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) in London. It first aired on 7 July 2009, for a weekly eight-episode run. Each week Brooker is accompanied by a panel of three guests. 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.

A second series of the show began on 15 April 2010. Its final episode, a crime special, was postponed until August due to the Cumbria shootings having taken place that week.

The series had a website, "YHBW! TV Club", providing the show with an interactive element. A topic of next week's show is revealed at the end of each episode so that viewers may watch and submit their own comments.

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