Richard Beckinsale
Its hard to believe that Ricahrd Beckinsale, a few weeks later would die of a heart attack after this.
It was filmed during by the way during the severe winter of 1978-79 in the UK and you can tell!
After all these years I still feel cheated by his early death. Porridge & Rising Damp still remain as two of my very favorate programs, he was absolutely brilliant in both.
Must be strange for Kate and Samantha to see their dad on screen, younger than they are now.
him and ian curtis both died at the same time and had so much more to offer the entertainment business
