Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[Tal]

I'm a Joey fan, and more so since he was in the marvellous 'Episodes' on BBC2, but it feels like choosing your favourite child in a way.

The ensemble just works, the scripts were so tight and the timing nigh on perfect.

Truly was one of the great sitcoms (always preferred sitcoms to dramas. I'm sure that makes me shallow and inadequate, but whatever)

Have you watched Coupling? A sort of British equivalent. What it lacks in script, it more than makes up for in British comedy.

I would like to watch Coupling, but I never seem able to catch episode one.

Coupling, as in the old sitcom from the 80's/early 90's?

Just Google. The first episode was in 2004.

Ah, no I was thinking of Watching - a totally different old British sitcom.

Oh I remember Watching. He was a bird watcher who ha a motorbike and side car who lived with his mum, she was a pretty but fiesty little thing who wore bright colours and lived with her big sister Lisa Tarbuck.

I don't think she ever acted again after that.

I expected a more enlightened view from a man who lives in a glass house....

For a spell I was staying in the St George hotel in Liverpool, she walked up to the bar so I dropped the conversation I was having with a some guy at the bar & tried chatting her up, got nowhere and then when she went through for dinner and the bloke went with her, I'd been sitting next to her hubby. They were OK about it - found it funny really. She was in panto with Paul Robinson from Neighbours, who was really short.

- never clocked that Nursey from Blackadder, Billy Mitchell from Eastenders & TV John from Hamish McBeth were in that.

She was very attractive. Not beautiful per se, but she did have that certain, Zooey Deschanel type je ne sais quoi that many men find irresistible.

She was lovely - and despite my faux pas she was very pleasant to talk to.
