Richard Beckinsale is coincidentally the guy on the stairs when you paused the programme at 2 minutes into your reaction. He's also in the brilliant comedy 'Porridge', starring with Ronnie Barker from the 'Four Candles' sketch. They're cell mates in prison. I'd LOVE it if you did a reaction to 'Porridge'. One of the U.K.'s best loved comedies. From the same era as the other U.K. comedies you seem to love.
Also Kate Beckinsales dad.
Agree with Porridge!
Don Warrington was ace in this.😄
Great series ! Gets better as you get into it too. First episode was generally about establishing the characters .Glad you enjoyed Jay .Great reaction 👍👍
He was the father of Kate Beckinsale.
Frances De La Tour as Miss Jones was perfect. I loved her character.
The way she and Rigsby played off each other was seemless, amazing timing, hanging on to every word.....? Superb.
@@charliepayne9248 Yes, brilliant! All the characters worked well together in Rising Damp. All interesting and likeable....There was no weak character like in many sit coms...For instance, Patricia Routledge in 'Keeping up Appearances' was way superior to the rest of the cast, all of whom i thought were poor comedy actors
@@veilbreak5867 my mother in law is a dead ringer for the Bucket woman, looks, mannerisms & the perrywinkle china.
@@charliepayne9248 hahaha, oh no! As long as you're not made to attend her candlelit soirees
@@veilbreak5867 oh yes I am....! fortunately she doesn't sing at me.
I'm glad you watched this . I loved Don Warrington in it .In future episodes Rigsby gets racially flippant with him but Phillip is miles ahead of him and plays him like a fiddle .It's a great dynamic .
Congratulations on over 14,000 Subscribers,my friend.
This was a funny show and The Late Richard Beckinsale had 2 excellent Actreses as his Daughters.
As for Leonard Rossiter as Rigsby, he was a perfectionist and expected the same of everyone else but was one of THe UK's greatest actors and one of the facially most expressive.
Don Warrington is still going strong and acting in one of our top soaps:)
I think you might be confusing Don Warrington with Rudolph Walker. Rudolph was in Love thy Neighbour and has been a regular in Eastenders for over 20 years. Don Warrington is still going strong though and has done a lot over the years. Probably best known at the moment for playing the Commissioner in Death in Paradise.
Ruth just fancied Philip because he was gorgeous! So pleased you enjoyed this sitcom.
Very good choice of show! Rising Damp is FAR superior to Mind Your Language, Love Thy Neighbour and Tll Death Us Do Part.
Acting is much better, script/writing is much better and cleverer, and direction is much better.
That's probably true, but the other three still deserve recognition.
@@PassportToPimlico
Yes, I agree. I didn’t suggest otherwise.
Yes, it is the same Leonard Rossiter that was in 2001: A Space Odyssey some years prior to this.
Frances de la Tour is a really good actress - started off in the Royal Shakespeare Company. Been in the Harry Potter films more recently.
There were a few shows that dealt with race at the time this was made....Mind Your Language, love Thy Neighbour & rising damp. They poke fun at the stupidity & ignorance of the racist. All very funny. In fact, most of the viewers were coloured people who thought it was hysterical. Probably struggle to make shows like this now, not because it would offend coloured people but because it would offend all the politically correct people. Great reaction bro. ✌
I don't think it's because of political correctness per se; A lot of great literature or poetry works when it utilises common experiences or perspectives that are common to the audience. The comedy in relation to Philip being black worked because at the time for a much higher proportion of the public, having close contact with black people was more unusual and so it played off common ignorances, fears and misunderstandings. As a society we've moved on, and so those same jokes, if presented today as fresh comedy, would be out of step with the common cultural perspective of the public. The same thing happens with other types of 'alien' as well - gay people, for example. You can laugh at those jokes, when you take into account the cultural perspective at the time when they were made
I totally agree Mike. ✌
your channel is one of the best on you tube lets hope you get thousands more subscribers
In case you weren't aware, this was based on a stage play and these were the same actors who were in the stage play. The writer was persuaded to turn it into a series, but because they'd already played together on stage, they actors already worked well together even in the first episode
Hey Jay, I grew up with these shows, I'm Australian but English parents. Hearing the perspective from yourself is really good. I like that you have a very balanced and logical view on things. You are a good person to review these shows.
