Welcome to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST It’s time to get political as ROBERT and ALEX discuss the 1984 Christmas Special of YES, MINISTER and the 1987 first episode of THE NEW STATESMAN. In the run up to the 2024 UK general election we thought we'd do a compare and contrast on how these two very different shows tackle politics! WARNING: while all care has been taken to stay politically balanced this episode does contain extremely strong language as well as extremely strong opinions on the Tory party bastards who have wrecked our country over the past 14 years... * *Other political opinions are available* Host / Editor Robert Turnbull (Twitter/X @Forducks) Co Host Alex Lynch (Twitter/X @AlexJRLynch) You Have Been Watching on social media: Twitter/X: @YHBWpod Subscribe to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: EXTRA LAUGHS: patreon.com/YHBWPOD Part of the Film Stories family filmstories.co.uk Title music: Jumping Cricket (c) Birdies via epidemicsound.com Learn more about your ad choices.
