Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST
It's Halloween and ROBERT and ALEX get their spooky on to discuss the 2001 sitcom, Dr TERRIBLE'S HOUSE OF HORRIBLE from STEVE COOGAN and GRAHAM DUFF.
Is this a chillingly good blast from the past worthy of resurrection or shambling zombie that should stay dead and buried? Find out our thoughts in our latest hauntingly ghoul... I mean good... episode.

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast all about the sometimes odd world of British sitcoms.
In this episode we’re joined once again by MARK ADAMS from SHIPWRECKED & COMATOSE: A RED DWARF PODCAST as we delve headfirst into series one of the Grant/Nayler sitcom THE 10%ERS
Yes, having previously teamed up to discuss the 1993 pilot episode (available to listen to now in our back catalogue!), we thought we'd do the only honourable thing and return for a full review of the first series!

Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST
It’s time to get political as ROBERT and ALEX discuss the 1984 Christmas Special of YES, MINISTER and the 1987 first episode of THE NEW STATESMAN.
In the run up to the 2024 UK general election we thought we'd do a compare and contrast on how these two very different shows tackle politics!
WARNING: while all care has been taken to stay politically balanced this episode does contain extremely strong language as well as extremely strong opinions on the Tory party bastards who have wrecked our country over the past 14 years... *
*Other political opinions are available*
