Thank God You're Here

Thank God You're Here is an improvisational comedy game show based on the original Australian show with the same name. In the show, four guests are placed into a scene they have no knowledge about and have to improvise. The series is hosted by Paul Merton, who also acts as judge and performs his own improvised scene.

Production

The UK pilot, made for ITV by Talkback Thames, was announced in mid-2007.[1] The pilot was recorded on 12 November 2007 at The London Studios,[2] with Merton as the show's host (with him also featuring in a one-off improvisational scene of his own). The series started airing on 12 January 2008 on ITV.[3] The show delivered below-average ratings for ITV in its timeslot.
