Warren Mitchell's most famous role was as Alf Garnett in the sitcom Till Death Us Do Part.
Strangely, Mitchell was not the first choice for the role.
Reportedly Peter Sellers and Leo McKern were among those who had already been approached to play Alf Garnett.
Warren Mitchell's character in Till Death Us Do Part was an irascible, right-wing, West Ham fan who was constantly shouting insults at his family and using racist language.
Warren Mitchell, who was trained at RADA, amassed several other credits both in comedies and dramas, as well as the sequel to Till Death Us Do Part, which introduced Alf Garnett's character, In Sickness And In Health.
Warren Mitchell's theatrical work includes his award-winning performance in Arthur Miller's The Price, which toured the UK and was staged at The National Theatre in 2004.
