Till Death... DVD review

Fans of Till Death Us Do Part may end up a little disappointed by Till Death..., which definitely isn't how they would choose to think of the immortal Alf Garnett. However, for completists and those interested in forgotten television curiosities, Till Death... is worth a look.

Till Death Us Do Part - Blu-ray review

The immortal character of Alf Garnett as played by Warren Mitchell represents a section of society that's never allowed to be part of British culture any longer - the aspirational and patriotic working classes.

Editing your script & not being invisible at the Fringe

If you fancy yourself as a wordsmith on stage or screen, my advice is to write as little dialogue as possible.

TV humour is lewd, lavatorial & lacking any form of wit

The problem, however, is bigger than just one show. For the abject and high-profile failure of The Nightly Show raises a disturbing question. What has happened to British comedy? The sheer unfunniness of much of it is beyond depressing.

Review - Till Death Us Do Part: The Complete Collection

Till Death Us Do Part is one of the most important and controversial sitcoms even made in Britain: it was controversial when it was broadcast in the 1960s and 70s due to the swearing which attracted the wrath of Mrs. Mary Whitehouse; and is controversial now for the openly racist and offensive views of its lead character, Alf Garnett, perhaps Britain's most popular bigot (with the possible exception of Nigel Farage).

Watching unPC sitcoms should be part of the curriculum

The BBC's remakes of Till Death Us Do Part and Are You Being Served? are only to be appreciated through the filter of irony. But things like It Ain't Half Hot Mum weren't malicious.

Tightened budgets are cutting deep at the BBC. They can't even afford sets with walls for their season of Lost Sitcoms...
