That’s TV will air four "lost" episodes of classic sitcom ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ for the first time in 50 years.
Till Death Do Us Part lost episodes will air for the first time in five decades
The channel, which specialises in classic TV, will be showing reruns of the controversial sitcom as part of its upcoming Alf Garnett season.
Fans of the show may well be excited to see bigot Alf, who was played by actor Warren Mitchell, return to screens this Sunday (04.09.22).
‘Till Death Do Us Part’, as well as its spin-off ‘Sickness and In Health’, ran on the BBC from 1966 until 1992. In addition to exploring challenging themes, it was also one of the first comedies to contain swear word “bloody”.
The channel will be broadcasting 80 episodes of the sitcom in total, including four episodes which were believed to be lost since the 1960s.
Kris Vaiksalu, the Head of Programming at That's TV, explained: “At a time of great social change, 'Till Death Us Do Part' set out to challenge ignorance and prejudice and in doing so became one of the most popular sitcoms in British history.
"Alf Garnett’s antics provided compulsive viewing for four decades and That’s TV is excited to have secured the rights to show every season of the show this autumn.
"Whilst only a small number of the episodes from the 1960s still exist, they represent an extraordinary social commentary of the time. These episodes have a special place in television history and are of wider historic significance, with Alf Garnett rallying against the changing attitudes of the 1960s.”
