Not too sure what the BBC were trying to achieve with Nightwatch; perhaps someone can tell me. It's billed as a comedy on I-Player but to be honest and don't get me wrong, I like a good laugh, this failed to raise in the immortal words of the Frankie Howerd - a titter. Is it to showcase two siblings reminiscing about their childhood, which I wasn't that interested in, or is it about haunted locations, which appeared secondary to the inane waffle. I couldn't help wondering if Daisy May was there to make up the numbers; often appearing bored stiff.
Having struggle through two episodes and thought to myself I'm never going to get these sixty minutes back I resigned myself to leaving it there and started reading the phone book. It would appear I'm not alone in my observations as the ratings for the show are, shall we say less than encouraging.
If the BBC were hoping for a show about ghostly locations then sadly in my opinion it failed. Stick with the Uncanny I say! At a time when the BBC are struggling with claims of political bias and scandal and the licence fee once again being challenged. I'd have thought the revenue could be better spent elsewhere.
I strongly suggest Charlie Cooper Leave sis at home and continue with his Myth Country which was much better; sorry Daisy.
