Whose Line Is It Anyway?: Episode 2.15

Whose Line Is It Anyway?: Episode 2.15
Channel Four
2 March 1990
Improv Game Show
DVD
B-

A great cast provides an uneven episode, with lows (two words, "dog raper") and highs ("Spongeman!"), and a moment that would deconstruct the entire first two series of the programme.
Paul: (as the World's Worst person to be stuck in a lift with, playing it completely deadpan of course) Hello, I'm John Sessions.  (The crowd goes crazy, Mike, Tony, and especially Josie are amazed and amused, and Clive says, "Oh, please.")

Also, note that the Twiglets running joke at Party Quirks, which Tony recently used with Ron West, is now used by Host Tony towards Paul, who turns it inside out.  And for the second episode in a row, a "fellow competitor" guesses a Guest, this time Mike guessing Paul.

I remember this episode as better than it is, because one, I forget the just OK games, like Song Styles, and remember all the things that ended up on the Compilations, which we'll get to tomorrow....
