The show was an immediate smash-hit success, causing pubs to empty on a Saturday night, which was particularly astonishing since the show went out on Thursdays. Since that fateful first series, the show has gone on to win Sony awards, Writers Guild nominations and a Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

Summary
Originally broadcast on Christmas Day 2003, the I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue Players present their unique interpretation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, starring Humphyre Lyttelton as Ebenezer Scrumph, Colin Sell as his downtrodden assistant Crotchet, and Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and Barry Cryer as the Ghosts of Christmas Future, Present, and P*ssed. This Yuletide extravaganza is not to be missed.
Plus, there's a generous stockingful of silly games and pointless revelry from the merry gentlemen of the Clue team, including some memorable moments from the much-missed Willie Rushton. Join them for a feast of festive fun with all the seasonal trimmings!

Hilarious first part
Very funny beginning, amazing wit by all on the show, but let down by a mediocre second half. Worth the money for the first show alone.

Always entertaining (1st part anyway)
Sadly I agree with the other reviewer who said first part was good but subsequent episodes were average, even Stephen Fry couldn't make it funnier. I enjoyed it but its not the teams best offerings.

Simply Magic!
This may be nearly 10 years old but it is as fresh and funny as the day it was first broadcast. I originally bought it in cassette form, then upgraded to CD and now mp3 for my ipod. That's how much I enjoy listening to it. Full of traditional Clue fun this is a must for any fan of the show and ideal for those new to the genre. Right from the outset the laughs come quickly even when you've heard it time and time again. To give your a clue (pun intended) as to how good this is, I even bought additional CDs for friends and family and have a copy in my car for long journeys. I never tire of this and neither will you.

the antidote to christmas
bah humbug - I dislike christmas shows.
But I laughed out loud several times and groaned in pain at the puns far too often listening this, the special edition is more scripted than most but definitely not to it's detriment, the structure just allows the cast to do what they do best with more regularity.
It's Clue with everything to love about it, and as with other collections of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue it's something to listen to over and over - no matter what time of year.
With all the favourite cast from the classic Willie Rusthon era up to the best of special guests from recent years there's something to please everyone - god bless them one and all.
