| At
its peak, over 18 million viewers tuned in to
observe the day-to-day events at Rigsby's dingy
boarding house in Eric Chappell's hilarious
sitcom Rising Damp. The landlord from
hell, Rupert Rigsby (the immortal Leonard
Rossiter) prowled around his dilapidated eyrie,
poking his nose into his lodgers' affairs. The
biggest bigot alive, Rigsby took great solace in
picking an argument with Alan and Phlip (Richard
Beckinsale and Don Warrington) - both students
studying at the nearby university - in their
claustraphobic attic room, while having nothing
but kind words for Miss Jones (Frances De La
Tour), the object of his desire, who lives in the
bedsite below... Episode titles: Charisma, A Perfect Gentleman, For The Man Who Has Everything, Stage Struck, 'Come On In, The Water's Lovely'. |

| The movie version of the TV sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter, whose portrayal of the mean-spirited and lecherous landlord Rigsby made him a
household name in the UK. Rigsby is determined to make Miss Jones (Frances De La Tour) his wife, but she is naturally more attracted to the intellectual and athletic Philip (Don Warrington), who
unfortunately is quite unmoved, being far more interested in the sexual shenanigans of his roommate John who is desperate to lose his virginity. Adding to the romantic intrigue is new arrival, the seemingly sophisticated Seymour played by Denholm Elliot. Miss Jones falls head over heels for the brylcreemed newcomer but is unaware that his main interest is her savings account! Hilarious comedy works its way out of the rising damp of unrequited love... |
