Emma Wray breaks your heart, but the whole cast were great!
The best is when Brenda leaves Malcolm an answerphone message n when he plays it back, he talks to it n they are actually having a conversation!
That was funny!
🤣
Nice retrospective but why am I down as Myrtle Devenish?! The wife is in for a shock,
Are you Dave Dutton the dialect writer from Atherton? Got a few of your books.
@@johnathanryan2117 yes, that’s me. Thank you for buying them. 👍
@@dutty No worries, keep up the good work.
I did wonder about that!!! lol
I wondered exactly the same thing!
I used to be teased and called Brenda by my then husband, the resemblance between her and I being uncanny. I am delighted to see she has aged really well, there is hope for me 😂
I always loved 'Watching'. Emma Wray was like a breath of fresh air when the programme first came on and as time went by I couldn't understand why t.v. companies weren't falling over themselves to get Her on air. I miss Her!!
I went to Meols once. I saw the row of houses where Malcolm and his mother lived, but couldn't work out which was theirs.
I didn't stay long. There's bugger all there and people started appearing at their windows and staring out at me.
When I told someone in New Brighton that I'd been there, they said "Whatever for?" in a horrified tone.
This show is great as it made me laugh and cry, the days out Brenda and Malcolm had together and the scene from the last episode of series 6 nearly had me in tears but I’m glad things were sorted after. ✌️😙
After the success of " Bread" it was probably a Merseyside based show that tried to capitalise, althogh it was very good in its own right...gentle, inoffensive and of its time, Emma Wray definitely " drove" it at times. Good stuff, lovely review.
I loved the theme song to this sitcom sung by the leading actress I believe. I think Ken Jones was also in the 80s sitcom Valentine Park. Anybody else remember it? He was one of those familiar faces who starred in eighties sitcoms but I didn't know his name until now. Watching used to be shown over here in Northern Ireland on Fridays which was also the evening that a grocery van came to our estate. Now the only services our house gets is the post man.Its wonderful how shows like these bring back memories of a more simpler time.
Part of the Valentine Park song went
" We maybe beginners,
But we could be winners.
Meet me in Valentine Park"
It's wonderful how these lyrics are still rattling around my 50 year old brain.
He was in the wackers sitcom
@@sophieboult310 I don't remember that. I take it you mean Wackers was the NAME of a sitcom.
I had a crush on Emma Wray when this was on, it was a great comedy and inoffesnsive.... I wish they would bring it back
I just like her wholesome image and she was just perfect and not irritating at all...
She's still very attractive.
I'm just binge 'Watching' it, sorry I'll get my hat & coat. The comedy is timeless.
Enjoyed this on Forces TV recently!!
Thanks for Watching Watching Cast & Characters Then and Now. Watching: Series 1-7 [DVD]** - amzn.to/3uBxOZt
Excellent update as usual - there’s a mistake when for the Dave Dutton information. Somebody else’s info appears 😎
I enjoyed show when it came out. It was good to see it again on forces TV recently
I absolutely loved this show and recently I saw all of the series on a channel called Forces Network (I think) and I really enjoyed them all over again, Forces Network is now ended so I don`t know if another TV station will ever show it again but it was so much fun with Brenda and her quick wit. Emma Wray was small and very cute and was the star of the show.
The channel was actually called Forces TV which closed down for good on Thursday 30 June 2022. It was the home of classic comedies such as Watching, Home To Roost, Doctor Who and May To December amongst others.
@@FloatiesBoy1978 yes, it is a shame that we will not get to see these terrific programs now but continue to get the repeats of newer shows.
@@honestchris7472 True. ITV3 is technically still the home of classic programmes such as Heartbeat, A Touch Of Frost etc. Truthfully there should be a another channel on Freeview in particular that should take over the role that Forces TV left behind. Fingers crossed it could happen someday.
I wondered what had happened to Forces network it disappeared 2 weeks ago has it ended now
There didn't seem to be any warning forces TV was going to close down it was there one day and gone the next
P.S. Paul Brown was also on one epesod of Last of the Summer Wine🙂
I used to listen to the theme tune then turn over. It had the Sunday evening slot in spring /summer 87.
I never really liked this if I'm honest but the girl I was chasing liked it, so when I went round to her olds house to see her, I had to sit through a few episodes as it was on about the bloody time I went round. Still, lots of memories from good old 1991. Thanks for sharing.
Really nice series with a good cast. Liz Crowther was in Shoestring too?
Yes, she was
Used to love this x
Great program
Did anyone notice a sister disappeared? Susan I think they said in the show. Never seen, just talked about, then bear the end when everyone is living with Brenda's mum, no Susan😲🤔
Sandra
Emma Wray was both talented and beautiful.
Dissapeared after Watching ended
She did another series where she was a nurse and Tony Robinson was her neighbour. All I can remember from it is Robinson's screen wife moaning about his skidmarks.
She "Went travelling" after that and was no longer listed in the acting directory.
I saw it mentioned in an article a while back that she was campaigning about something, but I've forgotten what.
That was My Wonderful Life (1997)
How could you forget her in the other hit TV show she was in after Watching, + Stay Lucky, which was: My Wonderful Life which was on for 3 series!
Also liked her in that episode of hit anthology TV series: Screen Two in Episode-Defrosting the Fridge. from 1989 last saw it repeated on TV number of years ago.
@@JohnSmith-te4xf 1996-1999
Perry Fenwick was in an episode of On The Up.
Paul brown was also in last of the summer wine Xmas special 😍
Apparently, me and Liza Tarbuck share a birthday, but I've had a couple more than her....
Phil fox could star as prince Andrew in a TV show
yeah called " the paedo prince ".
Lisa tarbuck is the only one who looks BETTER now then she did THEN.Allso strange how Emma Wrey just seemed to disappear without trace as soon as it finished.
She did some other stuff in the 90s but vanished around 1999. I heard she became a nanny and gave up acting all together.
What dreadful music
Like Bread, Watching was full of unsympathetic characters. Charmless fare.
I disagree with you there Chris!
@@mikekaraoke Respect!
Shut up cliff
Loved this show always had the hots for Emma
You and any lad who had lead in his pencil....Including me!
so cyril doesn't get a mention then???????
