Improvathon 2014 - in pictures

Here's a few pics from the first few episodes of the 2014 Liverpool improvathon.Set in the 1950s in the quintessential English country village of Umbridge, it didn't take long for things to take a rather surreal turn. The show runs for 2014 minutes, which means it started at 1pm on Saturday and finishes at 10.34pm tonight - for a bit of background, read this or get down to the Kazimier to see how things unfurl. (For pictures from the second day of the improvathon, click here)Unlikely couple June Jitterbug, Umbridge's leading Elvis impersonator, and secret jazz flute virtuoso Francis Butterworth combine their talentsClara Bow (Cat Foley) and Jill Trott (Helen Foster) prepare to arm wrestleEd Croft as Mother Bowman gives a tarot reading to Aiden Lee Brooks, as big-hearted but largely incomprehensible farmer Francis ButterworthLauren Silver and Pete Cliff as Brother Sibling and Sister SiblingVillage matriarch Diana Bowman and property developer Donald Trumpton hatch a planThe Andrews Sisters are reunitedOwen Scrivens and Jack Darell as down-on-his-luck Baldy Bowman and lord of the manor Tristram Gentley'Welcome to Umbridge, best village 1902'Baldy Bowman takes a walk through the haunted forest and runs into Brother Sibling and Sister siblingHybrid animals roam the village; watch out for the first aid bat A scene takes place at Green & Green Greens, greengrocersDan StarkeyHelen Foster and Mark RawleTrev Fleming as Dr Marilyn MorreauEd Croft and Nell MooneyNo idea why Francis and June were doing thisAngie Waller as Diana BowmanJack Darell as Tristram GentleyNell Mooney as one of the Andrews Sisters
