[fairhillnorrie]

poor rigsby..... constantly had a boner around miss Jones...lol

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

Talk about being "in the moment" as an actor. Rossiter was brilliant.

[Yellowswift3]

My favourite comic actor.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

I have them all on DVD. The quality of the writing, the acting and even the mood of the show still astounds me.

I played the DVD for my neice who is 19 and she was rolling around laugh and then remarked "the world was a more happier place years ago...even when people were poor and sad life seemed more full with emotions and experience or something..."

She was right.

[nath909]

[kazakhseven]

British comedy is the best

[duckgeezer]

Rising Damp was brilliant, but there are a hundred funnier clips than these two that could have been shown.

[Bevoin1970]

Im so glad I lived in the 1970's, was a brilliant decade for all sorts of reasons, especially TV sitcoms and the like... :-)

[warzoxky]

[UsagiDreams]

I started crying when Rigsby realised that Miss Jones had said yes. I thought they were perfect for each other.

[jide1000]

Rossiter was a god.

[UsagiDreams]

I know, there will never be an actor like him again. He was one in a million.

Rising damp.CLASSIC!!.

[xshazx93]

what a classic comedy

[EleanorRigsby]

it's Sartrian in it's uncompromisising depiction, a la Huis Clos, of a hell that is undeniably these particular other people, never mind the Camusian echos of pistols at dawn with strangers on the shore , not to mention the suggestions of infamy, infamy, they've all bleedin' got it in for me that seem to urgently coalesce in an essentially French melange of existential sensibility and Kenny Williams, duckie!!

[fatterelvis]

sartrian lol  its funny if you got your head out of your rectum and stoppped reading a dead concept of todays zeitgist you might appreciate it for what it was a good well written well acted piece of comedy genius all comedy is inherently a bastard child of what has been , it maybe your inability to accept this that makes you so closed

hey even benny hill was the third level of dante if you look at it that way

[bloosdoode]

"Please extinguish your stick!" still cracks me up, LOL!!

[Intangible88]

Very good. Thanks for putting this on You Tube! I had never seen the "Love Wood" episode before - or I don't remember if I did see it many years ago!
