One of those weird coincidences I thought I’d post. I caught an episode of “Rising Damp” on TV today, and it really dawned on me how much I miss this wonderful show. When I Googled it out of interest, I discovered Leonard Rossiter sadly passed away this very night (October 5th) in the wings of London’s Lyric theatre in 1984.
“Rising Damp” was a perfect example of flawless casting in a golden age of comedy, and I sincerely miss it!

@edchivers @herrold As someone who first got to the UK in '97, both #CarryOn movies & #RisingDamp were a revelation. Summer Wine got lambasted as old age pensioner 'safe' (?) humour back then already as per impression got. Ran forever?

Red Dwarf is the best. I like absurdity in my humour, so e.g. #ThisIsJinsy worked for me. WEIRD. Never forgot that Soup of the Gods song, below.

Context for video: Uptight guy accidentally on drugs here. Not the best to start from ofc.
