Product Description
Reigning supreme for almost a decade as ITV's biggest comedian, Arthur Haynes was one of the most influential and popular comics that television has ever seen. His shows remained firmly in the top ten until his untimely death in 1966 robbed the world of a comedy genius. Lack of repeats ensured that subsequent generations were denied Haynes' comedic brilliance until now.
Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight's wickedly funny scripts invariably drew on the familiar class antagonism which he would hone to perfection on Till Death Us Do Part. Haynes' robust working-class delivery was inspired never more so than in the character of Hobo Haynes, a belligerent, heavily decorated tramp fond of recounting tales of patriotic bravery whilst being up to me neck in muck and bullets'.
This third great collection of episodes, this time from 1962, returns him to his rightful place among the comedy greats.

A very underated comic of the 1950s/60s died at his peak the picture and sound quality is first class considering how old these shows are can`t wait for volume 4 to be released with i think the late Wendy Richards appearing in the series this is British Comedy at it`s best.
