British TV sitcom (BBC1, 1985–92)
"In Sickness and in Health" – британский телевизионный ситком, который транслировался на BBC с 1 сентября 1985 года по 3 апреля 1992 года. Это продолжение успешного сериала "До скончания дней наших", который выходил с 1966 по 1975 год, и сериала "До смерти", состоявшего из одного сезона, включавшего шесть эпизодов в 1981 году. Сериал состоит из 47 эпизодов, и, в отличие от предшественника, все эпизоды сохранились и доступны на DVD. Заглавную тему шоу исполнили Чейс и Дэйв, и использовались две версии текста: оригинальная – в первом сезоне, а затем переработанная, начиная со второго сезона, чтобы отразить смерть персонажа Элси Гарнетт. Текст песни был изменен еще раз для эпизодов, действие которых происходит в Австралии в четвертом сезоне.
In Sickness and in Health is a BBC television sitcom that ran between 1 September 1985 and 3 April 1992. It is a sequel to the successful Till Death Us Do Part, which ran between 1966 and 1975, and Till Death , which ran for one series of six episodes in 1981. The series includes 47 episodes, and, unlike its predecessor, all the episodes have survived and are available on DVD. The show's theme tune was performed by Chas and Dave and two versions of the lyrics were used – the original version in Series 1 and then revised from Series 2 onward to reflect the Else Garnett character's death. The lyrics were changed again for the episodes set in Australia during the fourth series.
Серия 1 (1985)
Этот комедийный сериал дебютировал в 1985 году и перенес бывших персонажей сериала «До смерти нас не разлучит» Альфа Гарнетта (Уоррен Митчелл) и его жену Элсу (Дэнди Николс) из их дома в Уэппинге в однокомнатную квартиру эконом-класса в Вест-Хэме. Эльза теперь пользуется инвалидной коляской из-за ухудшения здоровья Дэнди Николс в реальной жизни. Совет отправляет чернокожего гея по имени Уинстон (Эмонн Уокер) для выполнения домашней работы и помощи в уходе за Элсой. Несмотря на двойные предрассудки Альфа по отношению к Уинстону, со временем они привыкают друг к другу, и Уинстон берет Альфа на матч его любимого «Вест Хэм Юнайтед». Однако Альф дает Уинстону прозвище «Мериголд». Дочь Альфа и Эльсы, Рита (Уна Стуббс), теперь живет со своим мужем Майком в его родном Ливерпуле и часто навещает родителей, хотя Майк не появляется (поскольку Энтони Бут не захотел вновь исполнять эту роль). Обычно Альф выпивает со своим другом Артуром (Артур Инглиш) в местном пабе. Несмотря на то, что его любимая Консервативная партия вернулась к власти, Альф недоволен тем, что Маргарет Тэтчер стала премьер-министром, поскольку, по его мнению, «женщине место дома». Он также расстроен тем, что Эльсе нужна инвалидная коляска, и тем, что ему приходится возить ее повсюду, а также тем, что после всей жизни тяжелой работы и уплаты взносов в систему социального обеспечения ему приходится бороться за достойное пособие. По соседству живет Фред Джонсон (Кен Кэмпбелл), такой же упрямый, как Альф, с которым он редко ладит. Когда Джонсон злится, он бьет головой о стену. Его жена (впервые сыграла Эйлин Кеннелли, с 1-го по 3-й эпизоды, затем Трисия Келли в 4-м и 5-м эпизодах и Ивонн Д’Альпра в 6-м эпизоде) страдает от тревожности. Большая часть комедии, связанная с Джонсонами, основана на симпатии миссис Джонсон к Альфу, которая часто позволяет ему собой манипулировать, к большому огорчению мистера Джонсона.
