    That name Kingsley is saying around 5:20 is Alf Garnett -- the main character in the British comedy series 'Til Death Us Do Part,' from which the U.S. series 'All in the Family' was derived. (So I guess that would mean Alf Garnett was the British Archie Bunker.)

    He's wrong about the British not being entranced by indigenous gangsters. There were a series of gangster movies and television series in the 1950's to the 1990's that were all white working class men who were redeemable in that they aspired to the middle classes.
