  • Bottom (1991-1995)

    Bottom (1991-1995)
    Oct 23 2025
    Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST. In this episode, your hosts Tony Black and Rob Turnbull discuss Bottom, the legendary violent cult comedy from 1991 to 1995 written by and starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. Following the sad lives of Hammersmith residents Richard Richard and Edward Elizabeth Hitler, Bottom depicts two lazy, unemployed, perverted middle aged men beautifully. Richie wants to get laid. Eddie wants to drink. Both end up trapped in a hyper-real, comic-book Samuel Beckett world of nihilistic nonsense. How well has the stylised world Rik & Ade created held up over the last 30 years? Plus! Tony is joined by Paul Tanter, one of the co-authors of Talking Bottom: A Guide to the Cult Sitcom, to discuss the show, comedy and much more. We can honestly say they get deep inside Bottom and get the most out of it. Phwoaaaaar! Host/Editor A. J.

  • The Cockfields (2019-2021)

    The Cockfields (2019-2021)
    Aug 21 2025
    Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST. In this episode, your hosts Tony Black and Rob Turnbull discuss The Cockfields from writers Joe Wilkinson & David Earl, which ran from 2019 to 2021. Starring Wilkinson, Sue Johnston and initially Diane Morgan and Bobby Ball, it concerns the titular family on the Isle of Wight and all their eccentricities during a visit to the pastoral family home. Cast changes were forced in part by COVID-19 for a second season that perhaps outdoes the first. But is this gentle comedy a quiet great that too few people have discovered? Listen and find out!
