Watch revues call in comic (12)

I believe the answer is:

surveillance

'watch' is the definition.
(surveillance is keeping watch)

'revues call in comic' is the wordplay.
'comic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'revues'+'call'+'in'='revuescallin'
'revuescallin' is an anagram of 'SURVEILLANCE'.

(Other definitions for surveillance that I've seen before include "Covert observation" , "Close observation" , "Watch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
