Britainology 80: 'Rising Damp' (1974) (Patreon)

For this month's second Britainology, Nate and Milo watched the pilot episode of the 1974-1978 ITV sitcom RISING DAMP, which represents the cornerstone of British social relations: dealing with a landlord. But it's also a strange snapshot of a bygone era, a surprisingly close-to-the-truth depiction of mid-'70s UK material culture, and an opportunity for Nate and Milo to talk about just about every possible tangentially related point. Would we watch more episodes? Probably not. But we at least had a chance to posit the existence of Serbian Harry Potter.
