First class 1970s comedy. The four principle actors, together with various supporting roles, worked brilliantly together. Lots of good visual jokes in addition to the great script writing. The only caveat is the way in which the issue of race is dealt with would not be acceptable today. One of the tenants is a black African and the white landlord makes several remarks about his race and cultural background which are based on ignorance. The redeeming feature of these exchanges is that the landlord always ends up looking stupid and ignorant, whereas the tenant is educated and sophisticated and maintains his dignity, and often mocks the landlord as part of the good-natured comedy which characterises this series.

I have always loved this comedy, it’s one of the very best British comedies. Superb acting and scripts, extremely funny, no swearing, so much better than ‘modern’ comedies. I’ve bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband, so I’ll be able to watch them anytime I wish.

Comic genius, Leonard Rossiter heads the cast of this enduringly popular comedy of lodgers versus their miserly landlord. With lecherous but lovable landlord, Rigsby obsessed with lovelorn spinster, Ruth Jones and her own affections tangled with African Prince, Philip and later the sophisticated, brylcreem-ed newcomer, Seymour, this hilarious comedy works its way out of the rising damp of requited love. Watch as the wallpaper develops a deeper shade of yellow and the dust layer gains another inch, from the first series through to the highly entertaining movie.

Good old clean comedy Rigsby the landlord ,seem to have no locks on doors Always gotta be in on everything, He never quite gets the hang of asking miss Jones to be his. He must be the only landlord that never made any money and ruled by some unscrupulous tenants who don't pay him. The movie is an updated version of an episode with a slight change.
