The Thoughts Of Chairman Alf COMPLETE S01
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0185827/
Britain’s in a state, according to Chairman Alf. Nothing’s what it used to be, not even cricket. The Empire may have crumbled but luckily one man is still willing to take a stand — Chairman Alf. Presenting us with a manifesto to remedy all the nation’s problems, the outspoken star of Till Death Do Us Part and In Sickness and in Health is at his most outrageous ever as, live on stage, he rallies supporters to the cause. Chairman Alf’s single-handed defeat of the West Indies cricket team, his undying support for West Ham, and why sex for pleasure is not for the working class are just some of the topics on the agenda with the chairman.
