This is an award winning performance from Alf who speaks for all us proud indigenous people of the UK!

[@Zoolukhan]

Don’t have to be a Anglo Saxon to find mr garnet funny

[@terrythekittieful]

I think he speaks for probably 10-15 % of so called indigenous Brits, maybe 20% at best . That's the whole point of the series. He (Alf) is a buffoon who repels most of the people he comes into contact, alebit in the most hilarious ways. Three cheers for the socialist writer, the late great Johhny Speight who gave us this brilliant series, and three cheers for the late great Warren Mitchell, a Jew and a socialist who turned into Alf for our pleasure.

I agree Stewie. Just today there was a story on the Sky News (Murdoch) far right website of mice running loose in a Melbourne hospital. One of the comments blamed the cleaners as 'people from overseas who aren't used to our first world standards'. Right up Alf's alley and just as ignorant.

The BBC can do one, peado protecting wankers, forcing people to pay their TV licences, sending goons round to people’s houses making threats. There should be a channel where you can watch programs like this if you so choose. I like stuff like this, but I’m not knuckle headed enough to expect everyone else to. That would be like forcing everyone to eat marmite because you liked it.
