Watch It is a 1966 Australian television play by Richard Barry. It was an episode of Australian Playhouse.[1]
When watchmaker Ronnie meets a man with a very special wristwatch - it sets his partner Bill on the road to a spell in the cells.[2]
Designer Douglas Smith hired $3,500 worth of watches and clocks. It was reportedly Ed Devereaux's first comedy.[3]
The Age TV critic said the plot "was rather thin... yet the story had its moments and a dialogue that sparked and entertained. It was even good fun. I should rate it as one of the best in the series."[4]
