The Masterson Inheritance: Difference between revisions

''[[The Masterson Inheritance]]'' was a BBC radio show which mixed [[Improv|improvisational comedy]] in the style of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' with a parody of [[Generational Saga|Generational Sagas]]. Each half-hour episode would see the cast (Josie Lawrence, Paul Merton, Phelim McDermott, Caroline Quentin, Lee Simpson and Jim Sweeney, several of whom were already regular or semi-regular players on the UK version of ''Whose Line'') be given a particular historical setting and, incorporating suggestions from the audience, improvise a new chapter in the saga of the irrepressible Masterson clan. One of them, usually Lee Simpson, would act as [[Narrator]] and keep the plot running, while the rest would play the various characters that appeared, always ending up with multiple roles.
