Rising Damp
The odious landlord of a run-down boarding house is riotously one-upped by his tenants in this top-rated 1970s Britcom. Miserly, mean-spirited Rupert Rigsby is the character Britain loved to loathe—think Archie Bunker in the US. Re-created as a feature film, the hit series reaches new heights of hilarity.
