7 TV shows that started out on the radio Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Whose Line Is It Anyway? is best known in its long-running American version, but the show, of course, actually had its roots in the UK; it began first as a BBC Radio 4 programme created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, with Clive Anderson as host, and John Sessions and Stephen Fry as regulars. Channel 4 snapped up the show, running for a total of 10 series, before it was cancelled due to a slump in ratings. It found immediate new popularity, however, when it started airing on ABC in the US.
