34. COME BACK MRS NOAH
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?

32. ASYLUM
Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST

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!
