Series 6 (TBA)
Also from Series 2 onwards there was a colorful staircase next to the front door; each step was a different colour. The staircase lead the upstairs balcony part of the set, which contains Justin's bed, wardrobe and the 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. In Series 5, there is no Dave, 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).
From Series 3 onwards, there were steps leading down from the stage into the audience, meaning that Justin and Robert sometimes went into the audience during songs. For series 1–4, the BBC filmed the show at Dock 10 studios in Manchester in front of a live studio audience.[4] From series 5 onwards, it was not filmed in front of a live audience.
Format
Series 1-4
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. Justin's entrance usually ends of 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.
Series 5
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 series 5, always ends with Justin, Robert, and any special guests that featured in that episode singing a song and with the Justin, Robert and Little Monster. Papering Pandemonium, Cat's New Job, Night-Time Noises and Robert's Home Movies.
