==History==

===Cancellation===
On 29 September 1993, despite talks about the 7th series going forward, the show got axed by the BBC due to Alf's behaviour.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/914632890/?terms=IN%20SICKNESS%20AND%20IN%20HEALTH%20ALF&match=2 | title=Daily Express 29 Sep 1993, page 7 }}</ref>

===After the cancellation===
Warren Mitchell would continue to perform as Alf Garnett on special occasions; this meant on stage in front of a live audience, and similarly to an invited audience consisting largely of celebrities and public figures.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Anderson |first=Bill |date=12 November 1998 |title=Thourghts of Chairman Alf |pages=19 |work=The Stage |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0001637/19981112/135/0019}}</ref>

In 1997, a number of special shows were arranged for [[Granada Television]], in which Alf would be in his front room in the company of Mrs Hollingberry or in the pub with a drinking partner. The material was written by [[Johnny Speight]] and Alf now grumbles about the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] being returned to power under [[Tony Blair]].{{citation needed|date=February 2023}}

After Johnny Speight's death in 1998, Warren Mitchell decided that he no longer wanted to play Alf.{{citation needed|date=February 2023}}

===International versions===
In 1991 a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] version of the series, ''In voor en tegenspoed'' ("In good times and in bad"), debuted on Dutch TV. According to the end credits only the first 12 episodes are based on Speight's original scripts. Two more series of episodes were written by [[Paul-Jan Nelissen]] and [[Marc Nelissen]]. The Dutch Alf Garnett is called Fred Schuit (played by [[Rijk de Gooyer]]).<ref>''Dutch version'' {{IMDb title|0101125|In voor- en tegenspoed}}</ref> He lives in Amsterdam, supports [[AFC Ajax]], drinks [[jenever]] for medicinal reasons, and does not trust a TV-set unless it is made in [[Philips|Eindhoven]].
