Watching Page 2

It's quite possible (I'm hesitant to say 'likely') that they will.

I would love to believe/agree with you but seeing as series one was released

...what? :)

Plenty of stuff has had only one series released until recently.

Sorry, went to check the year Second Thoughts Series 1 was released, but trailed off and hit post instead. Lol.

I loved this show at the time, but I've not seen it for years.

I remember trying to do eye make-up like Brenda's with my mum's eye shadow...a lot. :)

I have just seen an episode of this. I did love this back in the 1980s and it still made me chuckle in some places. Not sure I would want to watch all of them now though; but back then I could not wait for the next episode.

Watching is a real gem of a comedy series. It is very under rated in my opinion. The one liners that Emma Wray's character, Brenda, comes out with are very witty and funny.

Series 1-4 are good but the comedy moves up several gears once Brenda's mother comes into it.

I bought this on DVD from Network DVD a few years ago now and it still as funny.

I became a big fan of Watching a few years ago and bought the box set. Great performances from Emma Wray, Liza Tarbuck and Paul Bown, also Patsy Byrne as Malcolm's snooty mum. A special mention too for Noreen Kershaw who appears from Series 5 as the girls' scatty mum.

It also has the nostalgia factor too now! Emma Wray went on to star in a very underrated sitcom called My Wonderful Life, which I enjoyed a lot, although this does not appear to be available on DVD. She then seemed to leave the acting profession, which was a shame.....unless anyone knows any different? I am quite new to this comedy forum lark, so would welcome any news on this artiste.

Happened to catch a repeat of the original Radio play Watching on R4Extra yesterday and it was fantastic, much better than I remember the TV series to be but I only casually watched one or two at the time. Sparkling interplay between the two, I thought that's how to guarantee getting a TV commission. Available on BBC Sounds for any fans of the popular TV sitcom.

As I recall Liza Tarbuck was very comely in those days.
