'''''Till Death...''''' is a British sitcom of six episodes that was produced by [[Associated Television|ATV]] and aired on [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] from 22 May to 3 July 1981. It is a continuation of the [[BBC]] sitcom ''[[Till Death Us Do Part]]'' that aired from 1965 to 1975. The title was changed to ''Till Death...'' because the title ''Till Death Us Do Part'' was controlled by the BBC.

==Series==
The show saw the return of [[East End]] bigot [[Alf Garnett]] ([[Warren Mitchell]]). He and his wife Else ([[Dandy Nichols]]) have now retired to [[Eastbourne]]. They are sharing a bungalow with Min ([[Patricia Hayes]]) following the death of her husband Bert. Mike and Rita, characters from ''Till Death Us Do Part'', were no longer main characters. [[Una Stubbs]] returned for three episodes as Rita together with her son Michael, but although her layabout husband Mike was talked about, he was never seen.

Michael (born in ''Till Death Us Do Part'' in September 1972) had seemingly become a victim of [[soap opera rapid aging syndrome]] as he had reached the age of 16 and become a punk rocker, much to Alf's dismay.

The show was not as successful as its predecessor, mainly because of the huge differences from ''Till Death Us Do Part''. When ATV's successor, [[ITV Central|Central Television]], began transmission in 1982, they came to the decision to discontinue the series.
