Beckinsale's career soared in the early 1970s when he appeared in the British sitcom "The Lovers," where he displayed his comedic prowess.

When I watched porridge with my dad many many many years ago, i always thought that godber was always perfect for richard. It matched his acting style perfectly. Wish we could have had many more years with him. An absolute legend in the industry

Hi, I reckon he was so brilliant he made it look that way - he played a very nasty piece of work in a TV play and that looked perfect for him too!

Absolutely 😩😩😩😩. No mention of the simply lovely Samantha. I’ve always blamed his second wife for keeping Samantha in the background. I judge this on interviews she gave following his death. Living image of Richard

He was genetically predisposed to very high cholesterol. Both of his parents had sky high cholesterol but in the 70’s little was understood about its dangers. My grandma talks about having beef fat sandwiches. They called it dripping. What we either grill or air fry now was fried in lard back then!! Im surprised anyone saw past the age of 25,what with consuming all that saturated fat,smoking and boozing. We now live much longer lives because of cutting these things out and boy does it feel longer😂😳⚰️

Rising damp for me. It was a fantastic comedy that had all my family in stitches, especially the episode with the ghost. Loved the car episode, and when he accidently slipped in the garage still lingers in my mind. I'm sure that he'd be very proud of Kate.

I am crying right now in memory of dear Richard Beckinsale - my own father and I (plus the family) loved him so much in Porridge and Rising Damp - these were family times when we'd all sit together and watch, so it has brought back many fond memories for me. I had a big teenage crush on Richard and thought he was the most handsome actor on the planet. I was so sad when he died and my heart went out to his wife and daughter Kate. I still remember the headlines. Thank you Richard for all the memories and the laughs, I have been watching Rising Damp again on You Tube and having belly laughs, such a machine gun script and great gags. Thank you for this. xxx

I wish people would do their research before posting videos on here. The actor Richard Beckingsale was married to Margaret Bradley, they had a daughter named Samantha born in 1966. She grew up to become an actress. Beckingsale divorced her mother and much later married Judy Loe, they also had a daughter named Kathrin (Kate) born in 1973. Who is an actress Richard didn't have much to do with Samanthas early life up until about the age of 11, they reconciled just before his death.
