Set Design
The set of Justin's House is bright and colorful. The set was revamped between series 1 and series 2. Changes to the set involved a change in the shape of the stage, meaning that from series 2 onwards, there was more stage space. From Series 2 onwards there was a colourful 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. 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. The BBC film the show at Dock 10 studios in Manchester in front of a live studio audience.[3]
Format
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 that featured in that episode singing a song.
