Rising Damp (film) than either Rigsby or her. Philip (Don Warrington) is not especially interested in Ruth, but he eggs Rigsby on in order to humiliate him. In adapting the television series to film, the setting was changed from Yorkshire to inner-city London. For her performance as Ruth Jones, Frances da la Tour received an Evening Standard British Film Award in the category of "Best Actress". A reviewer for "Time Out" wrote that the film "[demonstrates] that moderately droll TV boarding-house sitcoms ought not to be stretched to 98 minutes." David Parkinson wrote in the "Radio Times", "the absence of Richard Beckinsale does
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
