Hilarious !!!!

I believe it was Alf, in his Audience With, who said that all homosexuals should have a
tattoo on their bum saying 'This is an exit not an entrance'    :)

That was back in the days when we were allowed to decide for ourselves what we thought was funny.

         Seems so long ago now.               :(

A lot of people who watched the programme were too bigoted to realize that it was a send-up/satire of the views of a bigot. This wasn't what Johnny Speigt wanted and it always made me uncomfortable with the programme. Idiots in the pub would be saying in the next day "Did you see what Alf said last night? Bloody right! We should kick all those blackies out of the country".

A lot of people that watched the programme found it very entertaining. That's why it became so popular.
