Description:
'ITV’s finest and most enduring sitcom' —Radio Times Guide to TV Comedy
A Britcom gem from the 1970s, with a main character so loathsome he’s irresistible.
It’s lodgers versus landlord in this brilliantly written, brilliantly acted British comedy classic. Leonard Rossiter (The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin) stars as miserly, mean-spirited Rupert Rigsby, the prying, preening landlord of a seedy boarding house. Rigsby engages in an ongoing—and losing—battle of wits with university students and regular tenants Alan (Richard Beckinsale) and Philip (Don Warrington). In Series 3, new tenants include a flamboyant actor (Peter Bowles) and an exotic dancer, who test Rigsby’s narrow mind and lecherous instincts. Early on, lovelorn Ruth (Frances de la Tour) returns to the house after a failed engagement, delighting Rigsby and cranking up the hilarity with his clumsy courting attempts and her refined rebuffs.

I still LOVE this show after all these years! I like series 3 character developement...Alan is a little smarter, there aren't so many racial jokes about Phillip, and Mr. Rigsby is slowly growing a conscience and a heart.

While dated, Rising Damp is a first-rate British comedy. Not so well known stateside as those we see weekly on PBS, I found it to be truly funny...something I find lacking in a lot of modern American comedy. This was a good purchase and comes highly recommended.

This is the third of four series of this classic 1970's britcom. For those unfamiliar, the late Leonard Rossiter stars as Rigsby, the jittery, fast-talking, slovenly, bigotted landlord of a run-down boarding house. In short, he's a man who's high opinion of himself has absolutely no basis in reality!
If you've enjoyed the first two series, you'll not be disappointed with this one. As with many britcoms, this is yet another one which only gets better as it goes on, with series three ... Read More
