Summary

Another bumper collection of classic fun and games from one of BBC Radio 4's best-loved and most enduring comedy panel games. The inimitable Humphrey Lyttelton is in the chair for these 25 hilarious editions (including the very first episode from 1972) plus two volumes of vintage 'Live' recordings (ad libs, retakes, warm-ups and all), a 35th anniversary special edition, and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Desert Island, in which famous fans Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent and Germaine Greer choose their favourite 'Clue' moments.

Humph presides over regular players Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and Willie Rushton plus guests including Jeremy Hardy, Ross Noble, Andy Hamilton, Rob Brydon, Stephen Fry, Jack Dee, Sandi Toksvig, Tony Hawks, Linda Smith, David Mitchell, Marcus Brigstocke and Victoria Wood. First published as I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue Volumes 10 to 15, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue 'Live' Volumes 1 & 2, and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue Anniversary Special, this feast of unrestrained revelry and inspired ad libs is the authentic, award-winning antidote to panel games. Accept no substitutes!

The magic combination of Humph, and his merry crew was as beguiling as ever and it was lovely to hear a few shows that have not been in previous collections. After all, there must be several hundred unpublished epidodes from thirty years of the original shows available from which the BBC could choose. However, from about chapter 26, the early Jack Dee presentations make an appearance, and although amusing, don’t hold a candle to Humph. Feel a bit cheated.

A teensy bit disappointed

What a fantastic series of shows! Bit strange how they went from Humph to Jack dee and then back to Humph, and the last show on the whole production is one of the very very early recordings of isihac which includes Jo Kendall who I can't stand quite frankly. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it all and I hope there is a third treasury in the works!

Amazing as always!

What superb value, an absolute joy from beginning to end. The much and outstanding loved series makes me laugh out loud.

You can't have too much of a good thing!

This is a chance to experience this once-great show during it's height (mostly) the 1990s, and to contrast it with today's completely sanitized version. In those days, there was a genuine air of spontaneity about each show, as each panelist wrote their own material and kept it to themselves until the show started. There are a few Jack Dee episodes midway through, though the majority are chaired by Humph. It's great fun for the most part, although it's a shame that the BBC continue to keep so many episodes under wraps. You'll certainly enjoy listening to it, so savour it while you can. The final show is from the 1970s, which is quite fascinating but unfortunately they don't indicate the specific date or year of transmission. There's plenty of laughter on and off the stage, the type of which you'll never hear again thanks to the BBC Compliance Unit's pre-show meddling. That's why you don't hear Barry Cryer laughing during the shows anymore.

The BBC haven't a clue...
