[@Stevenc1984]

The acting is incredible, especially Leonard Rossiter.

[@zaftra]

the bladder etc is often called 'the water works'

[@daviddalby8537]

Matt Monro was the stage name of Terry Parsons. A former bus driver from the 1960s.

[@grahamharley4895]

You may know that the young Richard Beckinsale went on to feature with Ronnie Barker in the very funny Porridge series, sadly dying from a heart attack at only 31.

[@stevencarr4002]

Rising Damp episodes got better and better as the series went on

[@WasiuAlatise]

Take me back to the 70s when it was OK to be white

[@Forestfalcon1]

Great reaction.. There's another incredibly well loved and funny British comedy series no other KZbinr seems to have noticed called the "Brittas Empire" which ran for 7 series with 52 episodes total.. This series has some of the funniest moments in British comedy too..

[@MeganRuth]

Thank you! And thanks for the suggestion!

[@Tone-def]

​@@MeganRuth hi Megan, (another suggestion) The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is a British sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter in the title role. It is based on a series of novels written by David Nobbs and produced from 1976 to 1979. Nobbs adapted the screenplay for the first series from the novel. (wiki)

[@rikspilz4991]

Taffe316 from America has definitely noticed it.

[@bwilson5401]

Matt Monroe was one of Sinatras favourite singers.He sang From Russia with Love and Born Free to name a few.

[@trevordance5181]

Far from being a Prince in an African tribe, it later transpired that Philip came from Croydon in South London.

[@mickyfinn1948]

Gosh this takes me back, Megan! Such fun characters from, what now seems, another world! 😄🙏

[@WasiuAlatise]

Take me back to the 70s when it was OK to be white

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Saying 'pass water' is a polite way of saying urinate so I guess using water instead of pee or piss is the same thing.

[@MeganRuth]

ah I figured as much! Thanks!

[@K_one_w_one]

​@@MeganRuthyes the early flushing toilets were called a WC or the water closet. The W for water refers to the water that flushed the toilet but also jokingly to mean wee.

[@markthomas2577]

Matt Monro was a Brish crooner and ballad singer in the 1960s, had a few hits including Born Free, the song from the film about Lions. He was a very good singer.

[@CraigWrightStraygoat]

"From Russia With Love" theme as well.

[@trevordance5181]

​@@CraigWrightStraygoatI believe Frank Sinatra is on record as saying that Matt Monro was the best singer that he'd ever heard.

[@andywrong3247]

Mona Lisa & Italian job 1969 the beginning of the film driving on the narrow mountain roads before the tunnel ( on days like these).

[@vallee3140]

So pleased you are watching the full episodes, one of the funniest sit coms about then.

[@WasiuAlatise]

Take me back to the 70s when it was OK to be white

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

You'll love the next episode, we get to meet another resident the wrestler Spooner who can't stand Rigsby, Great stuff Ruth

[@097534]

Matt Monroe was a great English singer who had a huge hit with the title song of Born Free the movie

[@markdavidson9100]

I like the banter between Philip and Alan, despite the small room, they respect each other

[@andrewdoubtfire4700]

Matt Monroe sung a classic Bond theme, From Russia With Love.

[@martindunstan8043]

I didn't know that, I thought he only had the born free number, I should get out more🤣👍

[@alexistarr]

The term 'water' is a polite euphemism that a doctor might use when talking to patients when they want to avoid the use of the cold and clinical medical term urine, but were the use of terms like piss would seem overly crude and inappropriate.

[@user-jg5ie8rc1s]

Thank you for showing the full episode and not editing it in any way. I can barely remember the series, but I do remember him and the cast as being quite funny, and, of course, the amazing Don Warrington has now moved on to somewhat sunnier climes.

[@MeganRuth]

You're very welcome! It is quite an enjoyable series :)

[@user-jg5ie8rc1s]

@@MeganRuth Took me back to my youth, although I was not yet born when the series was first broadcast. The planets had yet to align, apparently.

[@jonathanross812]

Your placid chuckles are pretty well representative of the warm mirth we felt when this was first aired in the ''70's.

