Women cannot resist him-even when he's making off with their last quid! The one person immune to Howard's outrageous charm is his stuffy brother-in-law Trevor (George Cole) whose pleasantly dull life is about to go topsy-turvy...because this debonair con man is moving in! The laughs start when Howard's doting sister Mary (Rosalind Ayres) welcomes him into her cramped home convinced she can help him turn over a new leaf. For Trevor he sees a chance to show up his flashy brother-in-law and finally run things. Unfortunately Howard just cannot be one-upped. He is like a glass of sparkling champagne while Trevor is a pint of flat beer. A comic battle of wits is about to begin between the two men-but once again Trevor is outmatched.

• 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
