this is really funny, but i'm american and don't know a lot of the slang--what's a mick? is that kind of a derogatory name for an Irish person? i'm Scottish by blood so the "garlic" part was hilarious...
Johnny Speight created Alf Garnett as a figure of ridicule. Warren Mitchell played him very well despite lots of hassle from the wider public about his characters racist taunts. Alf was supposed to be a character that no one wanted to aspire to!
Indeed, some people find it hard to separate the actor from his act. I like Garnett yet he goes on about Micks. I worked with people like him and was able to hit back at them by going " shut up Alf Garnett" Warren Mitchell was himself Jewish and used to go on about the Yids. Classic stuff, shame its gotten all PC. Makes everything go underground
The BBC have confirmed that they will be releaseing In Sickness & in Health series 3 - 4 on DVD in 2009. series 1 - 2 are NOW on DVD. And the Christmas Specials are on DVD on November 03rd 2008.
They said they will do 2 releases per year so help me spread the word about to any one who is a fan of In Sickness & in Health. Thanks
i know it was written as irony, but the affect is that of Al Murray today you mostly agree with him or a least know where he's coming from, with the odd bit of irony coming through now and then as it does with most comedy characters (e.g. captain mainwaring, the classic mild snob not getting into the golf club being a good example)
im a very big fan of Alf Garnet,I have been all my life, u just don,t get anything like this on TV, and never will again sady.But great news to keep us all going until the BBC RELEASE another DVD here is a music video i have made of Alf and his long suffering wife. Hope u all injoy. THANKS
To all fan's of In Sickness and in Health. In Sickness and in Health is Pending DVD release. The BBC have not yet Confirmed a release date, series 1 will be released in 2008. So spread the word so we can get all 6 series and the 5 Christmas Special's on DVD
