one of bbc's best
its really funny and a real fun to watch, one of bbc's best. loved it.
shareIt wasn't on the BBC, it was actually one of the few good ITV sitcoms (made by Yorkshire television).
sharethanks for correcting me. actually ppl like me who dont live in the UK, we automatically assume that each and every british programme or sitcom is made by the BBC, maybe coz BBC is much better known and respected than other UK channels. Still, thanks. next time will check my facts before posting.
shareStill - the base of your post was correct. Rising Damp is one of the best sit-coms ever.

IKEA! Swedish for Sh*te!
yep, it is... love it, esp rigsby.
shareDoes anyone know if this diamond airs on any us stations. I used to view it on A&E in the mid-eighties but I havent seen one hint of this absolutely perfect sit-com which in my opinion rivals my fave of all time ALL IN THE FAMILY.Love the episode when Rigsby thinks Mrs Jones fur piece is Vienna his cat.Oh and the episode Fawcets python.
shareYou can buy the entire collection (all four seasons and the feature film) on DVD for around £15.00.
shareI remember seeing this on Channel 4 after Harry Hill every Sundae around 4-5y ago.

"Oh I'm Sorry, Did I Break Your Concentration?"
I'm amazed the message board isn't more active on this. Leonard Rossiter's comic performance in this has to be one of the best in the history of TV.
Of course a lot of the humour is politically incorrect and even though the butt of the joke is ultimately always Rigsby and never Philip, I imagine many viewers may find the dated attitudes portrayed here offensive.
A shame as I rank it with Fawlty and Only Fools.
Yes just bought the box-set with all 4 series and movie. Not consistently as good as Fawlty & early OFAH but in some episodes Leonard Rossiter is amazing. What a genius.

I am probably one of the very few who prefer rising damp to fawlty towers.also this for me was leonard rossiter`s finest performance . anyone who could portray a racist homophobic and seedy looking man so well that you also see the lonely lovelorn man that you end up having sympathy for deserves the tag of genius
