Rising Damp

Post by 1964white »

Just watching an episode of 'Rising Damp' on ITV 3

Brilliant.....Rossiter at his best!

The Rigsby/Miss Jones scenes are a delight

A comedy series that always makes me laugh :lol:

Fantastic comedy of its time which I still find funny today. Have you ever seen the film? One of my favourite lines is where Alan the new lodger asks while he’s viewing the room “ isn’t that damp coming down the walls” to which Rigsby replies “ what do you expect , champagne”

Rossiter at his best is Rise and Fall in my opinion ...

Excellent in that series too!

In Rising Damp Rossiter didn't have to say word to make me laugh, Rigsby's face reactions were brilliant

I seem to remember Rigsby mentions Leeds United in one episode of Rising Damp but I can never remember which one or why I'm afraid. Might even be the film version but I'm sure it's one of the series episodes. Was Leonard a Leeds fan perhaps? He was born in Liverpool though.

Another Perrin fan here. It still gets quoted regularly. In fact, I didn't get where I am today without quoting Reggie Perrin.

Is Cjay a fan, I wonder...

Rigsby may have well sung 'we are champions, champions of Europe' :scar1
