"From the BBC with Love", ''The International Jerusalem Post'', 2–8 January 2015, pg. 10.</ref>).

He was interested in acting from an early age and attended Gladys Gordon's Academy of Dramatic Arts in [[Walthamstow]] from the age of seven. He did well at Southgate County School (now [[Southgate School]]),<ref name=Southgate>[http://www.southgatecountyschool.co.uk/pupils.php Southgate School notable pupils: Warren Misell] Retrieved 14 November 2015</ref> a state grammar school at [[Palmers Green]], [[Middlesex]].  He then studied physical chemistry at [[University College, Oxford]], as a [[Royal Air Force]] cadet student<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/news/rip-warren-mitchell/|title=RIP Warren Mitchell|website=University College Oxford}}</ref> on a six-month university short course which the armed services sponsored for potential officers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/nov/14/warren-mitchell|title=Warren Mitchell obituary|date=14 November 2015|website=the Guardian}}</ref> There he met his contemporary, [[Richard Burton]], and together they joined the RAF in October 1944.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/BBCArchive/videos/662833444215017/UzpfSTEwMDg2NTA5Njk1MzE5Njo4NjAxMTY2NDc2OTQ3MDA/|title=Log In |website=facebook.com}}</ref> He completed his navigator training in Canada just as the [[World War II|Second World War]] ended.<ref name=BFI>[http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/465537/index.html BFI screen online biography] accessed 27 June 2007</ref>

His wife, Constance Wake (1928–2017) was a film and TV actress in ''[[Behind the Headlines (1956 film)|Behind the Headlines]]'' (1956 film), ''[[Maigret (1960 TV series)|Maigret]]'' (1960 TV series) and others.

==Career==
Richard Burton's description of the acting profession had convinced him that it would be better than completing his chemistry degree and so Mitchell attended [[Royal Academy of Dramatic Art|RADA]] for two years, performing in the evening with London's [[Unity Theatre, London|Unity Theatre]].{{cn|date=February 2022}} After a short stint as a DJ on [[Radio Luxembourg]], in 1951, Mitchell became a versatile professional actor with straight and comedy roles on stage, radio, film and television. His first broadcast was as a regular on the radio show ''[[Educating Archie]]'', and this led to appearances in both the radio and television versions of ''[[Hancock's Half Hour]]''.{{cn|date=February 2022}}

By the late 1950s, he regularly appeared on television: as [[Sean Connery]]'s trainer in boxing drama ''[[Requiem for a Heavyweight#British television version|Requiem for a Heavyweight]]'' (1957), with [[Charlie Drake]] in the sitcom ''[[Drake's Progress]]'' (BBC, 1957) and a title role in ''Three 'Tough' Guys'' (ITV, 1957), in which he played a bungling criminal. He also appeared in several episodes of ''[[Armchair Theatre]]''. During the first of these, ''[[Underground (1958 TV play)|Underground]]'' (1958), one of the lead actors died during the live performance.<ref>Sweet, Matthew.

His cinema début was in [[Guy Hamilton]]'s ''[[Manuela (1957 film)|Manuela]]'' (1957), and he began a career of minor roles as sinister foreign agents, assisted by his premature baldness and facility with [[Eastern Europe]]an accents. He appeared in ''[[The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone]]'' (1961), the Hammer horror ''[[The Curse of the Werewolf]]'' (1961), ''[[Carry On Cleo]]'' (1964), ''Where Has Poor Mickey Gone?''

In 1965, Mitchell was cast in the role for which he became best known, as the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]]-voting, bigoted [[cockney]] [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] supporter [[Alf Garnett]] in a play for the BBC ''[[Comedy Playhouse]]'' series, broadcast on 22 July 1965. This was the pilot edition of the long-running series ''Till Death Us Do Part'', with [[Gretchen Franklin]], [[Una Stubbs]] and [[Antony Booth]]. The part of Mum, played by Franklin, was recast with [[Dandy Nichols]] in the role when the programme was commissioned as a series.<ref name="smh obit">{{cite news | url = http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/alf-garnett-star-warren-mitchell-dies-20151116-gkznqc.html |title= Alf Garnett star Warren Mitchell dies | newspaper = [[The Sydney Morning Herald]] | date = 16 November 2015 | access-date = 17 November 2015 | first = Chris | last = Moncrieff }}</ref> Mitchell's real life persona was different from Alf Garnett, being Jewish, [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]]-voting and a staunch supporter of [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]]. The show ran from 1966 to 1975, in seven series, making a total of 53 30-minute episodes. While the series aimed to satirise [[racism]], it actually also gained the support of many bigoted racists who perceived Alf as "the voice of reason".<ref>Clark, Anthony.

Mitchell reprised the role of Alf Garnett in the films ''[[Till Death Us Do Part (film)|Till Death Us Do Part]]'' (1969) and ''[[The Alf Garnett Saga]]'' (1972), in the [[Associated Television|ATV]] series ''[[Till Death...]]'' (1981), and in the BBC series ''[[In Sickness and in Health]]'' (1985–92). He also reprised his role as Alf Garnett in 1983 in the television series ''The Main Attraction'' where comedians recreated their famous acts from their past in front of a live and television audience (similar to ''An Audience with...'' that began in 1976). In 1997 he played the role in ''An Audience with Alf Garnett''. The same year, ITV aired a series of mini-episodes called ''A Word With Alf'', featuring Alf and his friends. All the TV shows and both films were written by [[Johnny Speight]]. When Speight died in 1998, the character of Alf Garnett was retired at Mitchell's request.

Mitchell had a long and distinguished career on stage and television. Other small screen roles included a 13-episode series, ''[[Don't Just Lie There, Say Something!#Television|Men of Affairs]]'' with [[Brian Rix]] (ITV, 1973–74), based on the [[West End of London|West End]] hit [[farce]] ''[[Don't Just Lie There, Say Something!]]'' There were also performances in 1975 in ''[[Play for Today]]'' (showing that he could play a serious character role in the episode, ''Moss''<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073408/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_45 Play for Today: Moss] at IMDb</ref>), as William Wardle, a crooked accountant in ''[[The Sweeney]]'' episode ''Big Spender'' ([[Thames Television]] for [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]], 1978), ''[[Lovejoy]]'' (BBC), ''[[Waking the Dead (TV series)|Waking the Dead]]'' (BBC), ''[[Kavanagh QC]]'' ([[ITV Central|Central Television]] for [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]], he played a concentration camp survivor in the episode ''Ancient History''),<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0618988/fullcredits#cast "Kavanagh QC" Ancient History (1997)] at IMDb website.
