After two years off the air, this sixth and final series of the classic Alf Garnett comedy series was broadcast in 1992. It finds the miserly old whinger, having endured a lifetime of poverty, finally becoming rich. So is he is happy with his new-found wealth? Of course not, it’s Alf! With just his Irish mate Michael and the devout Mrs Hollingbery for company, life is the same old uphill struggle for the curmudgeonly pensioner – only brightened by the news of Mrs Johnson running away with another woman! But, when he finally agrees to move an old wardrobe, Alf is amazed to find a large stash of banknotes.
The old git is about to discover how the other half live – and, thankfully, there is plenty to moan about. Like the problems of being rich in a crime-ridden area, a visit from his batty old neighbour Min and finding out the Inland Revenue are even worse than the DHSS!
Written by Johnny Speight and features a great supporting cast including Arthur English.
Alf Garnet returns as the grumpy, moaning pensioner in Thatcherite Britain.
