- When Alf has to try & servive Christmas on his state pension, he tries to con the local vicor into providing him with a Christmas hamper, by pretending it is for a lonely sick old lady that he knows.
When Alf is rumbled by Mrs Hollingbery, he is forced to enter the hamper into a raffle, but in classic Alf Garnett style, he puts his name on all the winning raffle tickets.
Classic Christmas comedy special from 1989. - Комедії
Im 46, thouroughly enjoyed that! ❤
Absolute rubbish on TV at Christmas now, take me back to when TV was funny. Thank goodness for UA-cam and great uploaders.
oh take me back ...no internet , no cell phones , great comedy and no one easily offended unlike today
Alf Garnett is a parody, showing how stupid racists are
so what is offensive?
great comedy tho,
now watched on the old internet
There were a fair number of mobile phones around in 1989.
It's easy if you like it so much, get a landline, rid of your internet and buy all these on video you could be in your element
Be careful what wish for they trying to remove all people have as it goes
@@StevieRevbo
Great days.
Mr. Greengrass in the company of Alf! What a combo!
Wish tv progs like this was still on today!!!!
well isn't this "on"? and no licence fee crap needed
@@StevieRevbo Yet!
Well in a way they are, with on demand Internet and streaming you can time travel back to the golden age of TV
This was a wonderful series - Alf [Warren] was certainly one of life's characters, he would have made the most miserable people laugh !
When comedy actually made us laugh.
yes, real comedy not.like the pc rubbish we endure nowadays.....
@@annmcdonald6180 PC comedy today really ? have you heard all the swearing in comedy's today !
How very right you are.
@@jahno7154 but they steer clear of certain topics....I feel swearing is just vulgar, nothing to do with pc
This show wasn’t exactly hilarious at this point, it was long past it’s best
Met Alf in the village inn high gate,London,lovely guy,RIP
I've heard this about Warren Mitchell. He was a nice bloke back before "celebrity culture".
TV at its best, happy days
the brit sense of humour is off the scale funny
My old mum realised she had not paid her TV licence fee for a few months before Christmas in 89 & when we visited her on Boxing day she was eating some chicken breast left overs for her dinner......Not in my entire life have I ever been so angry as I was on that day. Apart from kidnapping her and bringing her home with us, I have never paid the BBC a penny since then. And mum spent every Christmas with us until 1997 when she passed on her birthday 24th December 1997.... We may laugh n scoff at these old comedy programmes, but the truth & reality kicks home to those of us who remember.
takes me back to my childhood - love Alf!
Brilliant. They don't make Comedy like this anymore. Thanks for uploading.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Take me back to them good old days when no-one were affended . TV was limited but enjoyed .no network no cell phones no bother .plain simple life hard then no today complicated full stress and bitterness .enjoy life like Alf Garnett x
WITH BUCKETS OF SALT
Well said Joanne;)
@@connormcewen4601 nah all the salt is for the remonaners, theyre still using it too🤣🤣🤣
Watching the first five minutes and what strikes me is the skill Johnny Speight has in writing - in writing _great_ comedy.
There's nothing fancy or dramatic about three or four people sat in a pub watching life go by, but while the chat is pure trivia the delivery from Speight and the actors is for a clever satire on life. This is writing and comedy on the level of Galton & Simpson - nothing is really going on on the screen no, but the sheer irony and observations on life in the dialogue is absolutely brilliant comedy as there _is_ a certain amount of truth to what the petty little argument on the screen is all about.
Johnny Speight comes from that generation of writers Galton & Simpson came from, and it's a skill and gift for sharp observation and satire that I don't think exists in todays generation of writer. It's one reason you could never get the tight and confined style of comedy Speight, Galton, and Simpson, all excelled in. No one today can do it....
Great comedy I used to watch this programme all the time and other great English comedy now I watch it on u tube instead of the crap they call comedy these days on TV
Spot on nev
Ya!
I might of been, very young at the time. But this, was always on in my house👍😂

