Watching was predominantly a 3-hander starring Emma Wray & Lisa Tarbuck as a paid of sisters and someone playing Emma's boyfriend. They just watch people in the pub and Emma's boyfriend is a birdwatcher. Small wonder that I can blame the Webleys for introducing us to it. A little like Beiderbecke.

Thing is I need a sympathetic character because if I dislike all the characters then that gets in the way of my finding any of the jokes funny. In truth I've disliked nearly everything Perry & Croft did. It Ain't 'Alf Hot, You Rang M'Lord and Are You Being Served? Not a pretty collection.
