Warren Mitchell appears in ‘The Thoughts of Chairman Alf,’ a 1994 recording of his famous stage show that later became a TV series. Mitchell stars as Alf Garnett, the UK’s most reactionary, mean-spirited, selfish, bigoted, racist, misogynistic, and anti-Semitic man. Alf Garnett was a fictional character on the BBC television sitcom Till Death Us Do Part, the ITV sitcom Till Death… and later In Sickness and in Health. First shown in the theatre in 1976, ‘The Thoughts of Chairman Alf’ won the Evening Standard award for best comedy in London’s West End and was snapped up by other theatres. Twenty-two years later, Warren Mitchell reprised the role in Australia in front of a live studio audience as a TV series.

Both DVDs come in new eco-friendly packaging made entirely from cardboard, no plastic parts and are 100% biodegradeable.
