5.0 out of 5 starsYesterday's television
By Michael Pfeiffer on 23 May 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A classic example of how the British could poke fun at their own failings and fears in less PC days and still show tolerance in real life

5.0 out of 5 stars"Till Death Us Do Part” meets "Waiting for Godot”
By P. J. Dunn on 27 Oct. 2015
Format: DVD
Many of us remember the in your face comedy of Johnny Speight’s “Till Death Us Do Part” taking the rise out of racism in the most direct, and often most sweary, fashion possible. This however takes the same critique of racism but puts it into a mass of mostly middle class characters with dialogue and a setting you would normally expect to see and hear in something like Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” or “Endgame”.

Both versions of the play on this disc see a number of comic actors appear including Frank Thornton, Nerys Hughes, Leonard Rossiter, Bob Hoskins, Richard Beckinsale. The second colour version of the play also tries to add some levity with jaunty music, a car shaped grave, and some extra weird rope swinging behaviour by a fluorescent yellow costumed Sexton. However, despite all that, there aren’t many laughs here and there aren’t meant to be, even though some audiences at the time might have been expecting them.

What we do get is a surreal and thought provoking package presented by some of the most interesting actors of the day (including John Castle and Ronald Radd in the 1968 version – just a year after they had both been in the equally surreal TV series The Prisoner).

5.0 out of 5 starsTwo rare and fascinating productions.
By peter holman on 12 Nov. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Two interesting productions of the same play, recorded a few years apart, tackling issues of belief and predjudice the like of which you are unlikely to see on television today.

3.0 out of 5 starsAn oddity of it's time
By Thunder on 23 May 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I bought this really as a historical document. I found it very odd-ball and am still wondering about it. At least when it was produced one could speak one's mind about all and sundry and not be stifled by the wacko PC brigade.
I bought 'Curry and Chips' the same day and it offers a brilliant other view of the subject.
