Thank God You're Here

Thank God You're Here is a partially improvised comedy, based on the Australian version of the show with the same name. In the show, four guests are placed into a scene they have no knowledge about and have to improvise.

 

Thank God You're Here (2008)

A new series hosted by Paul Merton based upon a hit Australian show of the same title. The show will bring together a group of talented and well known personalities and ask them to take on the ultimate dramatic challenge - to step through a door into a scene they know nothing about. They'll be given a costume, props and a set... the only thing they won't have is a script.

Filmed in front of a live audience, each week's guests will be unaware of the scenario that they are about to walk into. They could be dressed in anything from a policeman's uniform to a cheerleader's outfit. They will be guided through a door by Paul to be greeted by the line, "Thank God You're Here." After that, they'll have to survive on their wits alone and blag their way through the scene.

It's about bluffing. Pretending you know what's going on when it's patently obvious you're completely out of your depth.

Paul Merton will be returning to his improvisation roots by starring in his very own scene each week too.
