Alf did speak for many. And at least it was allowed to be broadcast in those more permissive days. It wouldn't see the light of day now because of censorship. That's far more worrying than whatever came out of Alfs mouth. I thought Alf's wife was brilliant in that series. I've known a dozen women like that in my family alone. Alf's daughter, I wouldnt have kicked her out of bed. She was brilliant as Aunt Sally as well in Worzel Gummidge. Una Stubbs. It’s interesting that you say “ more permissive days”. Alf often mentioned Mary Whitehouse and things like nudity and sex were far more restricted in those days, but anti semitism, racism, homophobia were acceptable. Today it’s reversed. Nudity and sex is acceptable on TV , but if you are accused of being a transphobe, homophobe or racist you will be cancelled in a heartbeat ! Sargent Major “Shut Up “ calling the concert party “ poofs” would never work again ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The old comedians.....Mick Miller, Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson, Les Dawson still,have me pissing myself laughing. I still don't get how the modern comedians suddenly replaced them overnight. PC again. How strange , I was just reading an article last night about that exact same thing . Basically about what happened to all the greats of the telly in the eighties etc .