18 take me back n all. Great days
A time when we could all laugh at ourselves....
this is laughing at small-minded racist bigotry, so it's nice you put yourself in that category love
@@StevieRevbo I see that you have no sense of humour...Thats the trouble nowadays every is so serious....
@@passionflower730 agreed, to be british is to laugh at ourselves and others, foreigners dont understand that but will still claim they are british because they are third generation here, they are deluded and they are ruining our society, its nothing to do with racism but they see it that way because it is they who are concerned about it, not us
@@utrapzab totally agree with you, couldn't have said it better myself!
@@StevieRevbo go back to russia karen.
brilliant acting alf garnett iz a brilliant actor god bless u warren mitchell
Watching this by chance October 20 2022 and I'm certain this is about now in UK and the bleedin' Tories.
Thanks for putting this on. Brilliant.
Alf was a tory!
That's when our comedy was comedy lol
Bill Maynard brilliant actor!

Classic ! When we were allowed to have a sense of humour !
It is very sad that we are not allowed to have any fun in case we upset someone.
Exactly 👍
Only people who'd be offended now is pointless old gammons like you. He's taking the piss out of you but you're too thick to realise.
@@margaretcooper4389 we should ignore pc en masse
@@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888 Yes, Alf was an ignorant bastard and his bigotry was meant to be laughed at, not imitated. Unfortunately, some equally ignorant folk saw him as some sort of hero.
It doesn't matter who he rips into, it comes back to him 10 fold.
Alf Garnet reminded me of my dad, a right miserable old moaner, moaned about everything, Alf Garnet was real to life, if you went into pub backthen thats how it was, Sundays was when the family got up and instead of going to church they went to the pub in the morning and then back home for Sunday lunch then in the evening back to the pub for the night until chucking out time. You didnt need to go far every street had a pub, known as your local, one thing I can say is people in those days were much happier then then they are now, and the pubs were full, unlike now one by one they all disappearing and beer was much cheaper, I blame all these foreign beers too much choice.
Like father, like son
😂😂😂😂@@jameswest4692
People were definatley more happier.
Spot on...Love ya...❤
Yeah a road in ipswich had 3 pubs on it 1 at at the top 1 in the middle and 1 at the other end a bit crazy but saves on walking when you drunk 🤣🤣
Spinning The 3 Wise Men into The 3 Shrewd Men is as brilliant as it is hilarious !!
2 THINGS - 1) A GARNETT , and 2) OH YEAH !!
very funny man, RIP.
Great writing and acting
a time when people over 50 went to the pub. Now pubs are full of wankers. xxxx
Imagine being in the boozer with Warren Mitchell, Bill Maynard and Ken Campbell...fckin outstanding.
bleeding students andsnowflake18-25s you can't chat up anyone as well nowadays.
This is another one British sitcom well lot of people would say they are being racist and shouldn't be shown on TV today how long could you be there's no racism in these programs whatsoever those who do think it sit down and watch it properly
Don't get Christmases like this any more... Now it's all SO commercial.. All the magic has pretty much died.
Alf was always the butt of his own jokes!
way is Alf and her talking about old Money?
Sadly people don't get that today. He was a bigot and a racist but we laughed at him because of that we didnt agree with him
Love Alf this is a classic.
Brilliant👍👍😂

We need Alf as Prime minister.
GRANTED HA HA
Yep, he'd make the best Labour Prime Minister any day 🤗🤗🤗.
Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic
So good to laugh again…this one is a beauty!!
Happy days
These stand the test of time. Love it, go on Alf Garnet just say it how it is fuck the consequences.
the show is a piss-take of the nonsense this bigot comes out with
@@StevieRevbo Anyone else hear that whooshing sound...?
How you get away with swearing beyond me
The golden days 💯💖🇬🇧🌹🤘
Classic
I like the way he scrownged some Whisky that was hillerious. It was proberly his own tenpy he brought pretending to say he found some money just to get thru the door
The good stuff!
Given the choice what would you rather be - English
Opening pub scene. Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield just must have watched that!
Alf Garnett, Alan Partridge, and Steptoe And Son were all created so that people in the know can laugh at people who don't know!
much love :)
When we was aloud to have an opinion
When we could all speaked proper
Wen all fings was gud
When we had a grasp of the English language.
My dad told me about these thanks for showing real TV not this new watered-down rubbish.
Get them put on uk gold.
Haha, the vicar is the estate agent in I'm Alan Partridge!
Free thinking was key. My mother sat there trying to keep a straight face! That was discipline! Silly moo!
Philip Fox, who plays the vicar that Alf scrounges booze from was very nearly Baldrick in the Blackadder series - he was in the pilot but Tony Robinson got the gig in the end
The great bill Maynard
Awe, ❤cast & revisiting just 1 episode crave more. TA for this nostalgiah✌
The only person who correctly labeled this episode as 1989 whereas everyone else got it wrong as series 4 1988
If BBC made comedy like this, maybe they wouldn't have so many of us STOP paying their licence for crap TAX
Couldnt be done though because the bbc is full of foreigners now and thry dont get our humour even if they have been here for 3,4,5 generations, thats why the country is screwed at the moment
Thing is, the BBC "used" to make comedy like this. Long before you had to pay megabucks for a "TV licence". But in case anyone forgets, the BBC is still a world class international broadcaster. This old ex-pat lives in Oz and the Beeb's coverage of our beautiful QE2's funeral was second to none. Credit where it's due, eh?
Hilarious! This is proper comedy it's funny
Love it.
I've got the box set 😍
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?

