Hello and welcome to Whose Line Is It Anyway? which is an improvisation program. There'll be a number of off-the-cuff games to be played in a moment by a collection of actors, comedians, and masochists, and the four volunteers to stand on the quick-firing line tonight are:
- Tony Slattery, he's an actor who's played the title role in Me and My Girl, which means he's either played "me" or "my girl"
- Then from the US we're pleased to welcome Betty Thomas, she's perhaps best known over here for her portrayal of Sergeant Lucy Bates in Hill Street Blues, so I reckon she's a sort of Dixon of Dock Green
- Then next we have Paul Merton, and there's been enormous public response since Paul last appeared on the program, but despite that we decided we'd have him back anyway
- Finally, our resident scallywag, John Sessions, who no doubt will be wagging his scally later on the evening
Ladies and gentlemen, the contestants.
