Plots(1)

Rigsby (Leonard Rossiter) is a 365-day-a-year Scrooge who owns a decrepit house full of bedsits that he rents out to people who've fallen on hard times. RISING DAMP follows his antics as he tries to woo the object of his affections, Miss Ruth Jones (Frances de la Tour), while making his other tenants' lives miserable. In particular, Alan (Richard Beckinsale) and Philip (Don Warrington) meet Rigsby's ire on a regular basis, leading to some very funny scenes in a show that is considered a comedy classic in its native U.K. (official distributor synopsis)
