Warren & Johnny would understand but sometimes despair at how Alf was laughed with and not at by certain viewers. As Warren was the complete opposite of Alf & just summed him up as a shouter. When Johnny died , Warren quite rightly decided not to do Alf anymore.

@MrBoybergs5 жыл бұрын
@James Henderson The point of the programme was to satire/ridicule racism, not pander to it. Warren Mtchel and Johnny Speight (the writer) were both perfectly clear when asked about this. Speight once said "I didn't create Alf Garnett. Society created him. I just reported him. I'm a grass" The fact that many bigots saw Garnett as a hero is a sad reflection on them and not the creators of the show.

There's a German version of this series. Not a dub, but a full blown spin-off, with German actors, German jokes and German themes. It's called "Ein Herz und eine Seele" (literally: One Heart and One Soul") and has since become a staple of German television. Alf Garnett became Alfred Tetzlaff, aka "Ekel Alfred" (Nasty Alfred), a narrow minded, conservative tyrant, who's modeled after Adolf Hitler. His daughter dates a boy from the GDR (It was the 70s after all) and he always butts heads with him, about themes like the chancellor (at that time, a man from the socialdemocratic party) or how everything was better when he was in the Wehrmacht. The most iconic episode of the show is undoubtedly "Der Sylvesterpunsch" (The New Year's Eve punch), where Alfred tries to make punch on sylvester, but his wife constantly confuses it with bole, eventually making him go nuts with rage. Another aspect of this episode, which shows the connection between it and its british origin: Alfred insults his wife as a "dusselige Kuh", which is basically a literal translation of Alf's "you silly moo".

The fact that 50 years later, working-class and lower-middle class people still haven't figured it out, is testament to its power. The progressives and educated classes understood from the beginning, that this is absolutely anti-racist social engineering accomplished by association of the negative behaviour, with a small, ignorant and ridiculous man of an older generation.

In 21st century Britain it's easy to think the antics of Johnny Speight's characters as outlandish and purely a product of his imagination. However he was writing what you could observe everyday in real life. Johnny Speight was an accurate reporter of society and human behaviour. In the past I met many people exactly like his characters, and heard bizarre debates and conversations he could easily have written.
The whole point was Alf always came off 2nd best, to the people he verbally abused, which if you noticed, was everyone and not just one race, the whole thing was taking the piss out of ourselves. It was no different with love thy neighbour, the black guy always won , again taking the piss out of ourselves.

Satire at its best. I remember my dad thinking it was hilarious and I was thinking this sounds just like my dad. It was a great way to not only show what the attitude of people was in that generation, but also demonstrate how wrong it was by using this character. We find him funny, but one only has to look in the mirror to see part of him in yourself. Fortunately a lot of people are far more tolerant thesedays, but sadly I know some people who are still exactly like the character. Perhaps showing some more of the Alf Garnet comedy would make them think again at how ridiculous they are. A true genius (along with the writers) for entertaining at the same time as making a generation look at themselves.

The best way to deliver a lie has always been to surround it in truth. This show was not made to entertain but to socially engineer, which it accomplished. Speight managed to turn anyone supporting nationalist politics, or objecting to mass immigration, into an object of ridicule,. He made supporting such policies social suicide "oh it's Alf Garnett, haha!"

@James Henderson because people started to lack discernment and judgement. We were stopped from being able to make informed choices, and the lowest common denominator was assumed to be the whole.

@James Henderson oh give up. And the abuse stopped once the series was not being shown did it? Or abuse doesn't exist now as the show hasn't been on for however many years? Children will always be "abused" (I used to call it bullying myself), for some reason, people have never needed a TV show as an excuse.
