Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST

In space, no one can hear you laugh...

Prepare to boldly go where not many people want to go, as ALEX and ROBERT explore the 1977 pilot episode of Croft & Lloyd's COME BACK Mrs NOAH

Its a sci-fi comedy that was ahead of its time but a little bit too old fashioned as MOLLIE SUGDEN, in the title role, gets blasted into space in the year 2150.

Its one from the archives... but should it have stayed there?

Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST

OooOOooOOoooooOooo!!!

Spooky goings on as ALEX and ROBERT talk about GHOSTS the supernatural sitcom from the EX-HORRIBLE HISTORIES cast (now known as THEM THERE).

Running from 2019 to 2023 staring and created by MATHEW BAYNTON, SIMON FARNABY, MARTHA HOWE-DOUGLAS, JIM HOWICK, LAURENCE RICKARD and BEN WILLBOND and co-staring CHARLOTTE RITCHIE, KIELL SMITH-BYNOE, LOLLY ADEFOPE and KATY WIX the show tells the story of a group of eccentric ghosts and the long suffering couple trying to coexist in the rambling, falling apart, Button House.

A show so good it needs an extra long episode to discuss it all!

Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST

VWOOOORP! VWOOOORP! VWOOORP! Thanks to some wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey shenanagans fellow WE MADE THIS podcast THE TARDIS CREW has materialised inside YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING as BAZ GREENLAND and his son BEN GREENLAND join regular host ROBERT TURNBULL to talk about the 1999 RED NOSE special THE CURSE OF FATAL DEATH.

To help celebrate the network's 5 year anniversary our two podcasts team up and get to grips with this DOCTOR WHO comedy special. But is it more sitcom or more DOCTOR WHO?

Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST

Prepare for insanity as we revisit the 1996 surrealist sitcom, ASYLUM created by EDGAR WRIGHT and DAVID WALLIAMS and written by WRIGHT, WALLIAMS and the cast - including JULIAN BARRATT, SIMON PEGG, JESSICA HYNES and NORMAN LOVETT.

It’s weird, surreal and dark… but is it funny? ROBERT and ALEX do the hard work so you don’t have to as we take a deep dive into this oddity from the archives.

PLEASE NOTE: We had a mysterious sound issue at the time of recording (which turned out to be a faulty microphone). Apologies for the light crackle in places!

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST

Its Valentine's Day and love is in the air so to celebrate ROBERT TURNBULL and ALEX LYNCH do a compare and contrast of two classic, romantic comedy sitcoms; AS TIME GOES BY and GAVIN & STACEY.

Is there a meet-cute? Does anyone dash to the airport? Are there crossed wires or mistaken identity? Does boy meet girl, boy get girl, boy loose girl, boy get girl back? Or does girl do all the hard work?

We look at the tropes, characters and set ups in these two shows and ask if they really do embody rom-com.
