What's My Line Again?

Below is the crafted script that the group and I worked on, We decided to improvise at first then take in the key statements made by members of the group. however when filming we realised that letting members of the group improvise once more or say what they wanted to say while following the structure of the script seemed to have made a better opening sequence than we had hope for.
