Fast and Loose is a BBC television series on BBC Two. Guests take part in numerous improvised sketches in which each comedian inhabits a certain character or movie genre. The current series is eight episodes long and is hosted by Hugh Dennis.
The style and format is very similar to Channel 4's Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Mock The Week both of which are also produced by Dan Patterson. The name of the show is a revival of a 1953 TV sketch show starring Denis Goodwin and Bob Monkhouse.[1] Each episode has six performers, with an additional guest performer for one of the sketches.
Guests include Greg Davies, Justin Edwards, Pippa Evans, Humphrey Ker, Marek Larwood, Jonathan Mangum, Laura Solon and Wayne Brady.
