Wonderful British Character Actor Warren MItchell has passed away at the age of 89.
Probably best remembered across the pond for playing Alf Garrett in Johnny Speight's TILL DEATH US DO PART, the show that was adapted by Norman Lear over here into ALL IN THE FAMILY, but Archie Bunker never held a candle to Alf Garrett, who was never made so cute and cuddly that the conservatives and racists tuned in to agree with him. Here's an episode to give you an idea:

Rest in peace Warren.