This was one of the funniest shows on t.v. The way the relationships gel together over later episodes makes it even funnier !
yes I agree. This is one show that gets better and better as it goes on and is well worth seeing through
This was kind of the, 'pilot', episode that established the characters more than anything. It gets better as it goes on. Rigsby is, of course, the main protagonist with Alan and Philip being the ones that egg him on. Ruth is supposedly his, 'love interest', but she's more interested in Philip, who of course, has no interest in her. You can imagine some of the situations that occur.
Once you go black you never go back... it was Miss Jones who first said that!
What shows its age isnt the £6 ($7) weekly rent , but the fact a bedsit could have been rented in Leeds for under 15% of the lowest weekly wage.
Sorry to see Mind your language blocked
I was brought up with Rising Damp, Love Thy Neighbor, On The Buses & Till Death Do Us Part.... Fantastic comedy, really gut busting humour. A very good analysis my friend. 60's & 70's British comedy is the absolute best...!
Frances de la Tour and Leonard Rossiter did not get on with each other in real life and he hated the Vienna cat :(
Where'd you read that about Vienna? The cat looked very chilled out when he was holding her.
@@artymiss77 I think it was a BBC documentary
Kate Beckinsale is his daughter - went on to star in the Underworld films
Underworld was awesome too
@@JayPeezy Also check out Richard Beckinsale in Porridge with Ronnie Barker.
@@JayPeezy 'Rising Damp' gets better, even straight after this first episode.
Rigsby's attitudes can be difficult for modern day people to understand, especially if they're not Brits, but most younger Brits will not get the subtleties either. Black Americans have a long history of actually being in America, whereas most Black Brits have only been in the UK since the 1940's & 50's, when they were invited here from the colonies to fill jobs vacated by the dead of WWII; and other than a few people from India, Britain was almost entirely white. The black character here, was a foreign student, so Rigsby is assuming certain things about him as he'll have come directly from Africa, I don't think the show mentions this clearly enough, but Rigsby knows the difference between a recent immigrant & people who'd been here 30 or 40 years. In other words, if he wasn't a foreign student, Rigsby would most likely be saying none of this! It's a complicated explanation now, but then, this was just part of everyday life; I knew older people like this at the time & they might say similar things, but meeting individual black people, they were largely welcoming & friendly. If a white person went to Africa etc, I'm sure there would be plenty of local jokes & taunting that would go on, so it's not much different. I think you do very well to follow a lot of these old shows, most Americans wouldn't be able to hear through the accents, you must have an ear for it ;-).
I just love your videos, not just because you’re American but because you’re young it’s so interesting to see your reactions to comedy shows I grew up with.
"It's always good to see society before I came into existence". There speaks the natural historian and inquisitive person. It was Cicero (106BC-43AD) who said, "To know nothing of what happened before you were born is to remain a child."
Don Warrington here reminds me of why I had such a crush on him when I was nine
I actually used to live in "bedsit land" in a house just like thos, they still exist
This show is absolutely incredible. Keep these videos coming Jay Peezy. Rising damp has so many funny moments. i look forward to more content. 🇬🇧👊💯
Your attitude and humour are great my friend. I think that you are beginning to understand that us brits aren't inherently racist. We laugh at the racist people. Jay Bro I don't honestly believe that you expected that. I love your responses. Keep up the good work . Safe maan.
Are you going to do the whole series? If so I'll subscribe! It's a brilliant show.
New sub mate (noticed your Still Game reactions so going to test you...) New sub fae Glesga here pal. ?😂
You'll enjoy Rising Damp more and more as it goes on, if I remember right they became close even leading to Rigsby defending Alan eventually. Miss Jones a snowbunny for sure 😂
‘Lonely as Crippen’ - Crippen was an American homoeopath from Michigan who killed his wife in the 1900s and was captured with his mistress fleeing to the USA on a ship. The London police telegraphed ahead - the first instance of a criminal being captured through the use of that technology. He buried his wife’s remains in the basement of his London house.
Glad you liked it! Bit dated here and there (to say the least) but it stands the test time.
Rigsby was brilliant , ive seen all episodes multiple times over the years . Rigsby is one of the best characters thats been on tv
a genuine classic. the cast were so good, 2 of them still doing tv today.
richard beckingdale died to young bless him
Comedy genius at it's best
I remember these when they were originally on. And I was watching them again a year ago.. its good to see an American reaction..very funny..
