Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms.

Join your hosts Tony Black & Robert Turnbull as they discuss Robert Popper's celebrated Channel Four sitcom FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER, which ran for six series between 2011-2020.

Revolving around the Goodman's, a middle-class Jewish family, we see sons Adam & Jonny visit their parents Jackie & Martin each Friday night for what turns out to inevitably be a chaotic, strange or sometimes tense dinner, often dragging their weird neighbour Jim and the dog he owns but is terrified of, Wilson, into the madness.

A cult show that grew into a favourite across several generations, what made the show such a success? Does it deserve to be heralded as the defining British family sitcom of the 2010s? We take a look and try to find out...

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about the British television sitcom.

In this special Christmas episode, your hosts Tony Black & Robert Turnbull each choose a favourite festive comedy special and discuss why they love it, with some analysis thrown in.

Tony went lowbrow with Bottom's 'Holy' and Rob went (sort of) highbrow with Blackadder's Christmas Carol. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms.

Join your hosts Tony Black & Robert Turnbull as they discuss Sean Lock's short-lived blend of sitcom and sketch show from 2002-2004, 15 STOREYS HIGH.

Lock plays Vince, owner of a dingy London flat, who takes on Benedict Wong's flatmate Errol and the series depicts their grim lives and vignettes of numerous people in the same tower block. After Lock's tragic recent death to cancer, the series has been repeated after years in obscurity, but does it stand the test of time? Is it a lost gem? Or was it lost for a reason?

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms.

Join your hosts Tony Black & Robert Turnbull as they discuss Graham Linehan & Arthur Matthews' short-lived sitcom PARIS, starring Alexei Sayle, which aired in 1994.

Sayle appears as Alain Degout, a foul mouthed and uncouth artist in 1920s Paris who believes himself a genius not respected in his time. With all the trappings of a traditional sitcom, why did Paris last just one series and retain zero cultural footprint?
