Wing It
Synopsis
The BBC press office says,
- 'No Script. No Prep. No Clue.' Mike Wozniak plays host to a panel of improv all stars in this new spontaneous game show, full of ridiculous challenges and completely made up games.
A very fast show, fizzing with ideas and silly things to do. Compose a letter one word at a time! Conduct a conversation but drawing all your responses from one page of a book! Reverse your position on a topic when you hear a buzzer! Arbitrary points are awarded and a winner is declared.
Like all improvisation shows, and like all broadcast pilots, this was a bit hit-and-miss; we reckon the laughs outweighed the groans. It's been a very long time since Radio 4 had anything so spontaneous, and a full series of Wing It could attract a cult audience.
