The great characture from "till death do us part" has left us, I still love to watch old episodes on you tube, the story lines could have been taken from last week, just shows nothing has changed, RIP Alf, you will be missed

'In Sickness and in Health' was brilliant too, poor old Alf saddled with someone representing everything he hated - a gay, black young home-help who he could neither get rid of and though he would never admit it, actually liked and respected.

I also remember his cameo Mr Fishfiners in Jabbawocky.

I was just talking about him the other day, about how I remember him as a mad jewish rabbi, who murdered people then gouged the victims eyes out in some tv drama in the 80s or 90s.

It was called Wall of Silence according to my mate Google.

You missed the point then. His Alf Garnett role was written to be ironical and portrayed bigots as the morons they usually are. Razz

RIP to a superb actor and a decent human being.

The thing the luvvies don't get is that when they write characters to parody the ignorant unwashed underclass, those same people will identify with the character depicted because it's the only time they or someone whose viewpoint they can identify with, will get shown on screen, whether that's Alf Garnett, Loadsamoney, Rab C or Vicky Pollard in Little Britain. The proles don't get the joke, that they are having the piss taken out of them, it flies right above their head, even if the chattering Grauniadista classes do, and snicker at their expense.

I may be wrong, you might be being ironic, but are you suggesting that the decline of racism and homophobia is a bad thing?

Aren't you a police officer?

I'm confused.

Jeeze.

It was a bloody tv sitcom.

My comment wasn't serious.

Just like the programme itself.

Did some serious acting...was in "Confessions Of a Window Cleaner" Very Happy


c.1980/81 I do seem to remember him trying his hand at being manager for a punk band whose gimmick was dressing up in paramilitary gear complete with balaclavas. I say "gimmick" because although I can remember them appearing in a "shocked" Daily Mail, I can't for the life of me remember their name or a single track of theirs, and I saw and heard more punk bands in the 80s, from the totally shite to the amazingly awesome, than my dog had dinners.

I'm sure he'll be somewhat alarmed to hear that, given that he's still alive Wink

Probably not too long before he shuffles off this mortal coil, as he's had Alzheimers for a while, but he's still with us for now.
