* IronyAsSheIsCast: Alf, a right-wing anti-Semite, was played by Creator/WarrenMitchell, who had left-wing views and was Jewish. This gets even more interesting when you take [[UsefulNotes/BritishFootyTeams football allegiances]] into account, for the West Ham United-supporting Alf was often disdainful of Tottenham Hotspur, on account of their supposed reputation as a 'Jewish' team ... and Mitchell was a Spurs fan.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original ''Comedy Playhouse'' pilot, Alf's surname was Ramsey. This was changed to avoid confusion with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Ramsey the then manager of the England football team]].
