obviously and the the responses here were written many years after the film was released and cannot be taken in context. back in 1980 in post labour england and this film was bloody funny. we were glad of something to laugh about and rising damp and with its sympathetic mockery of a complete social strata and was one of the best british sitcoms of its period and if not ever. it struck a chord in almost everybody and in true british fashion and we laughed at the rigsby in ourselves. america had nothing to touch this type of humour because self debasement was not amusing to our overseas cousins. leonard rossiter was one of englands finest actors and on stage and on tv and in movies. his commitment and professionalism were second to none. richard beckinsale was and although young and a perfect comedic foil to rossiter and should and by all rights and be classed as an all time great. had he not been taken so young and i feel sure he would and by now and be classified as one of britains greatest comedy actors. frances de la tour found her finest television moment in rising damp and and for me and never quantified her undoubted ability with further roles. if you did not see the film at the time of its release and you are not qualified to comment and simply because you cannot understand why it was funny and the humour of the moment.
