Awesome show. I'm surprised there's not a thread on it yet. I only watched the US version with Drew Carey, how does the British version stack up compared to it?

Also MEOW!

The British version is funny too, but I prefer the US one personally. Did you see the one with Richard Simmons?

The British version is the original. Think it started in the late 80's/early90's. I used to love it, it still shows repeats on one of our channels. I'm not too keen on the US version, it seems out of control, and that black guy is pretty annoying. The British version had a lot more structure, even though its improvisation. The game ideas were much better.

OH GOD. I couldn't breathe when I first saw that. Easily one of the best moments ever.

Whose line.
Best.
Show.
Ever.

Its on dvd but i cant find it anywhere =(.

My all time favourite whose line moments:
= Drew calling Africa a country, and everyone making fun of him for it for the rest of the show
= Any hoedown/irish drinking song
= Scenes from a hat: "Things you can say to/about your _________, but not your girlfriend"

I enjoyed the American version, then was able to get a "best of" DVD set of the British original. I prefer the latter, but both are incredibly creative. Great fun!

I love both the US and UK versions, they both make me laugh out loud. My favourite bit was when they had to incorporate lines the audience had written into a scene.
