A short blurb from Acorn Video about Rising Damp-Season 3: A Britcom gem form the 1970s, with a main character so loathsome he’s irresistible.
In this third season, new tenants include a flamboyant actor (Peter Bowles) and an exotic dancer who tests Rigsby and Ruth coming back from a failed engagement delighting Rigsby to no end! This was the last season for Richard Beckinsale who went on to do other roles. Sadly, in 1979 Richard Beckinsale died of a massive heart attack at the age of 31.
VIDEO
The video quality is great! The series was done on videotape but there were no dropouts of picture at all. Excellent quality.
Audio
Was originally recorded in Mono. It is also Mono on this set.
Disc 1- 1. “That’s My Boy”
2. “Stage Struck”-with Peter Bowles
3. “Clunk Click”-with Derek Francis
4. “The Good Samaritans”
5. “Fawcett’s Python”
6. “The Cocktail Hour”
7. “Suddenly At Home”
Extras
Disc 1: Production Notes- (Text Only)
Cast Filmographies- (Text Only)
Verdict
If you are a fan of British comedy then you need this in your collection.
Rating; ****!
