Editorial Reviews

"ITV’s finest and most enduring sitcom" -- Radio Times Guide to TV Comedy

The concluding episodes of the hilarious British comedy classic

These six episodes brought to a close one of the best Britcoms ever. The action centers on Rigsby—the miserly, lecherous landlord of a rundown rooming house who becomes completely irresistible in the hands of comedy great Leonard Rossiter (The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin). And who could blame Rigsby for lusting after his long-term tenant Miss Jones (Frances de la Tour), who in turn lusts after anything in pants -- except Rigsby. With suave university student Philip (Don Warrington) lending his wry commentary on the proceedings, Rigsby gets religion, an unexpected inheritance, and -- most astonishingly -- a fiancé. Could it possibly be wedding bells for Rigsby and Miss Jones?

5.0 out of 5 stars note to all you americans out there, July 7, 2007

I am from london.I remember thinking this was funny back in the 70s then got hold of it again.I haven't laughed so long and hard in years.But you got to have a feel for british humour.If you're not sure you do,get hold of Faulty towers.It has great reviews by americans on amazon.If you like that ,get Blackadder which many say is very funny and they understand the accent.Rising Damp ,you may have to have a good ear because the accent is slightly northern england.My american friend watching it with me said she couldn't always understand what he was saying(so would have missed the facial expressions that go along with it too)These comediens have really funny ways of taking the mickey out of themselves and others in a cynical way.But this doesn't mean sarcastically mean .Far from it.Yet the barbs are sharper than Are you Being Served.Rising Damp is about a seedy slum landlord(Rigsby)and his 3 tenants.One is a romantic wallflower of a women who Rigsby is always trying to get into bed.Next is a posh african student who is more british than the british.But he's black!Rigsby is somewhat racist.Yes this sounds politically incorrect but don't worry he is always getting put in his place!And the woman has a crush on him.Then a student who Rigsby considers effeminate because he blow-dries his hair and wears rollers at times though he is not gay and the most normal out of all of them.I think Rising damp is far more funny than Faulty towers and Blackadder but then i'm a brit and also not fazed by the slight northern accent of Rigsby.

Rising Damp is the best of British Comedy. Leonard Rossiter, the landlord, is his usual delightful self. If you are ready for a good laugh, watch this series.

This is still a wonderful series but the emphasis on its characters has changed. It has always been the Leonard Rossiter Show but now more so. Alan (Richard Beckinsale) is no longer in the cast. I believe he died. Now we see the other three of the cast interacting almost continuously. Still a great show, just slightly different. Definitely worth buying.
