The racist Alf Garnett is getting a rare outing on 'That's TV' at 9pm this week. Brave of them to rescreen this....
(We are of course laughing at Alf not with him ! )
Unfortunately 'Thats TV' is not on VM, but is on Freeview/Sky.
Wonder if they're tempted by 'Love Thy Neighbour' ?

You were always laughing at Eddie in LTN, and he usually came off worse as well.
You can see a lot of episodes on You Tube, and I think its on DVD as well.

Re: Till Death Us do Part
It's why films like Blazing Saddles wouldn't get made today. It contains racism but uses humour to show how wrong/silly it is. You can only show racism in more serious context and the struggle against it. If humour is involved it tends to be more vicious and itself racist but since it targets majority/powerful groups it's a social comment.
