SCROLL DOWN AND CLICK ON THE "ADD COMMENT" BUTTON! 5 Mar 2008 - Else Garnett Elsie Garnett is my new adopted name on Stickam for no particular reason. Here is the blurb from Wikipedia: Till Death Us Do Part (also known as Til Death Us Do Part) was a BBC television sitcom series written by Johnny Speight that ran from 1966 until 1975. The programme starred Warren Mitchell as the racist East End misogynist (and Rudyard Kipling lookalike) Alf Garnett. Also appearing in the series were Dandy Nichols as Alf's long-suffering wife, Else Garnett, Una Stubbs as Rita, his daughter, and Anthony Booth as Mike, his layabout son-in-law, whose socialist leanings were the cue for many of Alf's more offensive outbursts. The series was remade in the United States as the enormously successful sitcom All in the Family (1971–79), in Brazil (1972-75) as A Grande Família ("The Big Family"), in Germany (1973–76) as Ein Herz und eine Seele ("One Heart and One Soul") and in Hong Kong (1994–96) as Sei Hoi Yut Gar ("All in a Family"). I would like to add the following useless information: 1 - I think the music group The Monkees made a song called Randy Scouse Git but how many Monkees fans know of Alf Garnett and his way of addressing Scouser Mike in the series as "Randy Scaaas Git", I wonder? Alf calls Mike a Scaaas Git on the first clip below.... 2 - The two ladies waving to the Beatles in their film "Help!" - Dandy Nichols and Gretchen Franklin (later known for her role in popular British soap EastEnders) BOTH played the character of Elsie! 3 - Una Stubbs was, and probably still is, a great friend of Cliff Richard - they worked together in films, Una was a talented dancer/actress. 4 - Anthony Booth (Mike) is the father of Cherie Booth, wife of Tony Blair British ex-Prime Minister. 5 - Anthony Booth was also the ("real life") partner of Coronation Street favourite Pat Phoenix (who played ELSIE Tanner). 6 - Til Death Us Do Part is not known to many of the Americans who regularly watched All In The Family - a remake. 7 - The writer of Til Death Us Do Part - Johnny Speight - worked alongside a couple of my favourites, Eric Sykes and Spike Milligan, at their writers' co-operative, Associated London Scripts. Here, just so you can get an idea of Else and the Garnett family are some short youtube clips. Enjoy! (Update: I just found another clip, related to the one below it...)