Don't want to upset you in any way but you do know that Warren Mitchell was a staunch Labour supporter don't you 🤗🤗🤗.
Great stuff!
WOW. They telling you to your face
This wife of Fred's is better than the other one
I feel sad for the poor old man wanting a Christmas Dinner , after all without it he wouldn’t have a. Christmas’s dinner . .
How many would forward to their bread and cheese for Christmas just like Alf especially with the cost of living in this day and age rather than a extravagant Christmas Day Turkey dinner?. I'll settle for a simply mug of Bovril anyday!.
Omg - Bill Maynard is so gorgeous. xxx
Loved him as Claude Greengrass in Heartbeat.
Nanny state no no now
But we had totps grandstand oh had half a chance to win euro vision...snapshot too!
Happy days bruv.
The Vicar must be related to Jerry Springer! Anyone else think so?
This would have the woke pc nappy wetters up in arms. Brilliant thanks for the upload 👍
I love love love love love pigs 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bill Maynard and Bill Maynard Bill Maynard and Warren Warren Mitchell the great actors that great to fantastic actors who Starry Night Heartbeat with Nick Berry starting heartbeat the original Wickes in the original EastEnders is starting heartbeat alongside the original the 1960s cop drama heartbeat Yorkshire

Ahh.. take in the less fortunate…and dump ‘em on the State come Boxing Day….!
LUV EM JEWS
If the H was a W, it’d be like Only Fools And Horses 10 years before around when Lindsay was born and I was 3 1/2.
Alf Garnett was in the pub going on about immigration 🙄 Alf was a right old moaner.

sly as a fox

what happened to mr johnsons wife different actress
My theory is he had a different wife everytime.
He is a hard man to get along with, mad as a march hare ! Fred Johnson has 3 divorces under his belt.
This is the most fun wife by far 👌
Wasn't she a lesbian
So funny, Johnny Speight was a genius comedy writer and a lefty as was Warren Mitchell. Right wingers can't write comedy but are always the perfect fodder for characters like Alf.
Will Richards
Well said mate whole heartedly agree 👍👍
@James Henderson one couple out of how many, non of our lot thought the way you are describing about your parents, it was not a given that anyone who watched this was a racist, no way at all, bigger wotld out there than just your lot.
@Paul Brook its because he is one of the people hired by the government to actively comment on issues that divide the collective people, if the group say yes, he will say no, or vice versa. check out his youtube page and that will say a lot to what he is as there will be no content and his page is only created to search through the comment sections. i would wager money on the fact that if you search for videos on governmental issues or madeline mccann or political issues, go through the comments and you will find him there doing the same thing, disagreeing with the collective mass....look at the top of the comments on this video, he is there saying the same thing to someone else, how many times do you need to comment on one video unless you are not commenting on the video but rather commenting on the comments.
I totally agree 👍🏽.
So are lefties like 'scouse git.'
way is everyone having a go at Alf for having very little brass from the uk Goverment? all just because it doesn't run to a small Christmas dinner. that lady asked him if wanted to come round to share theirs but her other half didn't want to do such a thing.
people with no tv licence
dunna fret it can't be the bbc cos it advertises Bells Whisky!
