Whose Line UK 1x03 (3/3)

[DemonLynk]

Come onnnn Clive, relax a little! Everyone would have more fun :P

[reccaphoenix]

Peter Cook rapping is something I never thought I would see. XD

[Gubbywubby]

@reccaphoenix I know, and he was really good, too!

[DasNutellamaedchen]

I love the whole "that child could have picked up some of the bigotry" thing, totally lost on the audience I think.

[ErikLeroux]

I'm pretty sure that ONLY Stephen Fry could pull off rhyming "amniocentesis" in anything.

[Gubbywubby]

@ErikLeroux Only he could get away with it!

[Mayna00]

Question - Why does it say: STARRED Clive Anderson and John Sessions

WITH

Fry, Cook and Lawrence?

WHY?!

[SistaSol]

@Mayna00 Anderson and Sessions are the only repeat participants.  The other three change with each episode.

[Mayna00]

@SistaSol Haha I've seen all the episodes, but I never realized it was a vehicle for Sessions and that he was a 'regular' at this point =P

Silly me!

I do love Sessions, don't know why more people don't!

[Bobstew68]

For some reason, I really don't like Peter Cook based on this episode.

[annikee59]

"I think we all answer to dick." LMAO!

[TAfan2]

"Done Peterson! I love that guy! I love that guy!" hahaha xDDD

[Trancemaniac3000]

wow

[NightRaptor]

Best rap ever. This is what evolved into The Irish Drinking Song/Hoedown.

[GregorioXII]

@NightRaptor Well, they still have Scene to Rap in the US version, so...

[MadcapLaugh3]

I don't find John Sessions funny at all

[louiseiiid]

Gosh I MISS Peter Cook. i spent most of the 70's crying with laughter over things he and Dud said.

All brilliant, but that last comment 'rap' by Steve 'only a surgeon's knife could save labour' was a wry political comment IMPROVISED in a rap about childbirth. Now that's utterly brilliant!

[MichelleOo93]

Peter and John are not that funny..

[MsJup1ter]

Did stephen do monty python movies? I'm sure he didn't but i'm curious.

[LenMacHarStaBEAT]

@MsJup1ter no, but as you may now, he was a member of the Cambridge Footlights, out of which half of the python crew (Eric Idle, John Cleese, Graham Chapman) started their careers. The footlights comedy is quite similar to python comedy.

[MsJup1ter]

@LenMacHarStaBEAT Thanks for the info. 

[BleedingHeartsArtist]

@MsJup1ter Theres also a Fry and Laurie sketch that features John Cleese during one of the Secret Policemen's Balls

[Proudnewfoundlander1]

Syephen Fry, haha its like spoken word hahaha

[WireMosasaur]

Oh hey, I would buy Stephen's album. xD

Anyone who manages to rhyme "chirrups" and "stirrups" at short notice I mean geeze.

[EenvoudigGek]

Haha, Stephen can't rap :D:D

He's freaking amazing!

[mikea731]

I want a little bit more of what made the baby come in the first place.

[antster1983]

"With the greatest of respect in the world. that is absolute BALLS!"

[TDWPfan94]

That panel game was brilliant! ^_^

I wish they would have played it more often!

*holds up cigarette* "Excuse me, could you give me a quarter of your income?" ROFL

I love how Stephen just said his like the rap beat wasn't there! LMAO

[Bojack727]

I wish Peter was in another episode...

They didn't ask him back after this because he got a little drunk before the episode.

He's still really funny though!

[antster1983]

@Bojack727 They did a run through of the games in the afternoon (dummy versions of the games - with different suggestions and scenarios set by the production team), and Cooky blew the other performers way, but then Rory McGrath took him out for a drink. You all know the rest.

[nyran125]

its nto the fact its more quick fire. Thats only there because of the brilliant Ryan Styles and colin. Get rid of them and you have less quick fire. Imagine just guys like Drew on stage. Not very quick fire.

[davidgoodman85]

thanks for putting this up. I think the American version was more 'quick fire' but the english version is more intelligent. A combination of the two would be best.

[JohnRagoon]

So much talent in this line up. An absolute joy!! :).

[thisisntagoodname]

This Panel game looks different, I don't think I've ever seen a game with Clive participating in it...

[Kokitsune]

'Scuse me, could you give me a quarter of your income?

[vikramkrishnan]

spelling mistakes ... peter cook shakes his head... lol

[hchsband2007]

I love how Stephen just talks instead of actually rapping. Brilliant.

[osakj]

i love how stephen can physically and mentally not sing.

never in my life have i heard of such thing but there he is! :D

and its true. i would love to sing a duet with him. ^_^* hehe

[aliensexgangchildren]

i think josie is hot but those big 80's pants are horrible lol

[lamb92]

she would look good in anything!

[Zelarpie]

thumbs up to that :)

[HeartsTimeOfSnow]

i love stephen fry, genius isn't even a word worthy of him!

[LiekaQueenofDarkness]

Stephen won Panel, definately!

[artikal]

stephen fry hates doin the rap! looked rather uncomfortable

[Summo1942]

God, these early ones were embarassing, weren't they. I much prefer the high energy and higher standards of the US version. And I'm a Brit.

[BloodBird1]

Did he do that on purpose or does Stephen have no rhythm?

[wolfxbloed]

He does that on every who's line because he hates singing/dancing

[10MrsDavidTennant10]

No-one raps better than Mr Stephen Fry XD

[corinthian129]

Josie always played shrew women characters for laughs... if you think those are really her personality you're nuts.

[infonite]

Josie is retarded if she believes that O_O

Shes nice though =)

[GuannyL]

U think everyone upped their game this episode because of Peter.

[blaukat]

when was this? i mean, the year.

[dbvixxen]

1988 or 89.

[samalex79]

7 October 1988

[SpyglassProductions]

brilliant, it's very rare for them to play this game!

[sparksrule]

That's absolute ball

[drduke28]

As a proud Yankee I can safely say that the American version is crap compared to the UK original. Clive Anderson is the man. I wish Comedy Central would show the old reruns like they used to. Do they really need to show that fucking Blue Collar Comedy bullshite every goddamn weekend?

[anpanmon]

the american version is NOT crap-it's merely a different form of comedy.there is no compareson that's like platapusses compared to deers!!!

[Zodang]

I agree that they are different, and each is funny in their own right. Also its platypi, I believe :P

[Bladethepokefreak]

yes you are right about the platypi:

cactUS, cactI! fungUS, fungI! platypUS, platypI!

[trouble47]

I love this show...

[IHeartWhoseLine]

I second that

[sparksrule]

Everyone's upped their game with the masterful, albeit drunk, Cook
