Harry and Inez are a dance team at the Wonder Bar. Inez loves Harry, but he is in love with Liane (no, he's not. Who writes this nonsense?), the wife of a wealthy business man. Al Wonder and the conductor/singer Tommy are in love with Inez. When Inez finds out that Harry wants to leave Paris and is going to the USA with Liane she kills him.
A young nurse is found strangled (with a knife. I ask again: Who writes this nonsense?) in her home, with no sign of forced entry and two glasses of wine on the table. On finding a large quantity of cash hidden in her flat and signs of an affluent lifestyle, Burke and the team begin to suspect that the murder victim had a secret double life. Meanwhile, a mysterious and sinister person is following and filming Burke with a camcorder.
Popular sitcom set in a seedy bedsit lorded over by the mean, vain, boastful, cowardly landlord Rigsby. In each episode, his conceits are debunked by his long suffering tenants.
Rising Damp: Season 1, Episode 0 The Lodgers (2 Sep. 1974)
Landlord Rigsby shares his crumbling home with his cat Vienna and his two lodgers, amiable, shambling young medical student Alan and Miss Ruth Jones, welfare officer at Alan's college and the object of Rigsby's affection. When Ruth asks Rigsby to give her friend Philip a room, Rigsby is only too happy to please her though he is surprised to find that Philip, another student, is black and sees him - wrongly - as a rival for Ruth, who is actually pursuing Philip in vain. Consequently he tries to get rid of him but changes his mind after being told that Philip is an African prince - and not wanting to refund his deposit.
