This photo of Violet Carson (Ena Sharples), photographed in 1968, looking over the late '60s industrial landscape of Salford, Manchester is iconic. And it is one of the greatest photographs of an English thespian.

Don Warrington has recently defended the classic British sitcom Rising Damp, asserting that it should not be altered for contemporary audiences. He argues that the show, which originally aired in the 1970s, captures a specific time and cultural context that is essential to its identity. Warrington contends that any attempts to modify the content or themes to align with modern sensibilities risk undermining the show's original charm and social commentary.

He emphasises the importance of preserving its authentic voice, as the humour often reflects the societal attitudes and issues of the era, offering a valuable lens through which to examine the past. In his view, rather than sanitising or rewriting the series, it should be appreciated for its historical significance and the way it challenges viewers to engage with the complexities of its characters and situations. This perspective highlights the necessity of understanding and valuing classic television in its original form, rather than imposing contemporary interpretations that could dilute its impact.
