I love both versions of Whose Line is It Anyway, however for some reason I can't help but watch the US ones more, but both of them are great. The more DVD's, the better!

Now if we could only get a DVD set of QI.... that would make me "/_/".

It's about bloody time. I can get my Tony fix when it comes out anytime I want AND I can fast forward through the John Sessions bits.

While I generally agree with the comment on the intelligence of the show's references, "John Wayne" springs to mind as a refutation.

Ryan:

Describing it won't give the impact of his delivery, so it may not come across as funny as it did on screen...but the challenge was "worst person to perform Shakespeare" and Merton stepped forward, smirked wickedly, and said "So...Juliet is only sixteen, eh?"

Like I said, that description doesn't do it justice. The studio audience nearly filled their boots, as the Brits say.

RAB: What was the line?

Does it beat Brad Sherwood's "There's nothing better than a 200 pound ..." ?

Josie Lawrence! Like a goddess of British humor and brilliantly improvised songs.

Oh, yeah, and a chance to see the likes of Mike McShane, Tony Slattery, Paul Merton (who came up with the single funniest line ever spoken on any incarnation of the show), and Sandi Toksvig. Of the less-frequent celebrity guests the big surprise was Jonathan Pryce, who turned out to be especially funny despite having little comedy background.

Ah, but Josie...sigh!

Personally I swoon for Josie Lawrence. The fact that Stephen Fry appears twice in season 1 is bonus.

What Raychel said.

As good as this news is (and it's TREMENDOUS news) the fact that you used a photo of Tony Slattery makes it all the more better. *swoon!*
