Rising Damp The Movie
Finally, the travesty of a 'movie', sans Beckinsale. Definitely a one-time watch - most of its scenes were plagarised verbatim from the sitcom. In a word, 'Yuck!' - but upped for completeness.

Rising Damp, The Movie, (1980) HD
Rising Damp (1980) Movie HD. Rising Damp is a 1980 comedy film based on the British situation comedy Rising Damp, which aired on ITV from 1974 to 1978. The television series was, in turn, adapted from Eric Chappell's stage play The Banana Box. Chappell adapted the play to television, and wrote the screenplay for this feature film. The film's director was Joseph McGrath. Leonard Rossiter plays Rupert Rigsby, the middle-aged landlord of a decrepit townhouse. Rigsby has fallen for his only female tenant, Ruth Jones (Frances de la Tour). Ruth, however, prefers Philip, who is much younger, more attractive, and more sophisticated than either Rigsby or she. Philip (Don Warrington) is not especially interested in Ruth, but he eggs Rigsby on in order to humiliate him.
Rising Damp S1E1 (Black Magic)
Alan teases Rigsby by telling him that Philip has ten wives and can work black magic. Put to the test by Rigsby, Philip bangs a tribal spear on the floor in ritualistic fashion, which results in Ruth, believing it to be a sign that Philip wants her body, running into the room in her nightie.

Rising Damp S1E3 (Charisma)
Rigsby tries to woo Ruth with two free tickets to a wrestling match given him by Spooner but she is not keen so he turns to Alan and Philip for advice on how to capture her heart. They suggest he adopts a sophisticated persona, wear a medallion and play a romantic record. They also give him some tablets to relax him but he takes too many and falls asleep before he can declare himself to Ruth. As a second plan Philip tells him of an African love rite whereby the suitor burns a piece of wood from the 'love tree' outside his sweetheart's hut. Rigsby approaches Ruth with a smouldering piece of wood - actually part of a wardrobe - but her response is to dowse it - and Rigsby - with a soda syphon.
Rising Damp S1E4 (All Our Yesterdays)
Spooner the wrestler has tripped over Rigsby's cat Vienna and is confined to his room with a broken leg. He plays his radio at full volume, annoying the other tenants and threatens Rigsby when he tells him to turn the noise down. Suddenly in nostalgic mood Rigsby gets his souvenirs from his service days in World War Two to show Philip and Alan, including his revolver, which goes off. Spooner pretends that Rigsby has killed him with it and plays dead, to have a joke at the landlord's expense. However it turns out that the bullet has actually killed Spooner's pet goldfish so Rigsby asks if he can have it for the cat.
Rising Damp S1E2 (A Night Out)
It is Ruth's birthday and Rigsby plans to take her to up-market restaurant the Grange. When Alan and Philip tell him his dapper clothes are old-fashioned he borrows a tuxedo from another lodger Spooner, a violent wrestler, without asking his permission. At the Grange Rigsby expects Philip will have trouble getting in but in fact Philip has to vouch for Rigsby, whose efforts to woo Ruth go awry when he stamps on her false eye-lash, mistaking it for a spider. As the band strikes up a waltz Rigsby prepares to dazzle Ruth with his fancy foot-work but is prevented by the appearance of Spooner, who tussles with Rigsby to get his tuxedo back and rips the sleeve off. They are ejected and, as Philip takes Ruth home, Rigsby and Alan end up with a bag of chips from the take-away
Rising Damp S1E5 (The Prowler)
Whilst calling the cat in, Rigsby hears Ruth scream. She has seen a prowler staring at her through the window. A policeman called Baker is soon on the scene and interviews the household, telling Rigsby to check that the money he keeps hidden under the floor-boards is still there, which Rigsby does, in Baker's presence. Only after Baker has gone and the real police arrive, does Rigsby discover that Baker was an impostor, who has stolen his money.
Rising Damp S1E0 (Rooksby)
Landlord Rigsby shares his crumbling home with his cat Vienna and his two lodgers, amiable, shambling young medical student Alan and Miss Ruth Jones, welfare officer at Alan's college and the object of Rigsby's affection. When Ruth asks Rigsby to give her friend Philip a room, Rigsby is only too happy to please her though he is surprised to find that Philip, another student, is black and sees him - wrongly - as a rival for Ruth, who is actually pursuing Philip in vain. Consequently he tries to get rid of him but changes his mind after being told that Philip is an African prince - and not wanting to refund his deposit.
Rising Damp S2E5 (The Perfect Gentleman)
Alan and Philip do not share the fawning Rigsby's high opinion of the new tenant, suave, ex-Colonial, Seymour, who borrows money from them and owes rent. Seymour appeals to Rigsby's snobbery by promising him golf club membership and tries to turn him against Alan by planting Philip's wallet on him. When Rigsby is also robbed, Philip sets a trap and exposes Seymour as a thief and a con man.
Rising Damp S2E1 (The Permissive Society)
Having failed again to get a date with Philip, Ruth is unhappy so Rigsby, to arouse her, blows in her ear but she just thinks there's a draught. Alan and Philip have been on a double date and Philip is annoyed that Alan is so inexperienced with women that they only ended up playing scrabble. Philip lost his virginity on his fourteenth birthday. Alan only got a bike for his. To prove he is not afraid of women Alan enters Ruth's room in his dressing-gown but hides in the wardrobe when Rigsby also goes in and, on discovery, pretends he was sleep-walking. Alan's girl-friend's father comes round to accuse Alan of upsetting his daughter and mistakes Rigsby for the lad's father. Rigsby and Alan see him off but lock the door when he returns with his muscle-bound sons.
Rising Damp S2E6 (The Last of the Big Spenders)
Whilst Alan and Philip are intrigued when Rigsby brings in a load of expensive new furniture, new lodger Brenda takes it to be a sign of her landlord's wealth and expects him to take her out to dinner. Claiming that Vienna is unwell he suggests a romantic night in instead but this is ruined when bailiffs come to re-possess the furniture which he has not paid for.
Rising Damp S2E4 (Moonlight and Roses)
Ruth gets engaged to short but romantic Desmond and Rigsby is jealous. The boys suggest he compete by reciting poetry to her but she feels he is mocking her and announces that she will be moving out to live with Desmond. Rigsby tries to put Desmond off by claiming that Ruth is an alcoholic who can get violent but Desmond's love for Ruth means that he can take this in his stride and Ruth leaves the house, having caught Rigsby trying to chat up Brenda, an artists' model and potential new tenant - by quoting the same poetry that he used with her.
