RISING DAMP
1975-1978
1. An all-time sitcom character in Rigsby
2. Set looks like it was built for $10, dark and dirty
3. Looks like a play
4. A minimum of characters in each episode
5. A tragic actor in Richard Beckinsale (Kate Beckinsale's father), heartthrob from another classic series Porridge who died suddenly at 31
6. A British Carol Burnett in Frances de la Tour (lookitthemchompers!) who is also in another Xmastime slice, Vicious
7. Introduces me to Eric Chappell, who wrote a seemingly billion BBC series in the 70s/80s/90s, giving myself a BBC comedy triumvirate of Chappell, Richard Curtis and Graham Linehan
