Watching is finally being shown

My favourite sitcom, Watching, with Paul Bown and Emma Wray is finally being repeated. Whoo hoo! It's not been shown for at least 20 years.
Consistently funny over the 7 series and 56 episodes, apart from the fashions of late 80s early 90s it has aged well.
No smut, no swearing just a sharply observed masterpiece of comedy. Only one small scene that I can think of that people may find offensive.

Starts next week on Forces TV.
It is also being shown on BritBox also from early March.

Bit like buses you wait for ages then 2 show up at same time!

Yes,I enjoyed it too.Amusing and informative.
What scene was that then???

And, by coincidence, "Malcolm" is in this week's episode of Death in Paradise as we speak.

Previously known as "Ignorant Of"?

THis was a great show with great one liners and strong characters, I hope it stands the test of time as I loved it first time around .

Just rewatched it again and IMHO it stands the test of time. Apart from the fashions of the time, some of Brenda's outfits are really out there

The dialogue is sharp and witty and the one liners are first class.
Example:

Pam, Brenda's sister, talking to her boyfriend, as she walk towards the record player: "I am going to take off my cardi, and put on a record"

Brenda: "You will never get your head through the small hole"
