Season 1

Alf waxes lyrical on topics ranging from monarchy to London's traffic; and Margaret Thatcher to modern television.

Alf takes particular interest in the lessons to be learned from Margaret Thatcher's life and premiership in this week's show.

Interracial marriage and the works of William Shakespeare, trainee Labour MPs, and federal Europe are in Alf's targets.

Alf considers how we can live on through films and recordings, and be known by those we've never met; and considers modern pornography and sex scandals.

Topics Alf addresses include the Television Licence; Scottish and Welsh devolution; depressing stories in the news; and adult films in Soho.

Alf talks old age and the DSS; council housing; public transport and the state of living in modern Britain.
