Justin's House is a children's television comedy show produced by the BBC for CBeebies.^[1] It stars host Justin Fletcher, his green Little Monster, and his humanoid general-purpose housekeeping robot Robert.^[2]

Justin's House was recorded as a stage series in front of an audience of children, and was filmed at Dock 10 Studios in Manchester.^[3]

The show usually starts with Robert singing the "Dusting for Justin" song, before welcoming the audience to Justin's House. This is usually followed by Robert introducing the main theme of the episode, with the help of Little Monster. Justin then makes his entrance, usually through one of the doors in the house, then singing the "Wiggle your Bottoms" song. Justin's entrance usually ends up creating some mess, for instance, in Series 3 Episode 17, he opens the door into Robert, which causes Robert to throw custard pies everywhere. Justin and Robert then sing the Justin's House song. The show always ends with Justin, Robert, and any special guests featured in that episode singing a song.

From Series 2 onwards, there was a colourful staircase next to the front door; each step was a different colour. The staircase leads the upstairs balcony part of the set, which contains Justin's bed, wardrobe and bathroom. In addition, a zebra called Dave is introduced in the opening titles, who flies to Justin's House via hot air balloon and crashes into the wall, staying with his head permanently displayed at the back of the set.

Series 1 was filmed from February 2011 to July 2011, Series 2 was filmed from November 2011 to June 2012, Series 3 was filmed from March 2014 to September 2014 and Series 4 was filmed from June 2016 to November 2016.

Series 5 features a brand-new format and set. The series became more sitcom-based, there is no Dave the Zebra, and Justin's house is newly redecorated. The upstairs cannot be seen, but instead, the characters can go out in the garden, and also into Robert's workshop, which can also be seen in Robert's Memory Download and Pie Cam (series 2). Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Series 5 was recorded within a closed studio without a live audience.

The show usually starts with Robert, then Justin will come in, and together they will sing the 'Who's in the House?' song. The show, like in the previous series, always ends with Justin, Robert, and any special guests featured in that episode singing a song with Justin, Robert and Little Monster. There is a blast of confetti at the end of most episodes. Series 5 was filmed from February 2021 to July 2021.

Series 6 also follows up with this set and format design with some additional adjustments done to the set such as an expansion of the porch and some more decorations done within the house.
