UKTV’s comedy channel Gold has announced a new addition to its range of original programming. We Have Been Watching brings together some of the country’s best loved comedy pairings to watch and critique British comedy favourites while sharing stories from their own experiences.

This six-part series celebrates great comedy clips with unique insights from renowned comedians. It reunites successful comedy pairings including John Challis and Sue Holderness (Only Fools and Horses), Sally Phillips and Sarah Hadland (Miranda), Ricky Tomlinson and Ralf Little (The Royle Family) and Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemani (Him and Her, pictured). Also featured are David Baddiel, Maxine Peake, Nigel Planer and Jo Joyner. We Have Been Watching takes stars off screen and settles them onto the sofa to enjoy classic comedies including Steptoe and Son, Morecambe and Wise, Father Ted and Fawlty Towers.

Senior commissioning editor Simon Lupton, said, “Crook Productions have assembled a wonderfully eclectic mix of comedians and comic actors to watch these classic clips with us.  Their experiences and knowledge provide us with some incredibly insightful views, but it is seeing them watch these shows as comedy fans that is the real treat.”

The series will air later in 2016 and sits alongside other brand new UKTV Originals: Richard E Grant on Ealing Comedies, series two of Marley’s Ghosts, and The Rebel with Simon Callow.
