Rising Damp a chief's son from Africa, but from Croydon, adopting his false persona to start a new life and gain respect. When Rigsby finds out, he tells Philip that he believes he must have some royal ancestry and he does not tell the rest of the characters about his deception. This plotline is from the original stageplay "The Banana Box". the series is still repeated on UK digital channel ITV3; Easter saw the entire series and film shown over the four-day holiday, accompanied by a brand new two-part documentary, "Rising Damp Forever", featuring cast and crew recollections on the making of
Damp (structural) D Hoff in their paper "Rising damp: capillary rise dynamics in walls". The analysis is based on experimentally well established properties of porous building materials and the physics of evaporation from building surfaces. Hall and Hoff show that the model can be used to predict the height to which damp will rise in a wall. The height of rise depends on the wall thickness, the sorptivity of the wall structure and the rate of evaporation. Further work has confirmed experimentally the importance of mortar properties in determining the height to which damp will rise in walls. "BRE Digest" 245 lists
