Rising Damp - The Complete TV Series Plus The Movie (DVD)

Includes all 28 episodes from the TV series, plus the movie.

A genuine British comedy classic, the popularity of Rising Damp remains unparalleled some 25 years after the first transmission. Detailing the day-to-day events at Rigsby's dingy boarding-house in which the landlord from hell, Rupert Rigsby prowled around his dilapidated eyrie, poking his nose into his lodgers' affairs.

In the feature length movie, Rigsby (Leonard Rossiter) is still intending to make Miss Jones (Frances De La Tour) his wife but she's far more interested in the intellectual and athletic Philip (Don Warrington)...

Sadly, some episodes are in production rather than broadcast order: the 2nd and 3rd episodes of Series 1 are swapped around.

Leonard Rossiter - Character Driven (Book)

Whether he was playing seedy landlord Rupert Rigsby in Rising Damp or frustrated suburban dreamer Reggie Perrin, Leonard Rossiter gave us performances so iconic, so utterly memorable, that they achieve timelessness. Like Peter Sellers or Ronnie Barker, his characters are more real in our national consciousness than the actor who played them, who to this day remains a mystery. There has never been a biography or autobiography, and the fragments we hear about him, e.g. his rumoured ruthlessness and disdain for other actors, are partial and don't offer any real insight into his undoubtedly complex character. This book will redress the balance, offering for the first time an in-depth account of Rossiter's life and work. Through interviews with his daughter, Camilla; widow, Gillian Raines; lover Sue MacGregor and friends and colleagues from Don Warrington to Geoffrey Palmer it will bring to life the man behind the threadbare cardigan and manic grimace and reveal why he was able to produce such epoch-defining performances.

As well as examining the great TV roles for which he became famous, the book also explores Rossiter's lesser-known work in theatre and his parts in classic films such as Lionel Bart's Oliver!, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Lindsay Anderson's Britannia Hospital. We'll also learn what went on behind the scenes in the famous series of Cinzano adverts he made with Joan Collins in the mid 1970s. Exhaustive, affectionate, honest and long overdue, Character Driven will finally give a personality to the man behind some of the greatest comic performances of the twentieth century.

Rising Damp - The Complete First Series (DVD)

First broadcast in 1974, the ITV bedsitland sitcom Rising Damp was an instant and enduring success. It starred Leonard Rossiter as the miserly and lovelorn landlord Rigsby who is constantly needling young lodger Alan (Richard Beckinsale), a science student whose long hair and earrings are symptomatic to Rigsby of the parlous effeminacy of the modern age. He's also in love with Frances De La Tour's dowdy spinster Miss Jones, though his tentative advances are forever rebuffed. She in turn carries a torch for Philip (Don Warrington), the elegant son of an African chief who also resides at Rigsby Towers.
