1970s ITV sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter as Rupert Rigsby (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

rising damp

(Other definitions for rising damp that I've seen before include "domestic problem" , "problem for propertied classes if it gets off the ground" , "problem home-owners may face" , "Rebellion needs control" , "old comedy programme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
