Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLeft-wing writer Johnny Speight said he wrote the series as a critique on right-wing, working-class bigots such as Garnett. However, many viewers let Speight and Warren Mitchell know they agreed with the character's views. Black comedian Lenny Henry argued that while the series was well-intentioned, having a central character such as Garnett spout prejudice on national television did actually provide fuel for racist bigotry in society.

Featured review
Fantastic show with a superb cast that highlighted the bigoted in society
How anyone from this era can view this show from the 60s as anything other than social comedy is a complete mystery.
The show wasn't bigoted or racist, it shone a light on the very small minority of bigots that existed and their ridiculous views, Warren Mitchell played that bigoted character to perfection and it showed how his character was laughed at for those views.
The majority of bigots are "alf garnets" bad tempered loud mouthy nobody's with a lack of education, this show poked fun at these people.
"Till death us do part" shone a light on this culture, it didn't incite any community to to be racist, it brought this issue into the homes of many and started the conversation, unlike many at that time it didn't ignore or shy away from the problem.
Those that complained didn't have the intelligence to understand this show and it seems there are those that still don't understand, the use of comedy is one of the best ways to highlight social issues.
