In Sickness & In Health – Series One



The classic 1960s and early 70s comedy series Till Death Us Do Part had established Warren Mitchell’s bigoted big-mouth Alf Garnett as one of the most unforgettable figures of British television. Too good a character to leave to posterity, his creator Johnny Speight brought him back – as opinionated, loud-mouthed, bad tempered, reactionary, prudish, homophonic and hilarious as ever...



This 1985 sequel found Alf and Else relocated to a flat in the East End, but the curmudgeonly old git still had plenty to moan about: his pension, the unions, having to push his wheelchair bound wife around and, horror upon horror, their black and gay, council home help, Winston.



Though Alf’s daughter Rita only visits occasionally, Alf finds plenty of people to listen to his rants: his drinking friend Arthur; his constantly exasperated upstairs neighbour Fred Johnson, Else (still “the silly moo”) and, of course, the camp home help, now nicknamed Marigold.
