176 - Rising Damp

Rising Damp (Series 2 Episode 8)<br /> <br />An unnamed northern university town is home to Rupert Rigsby, landlord of arguably the seediest, most run-down boarding house that England has to offer. <br /><br />His unlucky tenants include Ruth Jones, an administrator at the university; Alan, a medical student; and Philip, who is studying town and country planning.<br /><br />Between them, Alan and Philip are the focus and foil of the majority of Rigsby's many prejudices, usually at the expense of his dignity and standing in the eyes of Miss Jones, with whom he is hopelessly and pathetically in love.<br /><br />Written by Eric Chappell<br />Produced by Ronnie Baxter and Vernon Lawrence<br />Directed By Ronnie Baxter and Vernon Lawrence<br />A Yorkshire Television production.<br />Rising Damp is available here: <a href="https://amzn.to/3IORJti" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3IORJti</a> and <a href="https://apple.co/3ymbunp" rel="noopener">https://apple.co/3ymbunp</a><br /> <br />The Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.<br /> <br />Subscribe for a new episode each Tuesday.<br /> <br />Get in touch - we're @ComedySlab on Twitter and ComedySlab on Facebook.
