Isnt it wonderful that though Leonard Rossiter and Richard Beckinsale are both long dead now, we can still sit and watch them. I know that that might seem silly to say or perhaps even overly sentimental. But it really dose seem that telly programs today are so Americanized with their, laugh here, be sad here etc format. No offence to our Yank cousins, but their programs have always been packaged crap. And particularly soulless crap at that. :o)o:

@crockyoshighty I agree i mean at least our comedy is still moderately funnier than the American's but it's still not as funny as it used to be. I guess comedy back then was directed more towards adults but these days there's such a wide genre to entertain so it's hard to find the right balance.

@RisingDampChamp Yeh it isn't "better" it's just 'different' in approach lol.

[RisingDampChamp]

Yeh i wonder how long it'll be before youtube orders me to take them down lol. They do that i'll just upload them again.

[RisingDampChamp]

Yes there are 7 episodes to each DVD and i have all 4 series of Rising Damp with title menu's and everything lol.

[RisingDampChamp]

I have every season lol. Takes a while to split each episode into 3 parts and upload them that's why it's taking so long sorry.

g8 comedy richard beckinsale was so good looking he would have been 64 this year if he was alive.

@RisingDampChamp as a "Yank" I am sad to say I agree how awful our comedies are compared to these classics! You know how good they are when you can watch them over and over and they don't get old. How often can you do that with most, or any American shows. I can't stand "Friends" (A Coupling rip-off) or many others. In fact, if you ever have seen Sanford and Son, you can see another rip off from Steptoe and Son...Ironic, isn't it? :(

Thank you so much for putting this on!

@jvanderveen

Rising Damp was shown on American television?

@crockyoshighty

I disagree. Their "culture" is different, so their comedy will produced different too. Personally, I like the way the Americans did Man About The House as "Three's Company."

And do you remember "Two's Company" with a Brit (Donald Sinden), and a yank (Elaine Stritch)?
