Listen Later

Greetings citizens and welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms.

In this episode, Tony Black & Robert Turnbull travel back to ancient Pompeii--or should that be the very early 1970s--to discuss bawdy Frankie Howerd-starring sitcom UP POMPEII!, which ran through the 1970s and was rebooted briefly in the early 1990s.

Along the way they discuss Howerd's career, stage musicals, Carry On films, proto-Blackadders and the fascinating history of one of British comedy's cheekiest sitcoms...
