Rigsby is back in this original, interesting and fun book which celebrates one of the most popular British sitcoms of all time – Rising Damp. The goings on at Rigsby's place have been addictive viewing ever since the front door of his dilapidated boarding house opened in 1974. During the seventies, 18 million viewers would enjoy following the ups but mainly the downs of the principal characters. Rupert Rigsby, the seedy landlord played to perfection by Leonard Rossiter, Alan Moore (Richard Beckinsale) the naive medical student, Miss Jones (Frances de la Tour), spinster and the unwanted recipient of Rigsby's affections and the confident Philip Smith (Don Warrington) the son of an African tribal chief, or so he claimed. In this book there are 300 thought provoking questions covering all 28 episodes from the four series and the movie. Along with the quizzes you’ll find fascinating behind the scenes information about the writer, the stars and those who visited or stayed, albeit briefly as tenants in Rigsby’s bleak house. Featuring an exclusive Foreword by the creator and writer of the series Eric Chappell, this is the ultimate book on one of Britain’s most popular sitcoms ever and its iconic character Rigsby – the heaven sent landlord from hell.

Journalist, presenter, broadcaster, husband, father, vigorous all-rounder - Alan Partridge - a man with a fascinating past and an amazing future. Gregarious and popular, yet Alan's never happier than when relaxing in his own five-bedroom, south-built house with three acres of land and access to a private stream. But who is this mysterious enigma? Alan Gordon Partridge is the best - and best-loved - radio presenter in the region. Born into a changing world of rationing, Teddy Boys, apes in space and the launch of ITV, Alan's broadcasting career began as chief DJ of Radio Smile at St. Luke's Hospital in Norwich. After replacing Peter Flint as the presenter of Scout About, he entered the top 8 of BBC sports presenters. But Alan's big break came with his primetime BBC chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You. Sadly, the show battled against poor scheduling, having been put up against News at Ten, then in its heyday. Due to declining ratings, a single catastrophic hitch (the killing of a guest on air) and the dumbing down of network TV, Alan's show was cancelled. Not to be dissuaded, he embraced this opportunity to wind up his production company, leave London and fulfil a lifelong ambition to return to his roots in local radio. Now single, Alan is an intensely private man but he opens up, for the second time, in this candid, entertaining, often deeply emotional - and of course compelling - memoir, written entirely in his own words. (Alan quickly dispelled the idea of using a ghost writer. With a grade B English Language O-Level, he knew he was up to the task.) He speaks touchingly about his tragic Toblerone addiction, and the painful moment when unsold copies of his first autobiography, Bouncing Back, were pulped like 'word porridge'. He reveals all about his relationship with his ex-Ukrainian girlfriend, Sonja, with whom he had sex at least twice a day, and the truth about the thick people who make key decisions at the BBC. A literary tour de force, I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan charts the incredible journey of one of our greatest broadcasters.
