Till Death Us Do Part was a BBC television comedy series written by Johnny Speight and starring Warren Mitchell as the racist East End misogynist, Alf Garnett. Also appearing in the series were Dandy Nichols as Alf's long-suffering wife, Else, Una Stubbs as his daughter and Anthony Booth as his son-in-law, whose socialist leanings were the cue for many of Alf's more offensive outbursts. The series was remade in the U.S. as All in the Family.

It was a series which addressed racial issues at a particularly difficult time in British society. Some viewers consider the series an uncomfortable and disturbing series to watch because of the ambivalence of its political position.
