On a lighter note I watched an old epsiode of this on one of the extra channels and couldn't stop laughing at it,well worth a look in. It had Rigsby putting a welsh religious nutjob in with Philip who was intent on saving the souls in the house interrupting Rigsby when he was trying to get off with Miss Jones,priceless.

It was cardiff, the episode when Philip used a piece of wood off the furniture and convinced Rigbsy that burning it had aphrodisiac qualities and would give him a chance with Miss Jones was just as good too. Great comedy but I am showing my age now !

It is awful sexist and racist garbage. I know, I used to laugh my head off at it. But now I have been Guardianised and no longer laugh at it.
In fact I don't laugh at anything at all now. Someone might be watching and may report me. |

Truly brilliant and was a forerunner in exposing prejudice so superbly.
But the thickos don't understand real comedy and lambast it.... |

And now we have Mrs Brown's boys.

Spot on bix,how low can we sink ? The irony is that,just as charwell puts it, those programmes exposed prejudice to a wider population and left millions pondering the unfairness whilst the campaigners intensity today merely switches people off.

I wonder if they will remake Love Thy Neighbour?
|
|
By:
Hope not. That was crap.

Great cast led by the great Leonard Rossiter.
|
|
By:
Don Warrington was brilliantly cast as Philip the educated posh talking African.
He was everything that Rigsby wasn't. |
|
By:
classic sitcom. I assume Rossiter adlibbed quite a bit to pad out his lines. I can't believe all his brilliant mutterings were scripted, but I could be wrong.
Caught the episode the other day where Rigsby had purchased a car to impress Miss Jones and thought he'd run Vienna over in it. Hilarious stuff  |

I am recording every one of them - unbelievably good writing and acting

Nothing ever beats the legendary boxing match between Rigsby and Phillip
 Alan: "Use your experience Rigsby!" Miss Jones : "Kill'em Phillip!"  |
|
By:
Brilliant show. Loved it back then.
|
|
By:
Did it not come out that Philip was not from Africa?I think he had to admit he was from Croyden in one show.A good comedy with great casting.
|
|
By:
the one where he goes on a blind date is a total classic,rupert rigsby is up there with the comedy greats
|
|
By:
Loved them all but the one when they all go to The Grange for dinner and dancing and Rigsby borrows Spooners tuxedo is superb .

Favourite episode is the one with the fraudster (Henry McGee )

The sponsored fast episode is my favourite.
"C'mon Rigsby, where's your backbone?" "You won't have to ask soon, you'll be able to see it" |
|
By:
the episode with the grey lady is brilliant
|
|
By:
len r and don warrington used to play squash and rossiter though older would beat him almost all the time
|
|
By:
Playing squash probably hastened his demise.
|
|
By:
He approached everything like he was playing squash including acting. You can see it playing Rigsby, face contorted, sweating breathless. He must have been a very stressed man a lot of the time.
It was a great cast, when 'Miss Jones' is pretending to be Rigsby's wife with a f@g in the corner of her mouth, putting on a common accent she really got a chance to do her stuff. Pity they didn't get on, although perhaps they weren't that at odds as she did go to see him the night he died. |

He really was comedy gold.A complete one off
There will never be another  |

It's Miss Jones birthday and Rigsby is under the impression that he'll be taking her and8out for a meal only to find that Phillip has also secured a date with her.In the end they all go for the meal together,Miss Jones mesmerized by Phillip with Rigsby feeling inferior and desperate to impress.The band is playing a jazz tune,Rigsby waiting for a chance to ask Miss Jones for a dance,raises a cupped hand to mouth and shouts,'How abaaaa a waltz then!'
