You Have Been Watching: A British Sitcom Podcast

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms.
Today we present a sneak peek at the first bonus episode of EXTRA LAUGHS, our subscription tier, as a taster of what you can expect if you're able to support the podcast financially for a small amount per month.
In this episode, aired in March 2023, Tony & Rob discuss upcoming sitcom reboots that have been announced including the return of Basil Fawlty, more listening from Dr. Frasier Crane, and very recently the announcement that the crew of the Starbug are returning in RED DWARF.
We already have additional bonus episodes that have aired, been recorded and are planned, all of which are super exciting. So join the EXTRA LAUGHS crew for early access to episodes, ad-free listening and bonus episodes not available to regular listeners.
