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 (pilot and series 2) and Riverside Studios (series 1)[3] in London.[4] It first aired on Tuesday 7 July 2009, for a weekly eight-episode run.[5] The show's title is a reference to sitcoms written by David Croft such as Dad's Army, 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,[6] and ended prematurely by a week due to the Cumbria shootings, the final episode having been postponed because it is a crime special.[7] The crime special was eventually broadcast on 5 August 2010, albeit airing on E4 rather than Channel 4.[8]

[edit] Overview
Each week Brooker is accompanied by a panel of three guests.[9] The focus of the quiz is television - before recording, guest panellists watch selected episodes of various television shows. They may then be asked to suggest hypothetical improvements to the format, critically assess it, or to answer quiz questions on the content.

[edit] Australian version
An Australian version of the show, written and hosted by comedian Peter Berner, premiered on The Comedy Channel on 17 February 2011.[11]
