Rigsby pulls the “Oh, well, there is another room that might be better for you, and I could let you have it for half the rent of this” ploy. It’s only after John agrees to take the other larger, far more attractive room at half the rent, and has paid Rigsby, that he learns he’ll be sharing the room with another student, Philip.

Some viewers may recall Dehnolm Elliott from the many roles he played in movies coming out of both England and Hollywood. His role as Seymour is played extremely well and to the hilt in dress, speech, and mannerisms, and he has Rigsby even shining his shoes for him. He comes in during the second half of the movie and Miss Jones falls for him immediately. Seymour is only trying to get her money. John and Phillip try to convince Rigsby of this, but he refuses to believe them.

There are several hilarious scenes in which Rossitor shows off his superb talent, playing to the hilt the buffoon, the narrow-minded, pompous ass who sees himself as on par with Superman and Albert Einstein both. During one scene he does an impeccable Keith Richards-like character impression. He hams it up, over-emoting and over-dramatizing, which makes it all the funnier.

In another scene the characters are talking about Rigsby’s lack of experience with women, and John remarks sotto voce to Philip that Rigsby doesn’t know where the erogenous zones are. Rigsby overhears, and retorts, “Of course I do - somewhere near the equator aren't they?”

The ending takes a surprisingly compassionate twist, showing that despite all the arguing and bickering among Rigsby, Miss Jones, Philip, and John, there’s a common bond after all, when they stick together while facing off against Seymour.

The series was so popular in England that at one time a parody song was made about it, and the song got enough airplay to become a short-lived major hit. It’s sung to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun."
