Rising Damp was shaped by the knowing the characters, their motivations and insecurities, it operated on a different level to Fawlty Towers.

Rising Damp was comedy at its finest. Had the pleasure of meeting Leonard Rossiter at a school presentation back when I were a boy, he was an ex pupil at Liverpool Collegiate and returned for an awards event.
Too young to appreciate the greatness of the man at the time but still knew I was in the presence of someone special. Think @Lao may have been at the event too.

….one of the great City schools, I lived literally a few hundred yards away. Such a shame many of them don’t exist, my old school John Hamilton was a posh High School when I passed the 11+ in 1969 but it’s also no more now.

I wasn’t far behind you, passed 11+ in 1971. My older brother went to John Hamilton
