Bigoted East Ender Alf Garnett rails against the world in endless arguments with his family: his "silly old moo" wife Elsie, their daughter Rita, and her "Scouse git" husband Mike.
Till Death Us Do Part aired on BBC1 from 1965 to 1975. It first aired as a Comedy Playhouse pilot, the series aired for seven series until 1975. Six years later, ITV continued the sitcom, calling it Till Death.... From 1985 to 1992, the BBC produced a sequel In Sickness and in Health.
Created by Johnny Speight, Till Death Us Do Part centred on the East End Gartnett family, led by Alf Garnett (Warren Mitchell), a white working-class racist anti-Socialist man. His long-suffering Else was played by Dandy Nichols, and his daughter Rita by Una Stubbs. Rita's layabout husband Mike Rawlins (Antony Booth) is a socialist. The character Alf Garnett became a well known character in British culture, and Mitchell played him on stage and television up until 1998, when Speight died.
In addition to the spin-off In Sickness and in Health, Till Death Us Do Part was re-made in many countries, from the United States, to Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong and The Netherlands. Many episodes from the first series are thought to no long exist, having been wiped as was the policy at the time.
