Rising Damp S01 E04 Charisma

Alan wears an earring to attract the opposite sex, which Rigsby disapproves of. Alan sneaks Maureen into his room; Rigsby hears her and ejects her. Rigsby asks Miss Jones to a wrestling match, which she declines. Alan gives him some tablets and a Matt Monro LP, suggesting that he take one of the tablets and play the record whilst talking to her. Philip gives Rigsby a medallion to wear. After Rigsby leaves the room, Alan informs Philip that the tablets are tranquillisers which were withdrawn from the market because they turn the patients' urine green. Rigsby plays the record at the wrong speed, and she rejects his attempt to seduce her. He collapses and falls asleep for 24 hours. He sees a doctor, who tells him that the tablets are for pregnant women. Philip advises Rigsby to burn the wood of the love tree outside Miss Jones's room as an aphrodisiac. She finds the smell unpleasant, so she sprays Rigsby and the wood with water. Philip tells him that the piece of wood came off the wardrobe. Original Broadcast Date 6th December 1974.
