Love it, write about it in my 1970s blog. :) Got the whole box set! Great Mr Rigsby and Miss Jones.

Look at my avatar (ok, that sounds a bit rude...). ;)

Just enjoying this from start to finish for the first time. It's very good (especially Leonard Rossiter) but it may be suffering from under-exposure compared to other classics of its time due to the PC lobby.

I think it would be more well known if it had been on the BBC

Agree.

Dunno if anyone was aware of the stage show.

Funny how many British sitcoms go on tour even decades after the show was on TV.

Yeah I thought this sitcom would be revived.

It's coming to The Grand in Wolves in October.

Anybody seen it? Any good?

Nope but I am going to book to see it in Wolves though which is going to great.

Never really liked Rising Damp.

We agree on something.

There's nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, OR.

It's quite probably the best ITV sitcom of the lot.
But I don't watch that many ITV sitcoms what with them not being good in general.

Those aren't my words, they are the words of Aaron & the BCG top 50 sitcoms.

Is that saying a lot?
