This programme was the best thing on TV at the time. I remember all the family sitting around the television to watch Alf rant on. Don't think it would go down very well in this day and age though. I've gotta say I miss TV shows like this and In sickness and in health
@@paulkelly5788 let me guess you're white, and said awwite mate to black guy once in the pub and like the occasional curry so definitely never been racist right? 🙄
Terrific. Can’t see the BBC repeating this today! The great Spike Milligan kept popping up in several shows of the 70s in almost the same character. Very good.
SO LOVE THIS HUMOUR, thank you the days of great actors and writers are long gone now, also love spike in curry and chips brilliant, johnny speight great writer

The character Spike Milligan is playing was a Pakistani born of a Pakistani mother and a Irish father and was the first time we saw Kevin O’Grady before Spike went on to do the same character in his own sitcoms “Curry and Chips”
What makes me laugh though, is someone might actually say this sillyness is offensive XD Now that is hilarious! Especially when Indians find it funny too.
@@stevelee4952 no he's not he's fucking miles away, you fucktards didn't even watch the episode, Alf is Jewish ya fuckwit that was the entire point, there's no such thing as true British but retards like you wouldn't get it would you.
@@elizanicholson5346 Warren Mitchell was Jewish , he’s character is poking fun at those that ARE racist and mysogonistic as he is always at the butt of the jokes, also Spike was born in India and representing the country of his birth albeit in a comedic way
yeah, he popped up a few times with Alf Garnett, my favourite was when his truck was parked outside Alf's house and they had a fight in the street, PURE CLASS!!!
Interesting the way the likes of Ben Elton destroyed the career of Benny Hill but claim Spike Milligan as a comedy hero. Apparently, blacking-up and speaking in a "funny" Pakistani accent is just fine with the PC mob.
Thank God for changing times, as I suffered at the hands of National Front thugs and these sorts of humours as a child in the seventies, so I don't really find all this funny at all
That's the trouble with people like you the British sense of humour has been destroyed in which we was know for it's against the law to have a good laugh these days if you don't like it nothing stopping you from switching off or watching something else
Is that you, Meera Syal? If so, you need to be told there's more comedy to be had in these thirty minutes than in the entirety of 'Goodness Gracious Me!'
Racist & hateful thumbnail, “P word” etc. *PAKISTANIS DO NOT SPEAK THAT WAY, NOR LOOK LIKE THAT*. He’s speaking like *INDIAN* people, it’s Indian accent not Pakistani… #UA-cam should take notice…
Maybe that was the joke - Alf says that Pakistan is in India and this annoys PP, who remonstrates that 'Pakistan' is in Pakistan - he then delivers the punchline "It's Bangladesh that's in India" !
Pakistan that discriminatory failed state which perpetrated the largest Jen Oh Side since the Germans in Bangladesh - and was supported in this by the US, Uk and China.
Spike Milligan was an Irishman born in India who could not get a British citizenship despite serving England in the war. The character may have been his idea.

No it wasn’t
@R.G.777. get a grip of yourself. It was a TV show nothing more
@@paulkelly5788 let me guess you're white, and said awwite mate to black guy once in the pub and like the occasional curry so definitely never been racist right? 🙄
So what if it was and why are you trolling the comment section of it then watchin it in secret are we@@R.G.777.
@@R.G.777. It reflected the open racism of its time in trying to show the stupidity of the bigots.
Terrific. Can’t see the BBC repeating this today!

Actually Spike's character in this episode was the very same character featured in 1969's "Curry And Chips" for ITV
@@keithnaylor1981 spike's character was called Paki Paddy
Kevin O'Grady!@@anthonybailey1966

Watching this is sheer bliss...

Brilliant and Una Stubbs was gorgeous
Fuckin, hilarious. Speight got it right every time. Nothing worse than a working class tory.
Oooh there is Martin..... . A working class labour supporter!
This is still the country of her Imperial Majesty, VAT The Queen! Wonder how many people caught the VAT joke?

Excellent acting and script, one of the best!
Very relevant today.

Its sad the world has changed so much for the worst that this wouldn’t be shown again on tv, someone’s feelings might get hurt…
But it is shown right now on That's TV as is It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Benny Hill etc.
Gods sakes cant you Gammons watch anything without whining and complaining?
Brilliant
Was shown last night all the pub scene was cut out,butchered the programme if it offends then DONT WATCH.
@@graemekornicki6810They shouldn't edit it.
I like the way Una Stubbs says Circumcise them 😂
They couldn't make this today, not least of all because there aren't any English people left in the East End. And that isn't a joke.
True in all UK my name my friend gugga ding

Outstanding 👍
we going back to this lol
I really wish we were 😊
Great TV series

Genius
Omg ... even today all this still rings true .... 😅.... we should have had Warren Mitchell in power all those years ago.... tell it how it is 😅
You do understand Alf is a parody. You are meant to laugh at him. He's an idiot. Warren Mitchell in real life was a hardcore socialist
I’m a Tory ?
No, you’re not ‘Alf’
love it
Really funny
If Carlsberg did comedy..good old Alf..
Stealing from the docks started the containers.
Classic comedy 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
4:47 We could say this about rioting blacks these days.
Spike Milligan?
yeah, he popped up a few times with Alf Garnett, my favourite was when his truck was parked outside Alf's house and they had a fight in the street, PURE CLASS!!!
Kevin O’Grady the character got his own series on ITV “Curry and Chips” but it only ran for one series as it was more racist that this
Classic comedy laugh at Alf not with him
Yes youre right. Some dont understand that its satire and only see the hurty words.
It great
This wdnt be made this day can yu imagine everyone wd be up in arms
The son in law was Tony blear miss s dad

Are the police going to arrest UA-cam for allowing content to be shown that could incite racial hatred?
I don’t need to watch this or anything else to incite me any more than I am
Against who? Pakistani-Irishmen?
It’s repeated on That’s TV
@@CricketEngland I'm very far to the right but this is too dated for even me anymore
Can only see half screen of video
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol
Funny how almost everything Alf is whining about ( rightly or wrongly) is still relevent in 2024
Una Stubbs was quite a pretty girl in this.
youtubes policy is crap! can't even talk about a TV episode!
alf garnet wud have a friend in donald trump, build that wall........
I don't think Trump is as racist as Alf tbh - he is, however, a buffoon.
Crossing the limits. Upload 8 years ago with hateful thumbnail. *P* was a hateful, offensive & omitted long b4 8 years….
Maybe if had been generally known that 'Paki' translates to Pure, it would not have carried the same weight when used as a slur.
Interesting the way the likes of Ben Elton destroyed the career of Benny Hill but claim Spike Milligan as a comedy hero. Apparently, blacking-up and speaking in a "funny" Pakistani accent is just fine with the PC mob.
If Brexit had been in the 1970's.

Spike went on to play Kevin O’Grady in his own ITV’s sitcoms Curry And Chips, it only lasted one series as it was considered more racist than this.
