So the comedian from Little Britian was doing something for Comic Relief called 24 Hour Panel People and one of the shows they did was a remake of the old series Whose Line Is It Anyway from when it first started in the UK with Clive Anderson, Josie Lawrence and Tony Slattery from the old cast... Unfortunately no Greg Proops, Ryan Stiles or Colin Mochrie though, I suspect they would've though :(
The other parts are on there too.
If you like this series you should also watch Fast and Loose, produced by the same person, it's quite similar but it's more... 21st century lol
i loved Whose Line, UK and US versions. Thanks for the video, Rob.
This is nice.
Personally I never got into the U.S. version. I still have a VHS tape with 6 hours of UK episodes I recorded from tv lol.
Comedy gold... I use this everytime I need a laugh!

Personally Ryan and Colin were always my favourites. I hated Tony Slattery and use to get annoyed that occasional Anderson would give him the win.
I was afraid of Tony Slattery as a child... I don't know why

Probably cause his greasy hair quiff alone looked like it would molest any human under the age of 13.
And he was also cast in this awful tv show that I remember watching:

And there was no tits...
Slattery was alright but yeah Stiles and Mochrie were fucking awesome. So quick witted. And also, whenever McShane, Proops, Stephen Fry and the dumpy women were on it, they were awesome too. I forget a lot of the people from the early, early episodes cause that was way before my time, and it also used to be a lot more theatrical based.
Poor Richard Branch on the piano...
Ryan and Colin stole the show every time on Whose Line. Also really dug Greg Proops and Brad Sherwood.
It's just a really good concept for a comedy show to just let these folks go freewheeling.
The U.S. was great for the simple fact Drew Carey would straight up say, "Yeah, the points don't matter." It was about the fun, and hearing the guys (Wayne Brady was brilliant here, too) argue about the delegating of useless points.
New show starting in a few weeks with all the former performers except for Wayne Brady and Kathy Greenwood (yes, this includes Sherwood, Stiles, Proops, Mochrie and Carey) which is called Drew Carey's Improv-a-ganza...
I'm guessing some of you know about this already, but this is news to me and I'm so excited to seeing this. I guess being inducted into the WM HoF gives Carey the perfect chance to do a bit of advertising...
