Me and Miss Jones (we got a thing going on).

Every time I hear anyone on the show (especially Rigsby) say "Oh, Miss Jones", I can't help but sing the "Me and Mrs Jones" song in my head by Hall and Oats:

#....Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on...#

I know she's a "Miss" and the song's about a "Mrs", but I don't let that stop me.
And I don't really find her attractive, I'm sorry to say (what is it with crap 70's hair? - it even makes Sandra look unattractive, and I reckon she'd be a right looker if she got a makeover done thesedays), but I don't let that stop me either.

I didn't find either of the "leading ladies" attractive in Rising Damp.
Miss Jones looked like a horse and Brenda looked like Marc Bolan.

'Brenda looked like Marc Bolan. '

Haha so true...the dodgy 70s hair and crappy denim didn't help either!

What about that girl that chased after Alan everywhere on a racing bike? She was a bit of a fright as well!

My fave women in 'Damp' were the posh girl (Caroline?) who got a jam buttie stuck to her dress, and the girl who everyone thought was a newlywed but it turned out was just shacked up.

Yeah Caroline was pretty hot. Her accent helped. Her Mother wasn't too bad either LMAO! The best bit of fluff on RD was the black woman Phillip brought back to the house, can't remember what episode... she was smokin'.

Oh yes - the one Rigsby thought was a present for him!

Check out Brenda next time you watch 'Damp'. She's always corpsing in her scenes with Rigsby! Miss Jones does too, but keeps it under control better!

[–] SteveResin 15 years ago

Yeah I noticed that too :) The best one is when they're having the grey lady seance and Rigsby accidentally touches her boob, and improvises "quite firm". Her & Phillip crack totally LOL.

Nah, I thought Brenda was sexy. I bet you wouldn't kick her out of bed mate.
