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

Format Series 1-4 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.

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 5-6 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 same set and format design, with some additional adjustments made to the set such as an expansion of the porch along with some additional decorations hung around the house.

Characters Main Justin Fletcher as himself. He is a good-hearted and funny man who is a resident of Justin Town. He often gets help whenever downhearted from Robert, with whom he shares a close bond. He is often full of energy, ready to make his friends laugh. This could be by doing some clever talents (eg, balancing something on his nose or playing a pair of spoons), or telling some jokes to them. He also has a running gag, which is getting custard pies or some liquid substance in his face. Despite his silliness, Justin will always be there to support his friends around Justin Town when needed. Fletcher also portrays some of his other characters in some episodes, including original characters Sir Justin-A-Lot of Mess, Justinardo de Stinky and Long Johns Justin, Rapids Johnson from Gigglebiz, and Mr Tumble from Something Special.

His main priorities are to keep the house as tidy as possible, which is somewhat a chore whenever Justin is around, who often causes mess with his energy. Robert will always calm Justin down if he has too much energy at one particular moment, and can act as a father figure towards him, taking charge of most situations around the house. His favourite sweet treat is cake. Steven Kynman played Robert from Series 1 to mid-Series 6. Chris Jarvis took over the role starting from episode 10 of Series 6.

Katherine Smee as Little Monster, a naughty green monster who likes to cause havoc and mischief in Justin's House. A running gag of hers is to run away with various objects and hide with them at various locations around the house. She owns her own den under the floorboards of the house, which is never seen by viewers until Series 5. There, she keeps many items she is fond of, which only Little Monsters love. Smee also puppeteers Cousin Cuddle, Little Monster's pink cousin, who is even more naughty than she is, and Auntie Monsterella.