This comedy series debuted in 1985 and took the former Till Death Us Do Part characters Alf Garnett (Warren Mitchell) and his wife Else (Dandy Nichols) from their Wapping house to a lower class one level flat in West Ham. Else now uses a wheelchair due to Nichols' real life ill health. The council sends a black, gay man named Winston (Eamonn Walker), to do the housework and help care for Else. Despite Alf's dual prejudices against Winston, eventually the two become used to one another, and Winston takes Alf to watch his beloved West Ham United. Nevertheless, Alf gives Winston the nickname "Marigold". Alf and Else's daughter Rita (Una Stubbs) now lives with her husband Mike in his hometown of Liverpool and often visits her parents, although Mike does not appear (as Antony Booth had no interest in reprising the role). Usually, Alf is seen drinking with his friend Arthur (Arthur English) in the local pub. Although his beloved Conservative Party has returned to power, Alf is not happy with Margaret Thatcher being Prime Minister because, according to him, "a woman's place is in the home". He is also unhappy about Else needing to use a wheelchair and the fact he has to push her around everywhere and that, after a lifetime of hard work and paying contributions to the Welfare State, he has to fight the social security system for a decent living allowance. Across the road lives Fred Johnson (Ken Campbell), a man stubborn like Alf, with whom he rarely gets along. When angry, Johnson bumps his head on the wall. His wife (first played by Eileen Kennally, from Series 1 to 3, then by Tricia Kelly in Series 4 and 5, and Yvonne D'Alpra in Series 6) suffers from anxiety. Much of the comedy surrounding the Johnsons is based on Mrs. Johnson's sympathy towards Alf, often letting him walk all over them and much to the anger of Mr. Johnson. Episode First broadcast Description1 1 September 1985 The Garnetts are back in London. Else is severely arthritic and can barely walk and Alf extols the joys of the wheelchair he has got her, that is until he has to push her around in it. However Alf does find that the chair does come in handy for getting him on the front row at football matches of his beloved West Ham United although his response to a home win reveals that he is using it fraudulently.2 8 September 1985 Alf complaining about his failing eye sight he takes his wife out in her wheelchair and buys her an ice cream cornet whilst avoiding giving money to the local vicar. However his poor sight proves his undoing when he accidentally goes into a ladies' toilet and is arrested as a sex pest.3 15 September 1985 Having scrubbed the hall floor and disapproved of Else's using the milkman to place her bets, Alf feels that they are entitled to a home help but manages to antagonise three women home helps in succession. Returning from the pub he finds that the 4th home help is Winston, an extremely flamboyant gay black man who will clearly take no nonsense from him.4 29 September 1985 Alf tries the patience of his neighbours Fred Johnson by using their phone to make a very long winded long distance call to his daughter Rita. After expounding upon funerals in the pub Alf repays Fred by buying him so many drinks he falls over but Alf's homeward progress pushing Else in her wheelchair also ends in drunken calamity.5 6 October 1985 Alf's daughter Rita comes to visit and no sooner is she home Alf argues with her about her mother Else. Alf criticises Margaret Thatcher, claiming that no woman should be prime minister so Else and Rita gang up against him with Winston, who brings an equally camp friend home to throw a party for Rita. Alf is given extremely strong drink so which causes Alf to pass out while the others continue to party.6 13 October 1985 Alf is tired of pushing Else around in her chair and he feels she should have an electric scooter instead but they cost £2500 and the lady at the Social Security office tells Alf that as long as he is around to push his wife, Else cannot have one. Using an idea from some kids with a go kart Alf adds a lawn mower engine to Else's chair, which goes out of control foiling a bank robbery and landing him in hospital. Alf is declared a hero but following Winston's view that the robbers' accomplices may be out to get him Alf ultimately decides it is best to remain anonymous.
Эпизод. Дата первого эфира. Описание.
1. 1 сентября 1985 года. Гарнетты вернулись в Лондон. Эльза страдает тяжелым артритом и едва может ходить, а Альф восхваляет удобство инвалидной коляски, которую он ей купил, пока ему не приходится ее толкать. Однако Альф обнаруживает, что коляска очень пригодится, чтобы занимать места в первом ряду на футбольных матчах его любимого «Вест Хэм Юнайтед», хотя его реакция на домашнюю победу показывает, что он использует ее нечестно.
2. 8 сентября 1985 года. Жалуясь на ухудшение зрения, Альф выводит жену на инвалидной коляске и покупает ей рожок мороженого, избегая при этом давать деньги местному викарию. Однако его плохое зрение становится его роковой ошибкой, когда он случайно заходит в женский туалет и его арестовывают как сексуального хулигана.
3. 15 сентября 1985 года. После мытья пола в коридоре и неодобрения использования Эльсой услуг разносчика молока для размещения ставок, Альф считает, что они заслуживают помощи по дому, но умудряется рассорить трех подрядчиц. Вернувшись из паба, он обнаруживает, что четвертой помощницей по хозяйству является Уинстон – чрезвычайно эксцентричный чернокожий гей, который явно не потерпит от него глупостей.