You can buy dvd of “mind your language “ from Amazon it’s hilarious, I’m sure you will cringe
Richard becksdale died in his ,30 of heartattack
Yeah, a lot of the comedy comes from Rigsby being racist, but also classist (despite himself not being well off). He captured some of the worse qualities of a generation.
That's why despite him being extremely prejudiced against Philip initially, he quickly changes his tune when the Prince thing and money comes up. There's a lot of interplay between all of his awful conflicting views.
He's just constantly shown up for being such a bigot.
Alan's obviously got his own issues, the same as most of the characters
Richard Beckinsale - is Kate Beckinsale's father . She was in films Underworld , Pearl Harbour and more
Porridge )with Richard beckinsale was a good sitcom
The line about butter is probably a reference to the film Last Tango In Paris! Made in 1972.
Jay I love your reactions to rising damp. Please react more often, you're leaving too long in-between reactions. 2 per week would be good!
Yes Richard who died such a young age left his wife and kids behind. He played in Portage anmother English comedy
If you like Leonard Rossiter then you will love “The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin”. I loved it!
Mind your language is a much loved programme in the Maldives 🤷♂️
That's Kate Beckinsale's father. He passed away aged 31 in 79 from a heart attack. Kate was 5 y/o
Hi Jay, Its wonderful to see you like our comedy shows. Have you seen the 80s series - Bottom?
For me this is the weakest episode but I suppose it introduces the characters & situation fairly well. After this they lit the set a lot better and made everything seem even more grubby & squalid!
I like how every character is flawed & a bit pathetic. Nobody is really bad in it, just misguided, lonely & lost.
Richard Beckinsale has two famous daughters. You might know one of them - Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld & Van Helsing movies.
Crippen was an American doctor hung for murder ( in London ) but fled to the states on a steamboat and it was the first time telegraph was used to catch a killer.
Remember this when I was a kid! Some power-house actors! Beckinsdale had some great natural timing but died too young. Rossiter was in a few Stanley Kubrick movies and was a genuinely great actor, and Frances de la Tour went on to some great things too. Don Warrington mixed theatre with television, and had one of the best voices of quiet authority in the business. I wish he'd been in more stuff, but I kind of fondly remember him as the 'President of the United Kingdom' in an alternate-reality episode of Doctor Who. Anyway, great reaction. I'm a sucker for any comedy that's like a play - taking all these different personalities and sticking them in a cramped room. It'd be worth watching more, it gets really funny how Phillip deliberately messes with Rigsby's narrow mind and plays him.
A really funny series, all great actors but Leonard Rossiter was the best of them.
G’day mate
I just found your channel the other day and have already subscribed.
I am from Australia.
I have a show you might like to check out an older one from Australia it is called 🔴Kingswood country🔴 Another show that could not be made nowadays.
Cheers mate.
Yeah sad that Richard Beckinsale died very young , he also starred in another great british comedy called " Porridge " . He has a famous movie actress daughter Kate Beckinsale who's known for Underworld movies , Pearl Harbor , Van Helsing , Serendipity , Total Recall and many more
I forgot that he was Kate Beckinsdale ‘s dad ,so sad he died young.
Classic!! That was the first show....That took me back...Thx for that!! Your gonna have fun :)
Keep watching and you'll be going "Oooh Miss Jones!" with the rest of us! Of course, Philip has great fun with Rigsby and the son of a chief thing...
watch a show called *love thy neighbour*
He has,and has done a review of it....
Our lovely Richard Beckinsale died in his sleep, I believe. So young and beautiful. His daughter Kate Beckinsale is of course a well-known actress. And I remember seeing his other daughter on tv a long while ago. She looked so like Richard it was obvious who her father was.
Samantha is the spitting image of her father, she was in London’s Burning, Holby City, Corrie & Time After Time with Brian Conley as well as Kate Williams from another show @Jay Peezy has been watching aka Love Thy Neighbour where she plays the modem tolerant Booth, Eddie’s wife Joan.
Check out Bo Selecta, a 2000’s UK comedy show, especially the Michael Jackson impressions!
Lee 76 lol.
I live in the town where the creator/writer Eric Chappell was born.
