Mark Watson: improv show cancelled
So, the improv show didn't get commissioned for a series. Not enough people watched it, that was why.
I hope I'm not giving the impression that making TV shows is a well-paid but soul-destroying process of trying to impress people you don't necessarily respect, while your self-esteem is systematically worn away and your contribution to the world is brutally boiled down to a series of numbers over which you have no control but which are used as a stick to beat you with. That would be misleading. It's not THAT well-paid.

Improvisation on TV doesn't need gimmicks, it needs trust.