4. 29 сентября 1985 года. Альф испытывает терпение своих соседей, Фреда Джонсона, используя их телефон для очень долгого междугороднего звонка своей дочери Рите. После рассуждений о похоронах в пабе Альф отплачивает Фреду, угощая его таким количеством выпивки, что тот падает, но возвращение Альфа домой, толкающего Эльзу в инвалидной коляске, также заканчивается пьяным бедствием.
5. 6 октября 1985 года. Дочь Альфа, Рита, приезжает в гости, и едва она успевает прийти домой, как Альф ссорится с ней из-за своей матери, Эльзы. Альф критикует Маргарет Тэтчер, утверждая, что ни одна женщина не должна быть премьер-министром, поэтому Эльза и Рита объединяются против него с Уинстоном, который приводит домой такого же экстравагантного друга, чтобы устроить вечеринку для Риты. Альфу дают очень крепкий напиток, из-за которого он теряет сознание, пока остальные продолжают веселиться.
6. 13 октября 1985 года. Альф устал толкать Эльзу в коляске и считает, что ей нужен электрический скутер, но они стоят 2500 фунтов стерлингов, и сотрудница офиса социального обеспечения говорит Альфу, что пока он рядом, чтобы толкать жену, Эльза не может его получить. Вдохновившись идеей ребят с картингом, Альф прикрепляет двигатель газонокосилки к коляске Эльзы, которая выходит из-под контроля, срывает ограбление банка и попадает в больницу. Альфа объявляют героем, но, прислушавшись к мнению Уинстона о том, что сообщники грабителей могут охотиться за ним, Альф в конечном итоге решает остаться анонимным.

Отмена
29 сентября 1993 года, несмотря на обсуждение планов по седьмому сезону, BBC закрыла шоу из-за поведения Альфа.
On 29 September 1993, despite talks about the 7th series going forward, the show got axed by the BBC due to Alf's behaviour.
После отмены
Уоррен Митчелл продолжал выступать в роли Альфа Гарнетта в особых случаях: на сцене перед живой публикой и перед приглашенными зрителями, в основном состоящими из знаменитостей и общественных деятелей. В 1997 году для телеканала Granada Television было организовано несколько специальных выпусков, в которых Альф находился в своей гостиной в компании миссис Холлингбери или в пабе с приятелем. Сценарии написаны Джонни Спейтом, и Альф теперь ворчит по поводу возвращения к власти Лейбористской партии при Тони Блэре. После смерти Джонни Спейта в 1998 году Уоррен Митчелл решил больше не играть Альфа.
Warren Mitchell would continue to perform as Alf Garnett on special occasions; this meant on stage in front of a live audience, and similarly to an invited audience consisting largely of celebrities and public figures. In 1997, a number of special shows were arranged for Granada Television, in which Alf would be in his front room in the company of Mrs Hollingberry or in the pub with a drinking partner. The material was written by Johnny Speight and Alf now grumbles about the Labour Party being returned to power under Tony Blair. After Johnny Speight's death in 1998, Warren Mitchell decided that he no longer wanted to play Alf.
Международные версии
В 1991 году голландская версия сериала In voor en tegenspoed ("В хорошие и плохие времена") дебютировала на голландском телевидении. Согласно финальным титрам, только первые 12 эпизодов основаны на оригинальных сценариях Спейта. Следующие две серии эпизодов были написаны Полом Яном Нелиссеном и Марком Нелиссеном. Голландский Альф Гарнетт – Фред Шуит (в исполнении Рийка де Гойера). Он живет в Амстердаме, болеет за АФК "Аякс", пьет дженевер в лечебных целях и не доверяет телевизорам, если они не произведены в Эйндховене. Сериал был удостоен двух наград Голландской киноакадемии.
In 1991 a Dutch version of the series, In voor en tegenspoed ("In good times and in bad"), debuted on Dutch TV. According to the end credits only the first 12 episodes are based on Speight's original scripts. Two more series of episodes were written by Paul Jan Nelissen and Marc Nelissen. The Dutch Alf Garnett is called Fred Schuit (played by Rijk de Gooyer). He lives in Amsterdam, supports AFC Ajax, drinks jenever for medicinal reasons, and does not trust a TV set unless it is made in Eindhoven. The series was awarded two Awards of the Dutch Academy.
