4. Alexei Sayle's Paris (1994)
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?

6. Sean Lock's 15 Storeys High (2002-2004)
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?
