<P> Patricia Hayes, who had been seen from time to time previously as next - door neighbour Min, became a starring character along with her husband Bert, previously played by Bill Maynard and now by Alfie Bass . The show's rating began to suffer and when it was clear Nichols was not returning as hoped by the writers, in 1975, the series was dropped . The final episode saw Alf lose his job and receive a telegram from Else asking for a divorce . </P> <P> As with most BBC sitcoms Till Death Us Do Part was recorded before a live studio audience . The programmes were recorded onto 2 - inch Quadruplex videotape . From 1966 to 1968 the show was transmitted in black and white . When the series returned in 1972, it was transmitted in colour . The opening titles / end credits of the first colour episodes originally used the b / w sequence from the' 60s tinted in red, as seen on UKTV Gold repeats in 2006 . </P> <P> The house seen in the opening and closing titles to the 1960s episodes was located on Garnet Street in Wapping (from where writer Johnny Speight took the Garnett family name). This terrace was demolished in the 1980s, a terrace of newer multicoloured homes and an estate agents taking their place . They are located on Garnet Street in close proximity to the local Wallace James shop, St Peter's Primary School, Gastronomica bar, Docklands General Store and Crane Wharf . </P> <P> Most of the show's 26 episodes from series 1--3 that were videotaped in black and white and broadcast 1965--68 no longer exist; they were wiped by the BBC during the late 1960s and early' 70s . Currently, most material from twelve episodes still survives, with one episode on the original tape and the rest on film or domestic formats . The surviving 1960s B&W episodes are: "Arguments, Arguments"; "A House With Love In It"; "Intolerance"; "Peace & Goodwill"; "In Sickness and In Health"; "State Visit"; "Alf's Dilemma"; "Till Closing Time Do Us Part"; "The Phone"; "The Blood Donor"; and "Aunt Maud". Sequences exist from: the pilot episode; "Sex Before Marriage"; "The Bulldog Breed"; "A Wapping Mythology (The Workers' King)"; and "The Puppy". </P>
