I_Am_The_Taylrus SPOILERSI have managed to catch a couple episodes of the British Whose Line Is It Anyway, and I must say, it was incredibly funny. As I mentioned before, I enjoy the American version a little more, but if you watch them side-by-side, you will realize that they are both two great shows that should still be on. You will also see that a lot of the people in the American version are in the British version, and I enjoy that a lot, but I also get to see a lot of the talented and funny British comedians, too, so that is also great.Here is the basis. It is practically the same. A group of comedians to improvisation games together. After all of the games, the host decides who the winner is. However, whoever wins still plays the last game with the other contestants.Overall, this is a terrific and very funny show that, from the episodes I have seen, was a wonderful show right until the very end. Anyway, this, like the American version, is hilarious and you would not want to miss it.9/10Recommended Shows: Whose Line Is It Anyway, Thank God You're Here.

Chris Horry Take 4 very talented comedians. Give them a skit to do completely unrehearsed. Sit back, and enjoy. Truly one of the best shows on television. I've tried to do improv myself in amateur dramatics and the people on this show make it look far easier than it really is!A US version exists, but the original UK show is marginally funnier than the American version. Tell Drew Carey to stop trying to do improv, bring some of the UK castmembers in and the US version will be just as funny. Both shows are currently being repeated on Comedy Central and ABC Family respectively.

brian_ronald_ross The Hotel Rap with Ryan Stiles, Brad Sherwood, Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie was the funniest sketch I've seen on the show ( Channel 4 is showing re-runs of the original with Clive Anderson). I wish I could rap like that! As a whole it's excellent, particularly when the comedians are struggling to improvise. Great Stuff.

RueMorgue Many of my friends simply don't understand British comedy. Greats such as "Monty Python's Flying Circus", "Black Adder", and "Are You Being Served?" are mis-understood by many North Americans, although they are some of the funniest shows on television.With the introduction of the original "Who's Line Is It Anyway?", improv was brought into the home by the people who could do it the best... and the result is spectacular. The only regular appearance throughout the life of this show was the host, Clive Anderson. He does an excellent job at pulling the show together, introducing the skits, and bantering back and forth with the contestants. In particular, his on-screen disagreements and arguments with Greg Proops in the latter years of this show provide raw and unrehearsed comedic entertainment, often at the expense of Clive's balding head.Overall, the performers on this show know their comedy. Skits are done at the drop of a hat, with no advance knowledge by the contestants of what sort of antics will be required to pull them off. Games such as 'Scenes From A Hat', 'Film Dub', 'Questions Only', and the infamous 'Hoe Down', only serve to display the comedic talents of the contestants, allowing them to amaze and surprise the viewer with their seemingly endless quips, jabs, and one-liners.From the witty John Sessions in the early years, to the comedic improv super-duo of Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles in the later years, and who can forget the hyper-but-fantastic Tony Slattery, this show has entertained me for many years, and will continue to do so for a long time to come, as I just can't seem to stop watching the re-runs on cable.My Rating: 10/10
