The Thoughts of Chairman Alf
Produced in the late 1990s, this series saw Alf Garnett Johnny Speight's legendary sitcom creation who remained an acerbic barometer of contemporary mores and morals for four decades wrestling with the pressing issues of the day in typically controversial fashion! Featuring wickedly funny scripts from Speight who delighted in attacking all kinds of prejudice with razor-sharp satire The Thoughts of Chairman Alf stars Warren Mitchell as the infamously bigoted East Ender first introduced in the BBC's Till Death Us Do Part, who over six mock-Q&A-style shows is given another chance to air his dubious philosophy only partially curtailed by late '90s political correctness...
