Whose Line UK 5x01 (1/3) 

In the 90’s Tony was my absolute hero. I hope he gets a chance to shine again.

Tony Slattery is like a combination of what is great in both the American improvisers as well as the British. Quick mainstream humor like an American and the dry humor and intellectual wit of a British improviser. Brilliant. He could have continued on and gracefully adapted into the WLIIA in America. It's a shame he had some severe personal issues to deal with.

Wow Tony always seem to have the classiest fashion sense out of the cast

Ah the dream team. Proops, Stiles, Mochrie, Slattery. The best team without Josie imo.

Definitely my fave four, they play off incredibly well off each other. And Greg is unbelievably funny here 'man who talks really realllly slow' lol

Tony, Greg, Colin, and Ryan are my favorite group of castmembers. I was so bummed out when I looked up Tony and found out that he had so many mental health issues he was struggling with. I'd love for him to have a comeback.

Why does there always have to be a debate about which version is better? I like both versions about equally. The UK version had a wider variety of great performers, but the US version has more banter and inside jokes. They balance each other out, in my sight.

slattery was a beautiful man during this period from earlier seasons to this episode haha

The best line up EVER!

Tony's Shakespeare at the end of Film and Theatre Styles actually was in iambic pentameter.

My sentiments exactly. Almost says to me "if someone two years ago thought what you just thought, then you're right in thinking Tony Slattery, Colin, Ryan and Greg Proops are the funniest line-up".

Ahh, mister Slattery - the only cast member left who can do Shakespear that's half-decent and yet fit for the mainstream crowd :)

I like how the whose line UK hat changes depending on where the show was filmed

Thank you for compiling these Whose Line Series playlists!:-D

I missed Tony

also love greg's "see how i wheel my cart and caper and bandy about!" love his heel clicking thing ;)

The first time I saw this episode was in the year 2000...20 years later & everytime I here there's a flood I can't help but think or say FLOADS!

This is my favorite line-up on the Uk whose line :D

SING DAMMIT! Killed me xD

Thank god Tony is back!!! The guy is brilliant but comes off much better when there are more brits!

greg is amazing at poking fun at clive :D always love greg, ryan, colin, wayne, tony, chip, brad, josie, and whoever im leaving out at the moment

@TheAlexsus UK is BETTER. Hey, it's got Ryan, Colin, Greg, etc; and if they weren't originally on the UK version, they would've never have been on the US. (Plus the UK got away with a ton of censored material, which makes this show 5 times better).

Tony steals the show

This is the perfect line-up!! :)

greg: sing dammit! XD

Greg was unbelievably good at Shakespeare! Lool! Welcome Ballet Boy! Ryan was exceptionally creative on this session.

'Oh I'm no help at all!'

hahah i love grag his high pitched voice screaming sing dammit !!! xd

LOL greg: alright. everybody over here...spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit...SING DAMMIT!! i think im beginning to think the US and the UK version as equals...although ive only seen a few of the UK episodes lol :)

i love it when colin says ' is the pope catholic'

"wellllcome balleeeeet booooy" hahaha i cracked at that.

now I know why they are so good at questions only.

Anyone else noticed that Clive really likes the Global Warming suggestion. Every time it's suggested...he goes for it.

This is probably the most ideal panel for the UK whose line. I might squeeze Sandi in there with Greg, she's petite enough ;)

Greg was unbelievably good at Shakespeare!

Questions Only was an awesome playing :D

It's funny that they kissed from such a distance in the UK version, while in the american version they just get right up in each other's business and actually kiss,

SING, DAMN IT!!!

It's really fitting how they just didn't bother to "solve" global warming in this game of Superheroes.

Yay, my favourite quartet!

I just taped this off comedy central today. They are showing series 5. i'm taping all of them, and wanna get all of series 5, 6, 7,8 and 9

Greg looks like Elvis Costello!

5:42 ... love Greg XD

"Is the pope catholic?" I love that line. :D

@rkcoaster7 Actually iambic pentameter lines have ten syllables with alternating stresses (da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM). Tony's lines had nine syllables with stresses all over the place.

Guy to Clive's right in the audience has ridiculously wide shoulders

"I'll give 69 points there" N I C E

They kissed and then Ryan acted out William Tell shooting an apple on top of Colin's head.

Captain Hair (Colin Mockery) is in this!!!!

FLOAD! :D

@RespectYourViews I think this is the first time someone responded to one of my posts that was this old, not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. I have to admit the "safety proceedures" bit did sound like Seuss.

tony's back!! hell yeah

@MichelleOo93 Toni is one of my favs from the british series. I also like Josie and Paul Merton

My dream line-up!

Nice High Quality.

Kiss & Tell hahahaha

oh Greg you are so so CUTE!

man...Clive is stingy with his points xD

where did you buy that, lol!

lmao at that questions only

@MrHamlet64 thanks a ,lot! =( you made me stop, re-watch the clip, count his syllables, and listen for stresses ! counting no and wait his lines have 1,1,9 and 9 syllables. You're right it's not iambic pent' but the symmetry and rhyming does remind me of Dr Seuss. Great=( now I have to look up whether Dr Seuss ever used iambic pentameter. Botheration =S

The shorter they cut the "skits", the more time they have!

I love Captain Ballerina

Captain Ballerina became the Nabisco Snack Fairy,

Coming back to this, I forgot how uneasy the atmosphere was when Greg Proops would take jabs at Clive Anderson. I dunno if they didn't like each other or get along, but man, Greg Proops was always talking shit in almost every episode, and it was said in just a certain way where you could tell that Greg Proops was serious with the stuff he was saying sometimes. Like I get it, guys insult each other, it's funny. And maybe the ongoing jabs from Proops was just something he picked up on as being funny to the audience, but I remember sometimes he would just unload of Clive Anderson with backhanded, passive aggressive stuff. I don't remember Proops doing that with any of the cast members, only Anderson. Always kinda put me off when Clive would just kinda nervously smile and laugh it off very awkwardly. When another member of the line up riffs on Clive, you can obviously tell they are ONLY riffing on him as a joke, sometimes Proops seems genuinely like he's insulting the guy though. I also remember from the Drew Carrey one where Proops and Drew almost started arguing for real, and I vaguely remember it happening between Clive Anderson and Proops. Maybe Proops is just a big dickhead who takes it too far, I dunno. Still one of my favorites on the lineup regardless.

FLOOD!

BritBox, here it comes.

Did Colin dye his hair? I swear he was greyer in the last season.

8:30-e lol

TONY!

FLOUD!

5:42

What is up with the black face?

Its kinda depressing watching this episode as you clearly see how the brits are being pushed out and the Americans/canadians are taking over the show.

I was heart--broken when I found out Tony is gay. Such a good-looking guy. He could've had any woman he wanted!

You forget how funny Whose line is it anyway was. They really were great. Best line up here defo. Wish they cud make a comeback. I saw it advertise while ago, n it my annoyance it was the American one. It was TERRIBLE.Even funny people like Ryan n Colin , seemed bit flat, over the top n slightly like they wernt improvising. was slow to.. Be GR8 if Tony cud sort it out n make a comeback..

FFFLÖD!

I really enjoyed the UK series, but their scenes from a hat in the UK was not that good at all.

The British aren't as funny as the Americans.
