Greetings from PG Towers! Join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV Producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we cast our Gaze over controversial UK sitcom 'Till Death Us Do Part'. A moment of popular culture that continues to be divisive to this very day. The character of Alf Garnett holds controversial opinions on immigration, empire, monarchy and politics. Was this satire or far right propaganda on the BBC? With the political climate in the UK and across the globe veering towards the extreme, can we learn a lesson from a 60's sitcom? One things for sure, the more things change, the more they stay the same!
