Thank God You're Here!

This was an old Aussie TV show from a few years back. Basically the premise was that well-known comedians (and actors in some cases) were dressed up in a costume and then chucked straight into a scene and forced to ad-lib through it.

Some of the lines are comic gold. Here's some examples....

Frank Woodley-Shaolin Temple Master

Anthony Field The Blue Belt Karate Master (this was his debut)

Josh Lawson the Fireman


Shaun Micallef The 1920's Gentleman


Thought it'd be good for a laugh

For the record, Frank Woodley is a comedian/actor, Anthony Field is the Blue Wiggle, Josh Lawson is a comedian and Shaun Micallef is an actor/comedian who also currently hosts a show called Talkin Bout Your Generation (a quiz show)

And a few more...

The all-in challenge was at the end of the show. And if anyone's not sure about the slang terms, feel free to ask. The ensemble cast are gold in these and they were selected for their ability to keep (or at least attempt to keep) the scene running.

Ross Noble in Lord Of The...King?

Hamish Blake the scientist

Shaun Micallef the Play School host

All In For Terrorism?

A day at the races

Miss Caicos 2007
(for those who watch Neighbours, yes, that's Karl Kennedy )

Anh Do the Big Brother Evictee (what makes this funnier is that the ensemble actor they chose for this scene actually DOES look a bit like Gretel Kileen!)

Who ya gonna call? The SWAT TEAM!

All-In Returning From Earth?

Josh Lawson The Alien

During the show, they'd also have the people who were going to be on the show placed into a scene such as a commercial or similar and ad-libbing their way through it (usually so the person who was on next would have time to get dressed). This one's one of my favourites:

Detergent Of Doom!


And finally, some men in drag
