A classic comedy! - By: David Addison, 18 Jul 2008 
The PC brigade reallly have a lot to answer for.If they looked more closely at this,they surely would have realised that we were laughing AT Alf's extremist views.There was no way,that we would laugh with him.They should have also seen,that he always ended up with egg on his face,and paid for it accordingly! Sadly,the PC idiots just didn't want to see that.I reallly hope more are released on DVD soon,its a great favourite & a classic!

Alf Garnett at his best - By: E. Dale, 18 Mar 2007 
In this series we find The Garnett household comedicallly at odds with one another. The Silly old moo always seems to get the better of him & as for that scouse git who married his little girl, well..what an idiot Alf thinks he is a labour supporting non-royalist where as Alf has always voted Tory & loves the Royal family, why he even stand to attention when hearing the National anthem...cue lots of laughs.
Classic sit-com at its finest? - By: James Hayes, 01 Feb 2005 'Till Death Us Do Part' returned to BBC-TV screens after a four-year break with its first colour series. Although now into a new decade, Alf Garnett's rants & rails against the world remained undiminished; & time since 1972 has done nothing to diminish Warren Mitchell's superb performances & Johnny Speight's crackling & provocative scripts (many of the topical references still apply today!). This is classic situation comedy of the finest order, with excellent ensemble support from Nichols/Booth/Stubbs, & guesting second bananas like Joan Sims, Bill Maynard & Roy Kinnear. Let's not forget Dennis Main Wilson's production which surelty added much to the programme's polished presentation.
There are some naff bits - Spike Milligan's Indian 'impersonation' ('Holiday In Bournemouth' episode) wasn't funny even 30-odd years ago, & one suspects they knew it, but he was Speight's mate, so it got in. The 'Up The Hammers' episode is also worth viewing for the almost agonising scene when Rita thinks that her new baby has been snatched (the baby has, in fact, been taken by Alf to a West Ham soccer match, & is offered neat Scotch amidst the terrace crowd). TDUDP sometimes strayed into tragi-comedy with startling results, & this is one of the best examples.
The picture/sound quality of these recordings is very good for early-1970s PAL - certainly superior to what most viewers saw at the time of first broadcast. The only carp reallly is the dearth of extras of the kind that accompanied the later Complete 1974 Series DVD issue. The 1972 Christmas Special is included, but this reallly counts as an addition to the series at hand, as it went out not long after the last episode here.
As good as ever! - By: DONALD L WALKER, 10 Jun 2004 The "Thoughts of Chairman Alf" are alive & well in these episodes. A person who can only be callled a racist, biggot & drunkard - he & the rest of the cres are brilliant. Take him in the way it was intended - a pure bit of fun - dont get hung up on what we would now calll a "politicallly incorrect" script. It is brilliant & the memories of 30 years ago come flooding back.
