Aw, I liked old Alf. Never saw him in much else.

[Baldric]

///He rose to fame for playing the loud-mouthed, chauvinistic, homophobic, sexist and racist Garnett.
Mitchell was in reality a left-wing socialist, the antithesis of the character he immortalised///

I loved his "you silly moo!"

RIP Warren.

Sad news but a good innings for someone who took on such a high profile and controversial role, in the days of three-channel, 20 million ratings TV. Shame on me for thinking he was long gone but I'd missed the news, that day. It would be a pity if it was swamped out by other news of the day so thanks for posting this, Balders.

RIP Warren.

[Baldric]

He will always be remembered as Alf, but there was a lot more to his Career than that

A very very fine actor who will, I hope, be remembered for much more than Alf Garnett.

In the 60s, we went to the same night school , he to learn the trumpet, me to learn cooking. Suffice to say, his lessons paid off , mine did not. I met him many times at the school. He was a lovely man, very quiet , very polite. RIP Mr Mitchell.

In his role as Alf Garnett, he was the spitting image of my Granddad.R I P Warren Mitchell.
