Watching (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478272724)

Ben Francis is an astonishingly good all-round author, often on subjects that are simply more interesting in his hands. Ben examines the making and aftermath of one of the UK's television situation comedy national treasures, Watching. Along the way you'll discover the characters who made this national treasure such an enormous success and the warm welcome the British public gave to the show. There are some surprisingly interesting research conclusions in this witty but, also serious examination of where this situation comedy has been, how it got to the very pinnacle of television comedy and, how it has remained in the national psyche after more than twenty-five years since it was first broadcast in 1987.
