Political correctness'. Each of the edited episodes is now in the region of 14 seconds long.
He’s my hero is Alf , always thought he was great....scripts were bravely genius ...and he was the true voice of all of us hiding behind political correction....always felt sorry for his wife the lovely Dandy Nichols ..brilliant natural actress😬
I watched this and love thy neighbour as a kid back in the day and it's just as good watching it 2019 as it ever was .. this kind of comedy gold never dies ??
@@bermudarailway2411 say what ???what is it that alf says that is so insightful give some so much enjoyment ..i m using this programme and a few others to write a thesis so a answer would help me greatly
Those were the days, eh ? Councils providing Home Helps. My diabetic Aunt had one. She spent the two hours allotted to her care, eating cake, and drinking tea. 😁
One of the best sitcoms on here along with On the busses,rising damp,steptoe &son and of course Laural&Hardy,always brings a laugh everytime,absolute quality muchbbetter than the garbage on tv nowadays
What’s wrong with The Vicar of Dibley, Benidorm, The Royle Family, Mrs Brown’s Boys, Early Doors, The Office, The Inbetweenies, Dinner ladies, Phoenix Night, Max and Paddy, Car Share, The Visit, Gavin and Stacey, Great Night Out, and Upstart Crow. They are as funny as Rising Damp, Steptoe and Son, Laurel and Hardy, Only Fools and Horses as well as Alf Garnet and the other sitcom greats. On the Buses has failed the test of time.
Thank you for these posts. Such hilarity is just fabulous. The scriptwriters were top notch and the acting remarkable. Great memories of good old British sitcoms that I watched with my late parents, is like a breath of fresh air. Thanks again!
You don’t laugh at the racism or the homophobia! You laugh at the ignorance. That was the point. And it only got banned by people that simply didn’t understand it.
back in 1969 I was a milk man , went to work on my 66 Dresda Bonnie that cost me £150, used to put tin baths etc on the float for afternoon shop deliveries (Co op) hasn't the world changed.
Omg When the milkman said "Ive got to go and settle up with the unmarried mother at no.26" Lol the ignorance..but still I think this is real comedy and that is what a lot of people were like.
Alf Garnet is so funny,an hillious,the we woman in the wheelchair,they both remind me of my late granny,an granda, cause he used to take her everywhere in that chair to.He also used to talk politics,another things,he used to fix cars,an clocks,an sometimes watches as well.miss them dearly lol.🙂❤️❤️
@Louisa Graves get over yourself the remainers lost, if you believe all the hype rgarding lorry queues homlessness etc then you really are a member of the sheeple
