After a life extremely well lived, Norman Lear has died.

The producer – who made TV topical in the 1970s with the sitcom “All In The Family” – died last night at the age of 101.

“All In The Family” was just one of a string of TV hits for Lear and then-partner Bud Yorkin, that tackled topics like racism, feminism, and the Vietnam war. Lear’s work reflected his political beliefs and would often meld humour with serious topics.
