Rising Damp
Created by Eric Chappell
On ITV1
A sharp-edged British sitcom built on the collision between a petty, bigoted landlord and his tenants, where comedy emerges from character friction and social satire rather than warmth.
Set in a seedy bedsit, the cowardly landlord Rigsby has his conceits debunked by his long suffering tenants.
