Trailer Synopsis

You Have Been Watching is a British comedy panel game presented by Charlie Brooker, produced by Zeppotron for Channel 4 and filmed at BBC Television Centre and Riverside Studios in London. It first aired on 7 July 2009, for a weekly eight-episode run. The show's title is a reference to sitcoms written by David Croft such as Dad's Army, 'Allo 'Allo!, Are You Being Served? and It Ain't Half Hot Mum which ended with the caption "You have been watching", which was then followed by the cast list. A second series of the show began on 15 April 2010 and ended prematurely by a week due to the Cumbria shootings; the final episode having been postponed because it is a crime special. The crime special was eventually broadcast on 4 August 2010, albeit airing on E4 rather than Channel 4.

He gives his own take on 90s TV raunch and the shows that commanded the biggest following (but perhaps shouldn't have), and unearths some hidden gems that deserve a wider audience. His guests Phill Jupitus, Victoria Coren and Jack Whitehall discuss everything from ratings giants such as You Bet to the obscurity that was Ring My Bell.

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
The show where everything's made up and the points don't matter. Not a talk show, not a sitcom, not a game show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? is a completely unique concept to network television. Four talented actors perform completely unrehearsed skits and games in front of a studio audience. Host Drew Carey sets the scene, with contributions from the audience, but the actors rely completely on their quick wit and improvisational skills. It's genuinely improvised, so anything can happen - and often does.
