Caroline Quentin and Paul Merton |
Channel Four
26 December 1995*
Improv Game Show
VHS
C+
Like the rest of the episodes this year, this one stays at that not-bad level, with probably Questions Only the top game. But with Northover as director and the cast definitely settled in, there just aren't any real highs or lows anymore. By this point, I certainly wasn't eagerly awaiting new episodes, and my ex-husband stopped taping them, or much else, for me soon after this. The programme would go on, into the present, but in various forms. I'd catch up with it again later in the decade, when it had changed continents and hosts, so the story doesn't quite end here, although it does for most of the contestants. (I'm omitting Caroline from the overcrowded tags.)
*This is the date on Wikipedia, where it's the second of two compilations for the seventh series. IMDB has them as airing in the first half of October, but I don't know that it matters all that much.