[@maudeboggins9834]

I loved this show the first time round. A stellar cast. RIP Mr. Rossiter & Mr. Beckensale. Frances de la Tour & Don Warrington still going

[@Sidistic_Atheist]

We had WC's back then (Water Closets) OMG!! How old am I ?? Sadly. Old enough to remember watching *Rising Damp 1974* when the first hit the TV in the 70's. I was 9 yrs old. 🤯 You should think about watching *The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin 1976* next. Leonard Rossiter was great and just as funny in that series too.

[@MWB5150]

Great video Megan, love your reactions & observations 👍

[@MeganRuth]

Thank you! ☺️

[@trevorlsheppard7906]

Hello Megan ,these have stood test of time well ,I take your point about the house rule, hands off ,but Rigsby is their landlord 😮😮❤

[@MeganRuth]

yes I know! Which makes the house rule even more important! Imagine breaking up with your landlord... that wouldn't end well! 😆

[@Sara_MZK]

It's awesome to see newcomers to this timeless, wonderful show enjoying it so much! I grew up watching it as a kid, and it's still one of my all time faves. The writing of Eric Chappell was just amazing. So many shows from those times where race plays a factor, have aged terribly. But Rising Damp holds up because the ignorant and prejudicial attitudes towards Philip are clearly supposed to be laughed at, rather than along with. It's shown up for the ridiculous nonsense it was/is. I think the character of Phillip was groundbreaking for British television back then. The entire first series is as golden as what came later for me, the "love wood" is still one of the most hilarious things Ive ever seen in a sitcom! lol Loved watching your reaction to this classic of British TV.

[@brucedowney9164]

Nice one Megan classic sitcom from back in the day.. still good for laughs. 🤭

[@MeganRuth]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@brucedowney9164]

@@MeganRuth With you ❤️

[@natmanprime4295]

lol at the mug! yes, its A funny show! that is a CORRECT ASSESSMENT

[@davidmckie7128]

When people went to the doctors, they generally didn't like to use medical terms or slang names out of embarrasment, so the genitalia were referred to as "water works" and people had trouble "passing water" or trouble "with my water works".

[@johnhewett9483]

Nice reaction Megan Classic comedy. I think referring to the urine that years ago you would refer to it as water. Never piss, not even nowadays.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Leonard Rossiter was an excellent actor, his 'The Rise and Fall of Reggie Perrin' may be the high point of British sitcoms. He was good enough to feature in two Stanley Kubrick films, as well. Must have had the patience of a saint, and a brain as well. ;-)

[@user-jg5ie8rc1s]

In the future you may want to peruse the series Porridge, quite funny also.

[@MeganRuth]

yes it's on my list!

[@user-jg5ie8rc1s]

@@MeganRuth That's a good list, I must say

[@dazslf]

Truly great reaction Megan, so natural. Bless

[@MeganRuth]

Thank you!

[@francinefernandes2007]

Water was a polite term for wee/urine/piss. Matt Monro was a British singer considered to be one of the greatest vocalist of the twentieth century in the genre of Sinatra

[@KRPTV]

Hi Megan, I think you may have missed an episode, this is episode 4! Great episode though all the same, the scene with the pills and when he sets fire to the wood was hilarious!😄😄😄😄

[@ThunderForce2000]

“Please extinguish your stick!”

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

78, 45 and 33rpm records were extremely popular. My son has a working juke box full of 60 45 records!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤📀📀📀📀💿💿💿📀📀📀🎶🎵🎵🎶

[@andywrong3247]

Water green means his urine,matt Monroe was an ex bus driver who was discovered he could sing he had big hits in the 50s 60s&70s ,,he was a crooner frank sinatra said he was one of the best.rigsby was a lonely man it was innocent flirting but in fairness miss Jones was man fond.saying water more polite back in the day.

