Press clippings
Were some of the greats really that offensive?
Offensive or just harmless fun? Perhaps we have just changed as a society and comedy may never be the same again.
British Classic Comedy, 1st May 2021Written by Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight, ITV's notorious, short-lived 1969 sitcom centred around the workers of a factory named Lillicrap Ltd. It starred a blacked-up Spike Milligan as an Asian immigrant named Kevin O'Grady (his workmates dubbed him 'P*ki P*ddy'). Speight maintains that he was challenging racism, but some felt the programme reinforced it.
