• Rising Damp | DVD | (17/04/2019) from £5.79   |  Saving you £4.20 (72.54%)   |  RRP £9.99

  A genuine British comedy classic the popularity of 'Rising Damp' remains unparalleled some 25 years after the first transmission. 'Rising Damp' detailed the day-to-day events at Rigsby's dingy boarding-house in Eric Chappell's hilarious sitcom. The landlord from hell Rupert Rigsby prowled around his dilapidated eyrie poking his nose into his lodgers' affairs. In this feature length movie Rigsby (Leonard Rossiter) is still intending to make Miss Jones (Frances De La Tour) his wi

• Rising Damp - The Complete 1st Series | DVD | (07/05/2001) from £10.46   |  Saving you £4.53 (43.31%)   |  RRP £14.99

  First broadcast in 1974, the ITV bedsitland sitcom Rising Damp was an instant and enduring success. It starred Leonard Rossiter as the miserly and lovelorn landlord Rigsby who is constantly needling young lodger Alan (Richard Beckinsale), a science student whose long hair and earrings are symptomatic to Rigsby of the parlous effeminacy of the modern age. He's also in love with Frances De La Tour's dowdy spinster Miss Jones, though his tentative advances are forever rebuffed. She in turn carries a torch for Philip (Don Warrington), the elegant son of an African chief who also resides at Rigsby Towers. Some aspects of Rising Damp have not aged well, principally Rigsby's stream of racist jibes at Philip. Although these were doubtless well-meant and supposed to illustrate Rigsby's foolish bigotry, you suspect that that was a convenient cover for audiences in the 1970s to enjoy racist humour. However, Rossiter's Rigsby--stuttering, stammering, bent perpetually over backwards--remains a great comic creation, embodying all the festering prejudices, small-mindedness and self-delusion of the lower middle class Little Englander. --David Stubbs

• Machinegunner | DVD | (01/07/2013) from £17.53   |  Saving you £-4.54 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Leonard Rossiter stars as Cyril Dugdale, a Bristol-based 'machinegunner' (West Country slang for a debt collector) and amateur detective who fi nds himself enmeshed in a dangerous web of corruption in this dark yet humorous HTV thriller. Lured by the promise of easy money, Dugdale takes compromising photographs of Jack Bone, a property dealer involved in an adulterous affair, for the mysterious Felicity Mae Ingram; Felicity's attractiveness also has more than a little to do with Dugdale's eager co-operation, but he has little understanding of what he is stepping into. When Bone's hired thugs are dispatched to retrieve the negatives, and then Bone himself is found dead in woodland, Dugdale realises he been drawn into a conspiracy involving a widespread extortion racket. Leonard Rossiter's sublime talent for portraying seedy, unscrupulous but comically engaging characters is used to marvellous effect in a production that also stars Nina Baden-Semper (Love Thy Neighbour), multi-award-winning writer and actor Colin Welland, Kate O'Mara (Dynasty), and Timothy Preece (The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin). Originally screened in 1976, Machinegunner was written by Dave Martin (Doctor Who) and BAFTA winner Bob Baker, and directed by Patrick Dromgoole (Robin of Sherwood).
