Trivia:
The original name of Leonard Rossiter's character was Rooksby. This was changed to Rigsby after complaints and threats of legal action from a real-life Mr. Rooksby who objected to the unflattering portrayal of a character with the same name as him. moreFAQ

Another British sitcom classic, DAMP is hilarious and must be watched. Mr Rigsby (Leonard Rossiter) has an immortal desire for Miss Jones (Frances De La Tour) and through some 20 or more episodes makes endless attempts to seduce her. With many equally funny sub-plots, the actors' performances make DAMP one of the best performed comedies ever. A classic.
