About this title

Synopsis

Rising Damp: The Complete Scripts celebrates the writing that brought Rising Damp a best situation comedy BAFTA. For the first time, the scripts from all four series of Rising Damp have been collected together. There's an introduction to the book by Eric Chappell, the award-winning creator of the show, and each individual script is introduced by show business writer Richard Webber.

About the Author

Eric Chappell took up full-time writing in 1973 after his first stage play, The Banana Box, produced at the Apollo Theatre, London, was an instant success. It later inspired the classic comedy series Rising Damp, produced by Yorkshire Television, which ran for four series from 1974 to 1978 and in its final year received the BAFTA Award for best situation comedy. Richard Webber is a writer and journalist specialising in showbusiness and, in particular, classic comedy.