[@andrewsmith2757]

Like I said in another post on another episode, so far no episode has ever been censored. Not in the UK nor DVDs in the UK... so far.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Leonard Rosster....is very good in great film "BARRY LYNDON" with Ryan O'Neal and Marissa Berenson...period piece...❤❤👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@ajivins1]

They're only short (obviously) but Rossiter did some Cinzano adverts with Joan Collins that were very funny

[@colinglen4505]

We did commonly use the word 'water' for urine, especially doctors etc.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

The record player had 3 speeds, for 3 different types of records, old 40s up now.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Rigsby's necklaces!!!!!😆😅😄😃😂😁😀😂😃😄😅

[@curtrupp4259]

Fall and rise of Reginald Perrin is good

[@aranerem5569]

Good reaction

[@freddiem8801]

'water' is just a polite way of saying Pee.

[@trevorlsheppard7906]

Matt Monroe was a sixties singer in the style of Frank Sinatra ❤.

[@MeganRuth]

Ah, thanks! :)

[@ianjones2187]

That’s an insult to frank that

[@bexbugoutsurvivor]

Tt seems so long since the last Rising Damp, Hope you keep them up....x

[@MeganRuth]

Yes I'm reacting to a few things right now! But I will keep watching Rising Damp, don't worry! :)

[@rod370]

Hi, By water turning green. He meant your wee turning green.

[@petermizon4344]

YES SAYING WEE WASNT COPL IN THOSE DAYS

[@petermizon4344]

BRILLIANT THIS SHOW EVEN TODAY, YOU WOULD LOVE PETER KAY I PHOENIX NIGHTS FOLLOWED BY THE SPIN OFF CALLED MAX AND PADDY 😊

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

"Pissed" is being drunk. Urine might've been banned in 70's. "Pass water" is British, too.🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@stevehartley7504]

Matt Munro 50s+ singer

[@michael10662]

Kate Beckinsale dad

[@Rocky19577]

When he said turn your water green he means tirn your piss (urine) green. Thats the side effect. It don't mean water out of the tap.. oh my days🙄🙄

[@Rocky19577]

Say water to be polite

[@ZEUSDAZ]

No don't agree with the "off limits" thing, if we all did that then many of us would never have met our partners,...I myself met my former fiance at the work place which lasted 5yrs and later on met my now wife also at our place of work 15yrs ago, I've had 1 bad experience at work but those are the risks.

[@MeganRuth]

I never said work! I said living with. I also met my current partner at work, actually :) Living with is more complicated though because they are more difficult to avoid if it doesn’t work out… and even more complicated if they’re your landlord!

[@jim7831]

I suggested this show to the afterwork reactions channel, and one of his followers said not to watch as the show was racist. Fools

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

"Water" is urine

[@katyevans5658]

Saying water is decorum ..sadly lacking these days

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

[@user-jg5ie8rc1s]

Very curious, what does the mug say?

[@MeganRuth]

it says "For Fox Sake" :)

[@user-jg5ie8rc1s]

@@MeganRuth I thought it said "What does the fox say?" I was looking forward to your response, but, in fairness, that's probably funny enough.

[@zigman63]

Don't forget political correctness PC didn't exist in the way it is, I remember back in them days when i had bedsits etc if there was a girl on another floor or bedsits you definitely did the old Have you got any sugar. Lol

[@eddhardy1054]

4:44...You do realise that Rigsby & Ms Jones aren't flatmates. He owns the building and Ms Jones rents a room off him so i don't think your 'flatmate rules' really apply eh?

[@MeganRuth]

yes I'm aware! But him being her landlord the rule should apply even more! Imagine breaking up with your landlord? 😅

[@katyb6979]

Back then you had never heard the phrase ‘misgendering someone’…

[@Myrobik]

Wrong speeds on records 78's 40s and early 50s 45 's and 33's of the late 50's 60s and 70s were actually the greatest musical thing to happen in the 20th C. Outside of reel to reel it was responsible for some of the greatest modern jazz and other great forms of impro music. The late 80s 90s and to now, .With the digital age and binary tech slowing down became easy however CD's and recording studios could do wonders but the downside was digital cleaned up on a lot of audio lost , crucial to the developing musician., Analog true to the ear; records -turntable , reel to reel. SO the wrong speeds of yester year was the greatest tool for a young jazz musician on the road to becoming great.
