Returning in disguise after various attempts at finding a 'new life', he gets his old job back and finds nothing has changed.

That becomes so successful that he feels he has created a monster and decides to destroy it. In the third and final series he has a dream of forming a commune which his long suffering colleagues help bring to reality.

Leonard Rossiter Starrings Leonard Rossiter Richard Beckinsale Don Warrington Francis De La Tour	Rising Damp : This is the film not the series. Rising Damp is generally regarded as the finest sitcom produced by ITV, the BBC's main commercial rival, during its 50 years on air. The claustrophobic saga of a boarding house where a stingy, nervy, clumsily lecherous landlord, two students and a fluttery but oddly alluring spinster play out an endless round-dance of mutual attraction is one of the perennial, timeless joys of British TV.	1980	98

Starrings Leonard Rossiter Rodney Bews Tom Courtney Wilfred Pickles Julie Christie	Film not series A young British clerk in a gloomy undertaker's office, Billy (Tom Courtenay) is bombarded daily by the propaganda of the media that all things are for the asking. This transparently false doctrine, coupled with the humdrum job and his wild imagination, leads him on frequent flights to "Ambrosia," a mythical kingdom where he is crowned king, general, lover or any idealized hero the real situation of the moment makes him desire. The only person in his life capable of bringing him down to earth is Liz, and she's having a difficult time of it. Finally, he gets his life sufficiently in order to leave for London with his true love. Billy still hasn't come to grips with the real world by the end of the film. He leaves the train to buy milk from a vending machine and watches the train slowly pull out for London with Liz aboard. He returns to the more comfortable shelter of his parents home, Ambrosia and his imagination.	1963	98	WANTED
