  Whose Line Is It Anyway? (abbreviated to Whose Line? or WLIIA) is a short-form improvisational comedy radio programme. A television series of the same name was based on it in 1988. Following the conclusion of the British run in 1998, ABC began airing a version for the United States audience.
  
  The show consisted of a panel of four performers who create characters, scenes and songs on the spot, in the style of short-form improvisation games, many taken from theatresports. Topics for the games were based on predetermined prompts from the host.
  
  ## History
  
  The radio series consisted of six episodes, with Clive Anderson as host, with John Sessions and Stephen Fry as regulars.
