Rising Damp

Rigsby puts a personal advert in the newspaper, a small classified notice placed among other personal ads. The advert generates an unexpected reply, which Rigsby receives shortly after posting it. This surprising response catches him off guard and prompts his curiosity.

Pink Carnations is a television programme presented in the format of a single episode. It falls under the general heading of a programme rather than a series, and its title alone identifies the work without reference to any broader production details such as cast, crew or broadcast year. The central narrative follows the character Rigsby, who decides to place a personal advertisement in a newspaper. To his surprise, the advert elicits a response that he did not anticipate, setting the stage for the episode’s unfolding events. This unexpected reply becomes the focal point of the story, driving the episode’s action and highlighting the unforeseen consequences of Rigsby’s decision to reach out through the press. The plot remains tightly bound to this single incident, offering a concise glimpse into how a simple personal notice can generate an unpredicted reaction.
