So glad to find out what the mystery of the weirdly edited poster was all about...the travelling pink box didn't quite keep up with Rigsby as he swung the sign around, and this produces quite a weird effect of the obscuring box not quite obscuring what's under it at times! It's such a noticeable thing onscreen; I would have thought that for the new DVD set, they might've gotten in there and done something digital! At any rate, thanks for satisfying my curiosity about this. This seems like something that might qualify as a "blooper"--I thought I'd see this explanation on the episode-guide page...
: This is indeed true, the Rising Damp poster was
: clearly referring to a real MP, and he took

: round it by airbrushing out the name!

: Hi, all, thanks for a great site! In the
: episode Stand Up and Be Counted, the poster
: advertisng the Labour candidate seems to be
: 'doctored' on screen. I once read that the
: name of 'Pender' was on the posterand as
: there was a real MP of that name at that time
: that is why it was doctored that way (As
: there may have been resentment at being mixed
: up with the 'gay' candidate in the espisode)
: Can anyone clarify that for me - thanks. Marc
