Thank God You're Here

Anyone seen this?

I lived in Australia for a bit and although the TV was, on the whole, absolutely dreadful, there were exceptions.

The twist from other improv shows is there is a scene with a script and the contestant is the only one who hasn't seen it, so the game is for them to fill in the blanks on the fly. Some people freeze up completely so it can be a bit hit or miss but it's good fun overall.

It disappeared for a long while but I just discovered they recently brought it back and add clips to YouTube.



They did import it to the UK a few years back but they made a total arse of it, which was a shame.

I remember the UK version with Paul Merton as the host.

It was the first time I'd ever seen Rufus Hound. Some people were excellent and others as you say froze up. I remember Ben Miller and Michael McIntyre being pretty bad at it.
