It would be strange for someone tv watch this episode almost 50 years later. If they knew little about the era when it was made.
It is the beginning of the fifth series and Johnny Speight puts in a lot of tropical references.
Here you have the 3 day week, the Yom Kippur war, petrol prices skyrocketing, the EEC. If I watched this with my children, at least they would had been happy to see footage of Bruce Forsyth presenting The Generation game.
It is all about watching television illegally. Alf Garnett refuses to pay for a licence fee for the liberal BBC with all the sex rubbish they put on.
He is ITV only mistakenly believing that he does not need a licence fee to watch commercial television.
While watching television Alf still gets angered by Mike and Rita. Especially when they do not stay silent for the two minutes silence of Remembrance Sunday.
I did laugh along with this episode. I liked Else claiming that Alf's father was Jewish as he has an anti semitic tirade. This was touched on the previous series when he was mistaken as Jewish by a taxi driver.
I do wonder why Mike felt the need to buy a television licence. At least it saved Alf's bacon.