I always remember when it first came out my great auntie would never watch it we all did thou and found it very funny XD
Rising Damp, classic comedy👌Great choice Jay 👍
and this show is about 40 years old...😎😎😂😂
About 45 years plus .
The young lad died just a young age he was all the ladies heart throb
Hi buddy love the looks on your face I have watched all episodes
Shout out to you from the UK 🇬🇧
You'll enjoy this show 😉
Wonderful reactions, Jay and just how they should be. EVERYONE is a target in this series and everyone gives as good as they take. Everyone should laugh along with it, cringe along with it, it's in the name of comedy. We need these releases to reflect at how prejudices are foolish at the end of the day and it's all done in a harmless way. Kudos for doing a little prep research too. Sir, you have my subscription.
His daughter is Kate Beckinsdale, the successful British Actress who's acted in one of her franchise film's as a Vampire !
Great channel ❤🇬🇧🇺🇦
Dude you gotta watch the next episode bro. If you thought the 1st episode was funny, wait until you get into it man. Please review the other episodes.
Leonard Rossiter. Probably my all time favourite actor 👍
Richard Beckinsale was Kate Beckinsale's dad
Used to love watching this show. Even the music was pure class 🇬🇧
This was a brilliant show !
All great actors in their own right. The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin was another great series with Leonard Rossiter.
Love Rising Damp
It was always on tv in the 90s when i was a teenager. We used to do Rigsby impressions at school haha "ooh Miss Jones"
One of the Best comedy shows ever.
❤️

@@imemine6494 Well that's subjective and it was never done to be so..
It was just a list of other UK comedy's to try as most on that list never get reviewed.
I love that u enjoy vintage uk comedy,just lk myself! my mum came from Jamaica to the uk in the early 70s and loved all of them even with, ahem ‘undertones’😬
nx one u should do is
‘mind your language’
‘In sickness and in health’
and to spin it ,try the uks first black comedy
‘no problem’
My all time favourite comedy. ❤
It's so refreshing to see you take all the British ( even the Scottish ones ) in the fun they were meant, keep it going big man
Another excellent classic. Please stick with it, and also try "on the buses" 🤞
You gotta see the episode where they give Rigsby a bit of wood off of the wardrobe and tell him its wood from the African love tree and he tries to use it on miss Jones... funny af
Leonard Rossiter played the Undertaker Mr Sowerberry in the musical film Oliver.
Extraordinaruy Actor and a real perfectionist which made him a littler difficult as he expected 100% of others at all times:)
He was also in the war film set in a concentration camp - King rat
Yeah Mind Your language is a good show
'Rigsby' really had been a special forces guy in the Western Dessert during WWII.
Lovely to see your reactions, I love this show, incredibly funny family fav. ❤️
Condensation. That's the excuse my landlord gives for my damp and mould!
Minnie You poor thing.
Richard Beckinsale has a famous daughter... Kate Beckinsale , she was the fitty in the UNDERWORLD movies who wears the very tight leather catsuits
Sidenote; Kate Beckinsale from Underworld movies is Richard Beckinsale daughter. She speaks of him in interviews.
I@m glad to finally see an American review of the classic RISING DAMP .
You didnt seem to outwardly laugh much, BUT overall seemed to understand and enjoy it.
this sit com does seem to translate well, it is dark/black comedy the kind that I enjoy most from 1974 when the world was a very different place.
it was also interesting that you could see the coloured character coming, as back in the seventies it would have been harder to predict
(incidently you may not know that Phillip is NO son of an African chief, he originally comes from Croydon south London) but Rigsby doesnt know that of course,
if you like dark cynical humour along similar lines, you should Also look at STEPTOE & SON
If you've seen any of the 'Underworld' movies, Kate (Selene) is Richard Beckinsale's daughter.
Richard Beckinsale is the father of Kate Beckinsale's (Underworld movies).
The Hollywood actress Kate Beckensale is Richards daughter. He is a treasured actor in the UK having achieved so much in such a short time. The lovers, Porridge and rising damp being among his work. He passed away after filming Series 1 of Going straight a sequel to Porridge. After he passed Ronnie Barker pulled the plug on any more Going straight with Richard. Richard had severe dyslexia so used to always fluff up rehearsal but apparently come filming he never skipped a beat. One hell of a Handsome man.
