History Series / TillDeathUsDoPart

'''''[='Till Death Us Do Part=]''''' is a British situation comedy created by Johnny Speight. The series centered on Alf Garnett (Warren Mitchell), a highly conservative, working-class man who espouses racist and anti-socialist views, and his family consisting of his long-suffering wife Else (Dandy Nichols), his more open-minded daughter Rita (Una Stubbs) and her lazy socialist husband Mike Rawlins (Anthony Booth). Alf and Mike regularly clashed over their opposing world-views, representing the generation gap between younger, more left-wing British citizens and older, right-wing citizens as well as addressing the increasingly prevalent political issues in British society.

* HatesEveryoneEqually: Alf. The only reason he voted Conservative was that he didn't hate them as much as he loathed the Labour party (believing them to to merely pretend to represent the working classes, whilst "all they would do when in power is feather their own nests").

* StayInTheKitchen. Alf was of this opinion, to the point of disliking UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher purely of his firm belief in the notion of a woman's place being in the kitchen, "chained to the bloody kitchen sink".

The series aired on [[Creator/TheBBC BBC1]] from 22 July, 1965 to 16 December, 1975. There followed a continuation series (''Till Death...'') on Creator/{{ITV}} in 1981 and a sequel (''In Sickness and in Health'') on the BBC which ran from 1985 to 1992. Alf Garnett became an iconic figure in British culture and Mitchell would continue playing the character on stage until Spieght's death in 1998.

* TheMovie: Most British sitcoms of this era got at least one. This one got ''two'' -- ''Till Death Us Do Part'' (1969), in which Alf and Elsie's younger years are explored, and ''The Alf Garnett Saga'' (1972), notable for Alf inadvertently [[MushroomSamba tripping on LSD]]. Ray Davies of Music/TheKinks did the theme tune for the former.

* StrawCharacter: Much like Archie Bunker after him in the States, Alf Garnett was a racist, borderline anti-Semitic idiot whom the audience was meant to laugh at and disagree with. However it backfired, as he became an idol to people who seemed to miss that fact that he was created, scripted and acted by ''Jews''.
