Cast Warren Mitchell as Alf Garnett Dandy Nichols as Else Garnett Una Stubbs as Rita Rawlins, née Garnett Anthony Booth as Mike Rawlins Joan Sims as Gran Patricia Hayes as Min Reed Alfie Bass as Bert Reed Hugh Lloyd as Wally Carey Pat Coombs as Mrs. Carey Will Stampe as Fred the barman In the Comedy Playhouse pilot, Alf's family name was Ramsey, but the BBC changed his name to Garnett for the subsequent series, to avoid confusion with the England football manager at the time. Film adaptations Two feature films were made based on the series – the first was Till Death Us Do Part (1969), whose first half dealt with the younger Alf and Else during World War II, and whose second half dealt with all the Garnetts in the present day being moved from their East End slum to the new town of Hemel Hempstead, and the adjustments and changes that brought on the family. It gave a nuanced glimpse of British life at the time. The second film, The Alf Garnett Saga (1972), had Adrienne Posta playing the part of Rita and Paul Angelis playing Mike. It is notable for featuring Alf Garnett on an LSD trip. DVD releases In the UK, Network previously released the first two colour series (4 and 5) on DVD, but these releases are now discontinued, as the licence has since expired, and rights have reverted to BBC Worldwide, who release their titles through 2 Entertain. On 5 December 2016, Network, under licence with BBC Worldwide and 2 Entertain, released the whole colour series (4 to 7), along with every surviving episode from the black-&-white series (1 to 3) and off-air remastered audio recordings of all lost episodes, on DVD as an eight-disc box-set included with a detailed booklet which includes black-and-white and colour photographs, a "story of" and a full list of episode synopses. The episode Sex Before Marriage, recovered in 2017, was included as an extra on Network's 2019 release of the first film on both DVD and Blu-Ray. The fourth series was available in the United States and Canada, having been released before the Network edition and featuring some title sequence variations. The 1969 movie is available in both the UK and the US, but the 1972 movie is only available on DVD via bootlegs. All six series and the Christmas specials of In Sickness and in Health
