Shut up you silly Moo..

Farewell Warren and Alf.

A good age, he was a good laugh as Alf Garnet, the archetypical un-PC hellraiser pensioner but so much more than that, a friend of Richard Burton, and a member of the British Humanist Association.

RIP Warren and thanks for the laughs.

Another sad loss indeed, RIP Alf Garnet.

A lot of people criticised Johnny Speight for writing the character of Alf Garnett, completely missing the point that he was intended as a sexist racist fool, goading his increasingly exasperated family with outrageous pronouncements.

Warren Mitchell brought Alf Garnett hilariously to life with his acting genius. Bless him.
