Whose Line Is It Anyway?: Episode 1.2Channel 4
30 September 1988
Improv Game Show
DVD
C-
Not particularly funny, with racial and ethnic stereotypes, and (mostly on the part of Bremner) references to British celebrities who are not funny merely being name-checked*, the only thing to recommend this episode to anyone but the completist is John's Griff Rhys Jones impression, and that's more fun to see when you get Griff's onscreen reaction in a later episode. Note that Richard Vranch appears briefly onscreen and is in the credits, but he doesn't perform in the episode as aired, so I won't be tagging him. Also, Jimmy did Dylan Thomas for Authors on the radio programme and made the same "die the bread" joke there.
*Tony Slattery would find a way to make such jokes accessible even to an American who had never and in many cases still hasn't heard of these people.
