About this listen

A 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 36 hilarious editions, collected together for the first time. He presides over regular players Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and Willie Rushton, plus guests including Stephen Fry, Tony Hawks, Andy Hamilton, Paul Merton, Sandi Toksvig and Jeremy Hardy.

Hear them having their wicked way with favourite rounds, including One Song to the Tune of Another, Limericks, Sound Charades, Cheddar Gorge and Swanee Kazoo. The teams are helped along by lively audiences from a variety of British towns and cities, and, as is customary on Clue, Colin Sell is at the piano, and the lovely Samantha sits on Humph's right hand.

Also included is a special episode, 'Everyman's Guide to Mornington Crescent', which reveals the full and unexpurgated history of the greatest game on earth; and Willie Rushton's last show, featuring an introductory tribute from Ned Sherrin.

A feast of unrestrained revelry and inspired ad-libs, this is the authentic, award-winning antidote to panel games. Accept no substitutes!

Duration: 18 hours approx.

Lots of fun.

Generally an entertaining listen.

The first couple of episodes are very entertaining and we’re good for a few raucous laughs.
Unfortunately there are a number of episodes to the end when the show was taken on the road that are very repetitive.
I am sure that listening to these episodes once a week would have been fine, but hearing them played one after the other was not as entertaining.

I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Treasury

This show is so funny that I sometimes distract my coworkers because I can't keep myself from laughing out loud.

The show's format is similar to Who's Line Is It, Anyway? with the host mediating while the panelists ad-lib responses, finish famous quotes in unexpected ways, sing one song to the tune of another, provide budget-cut or failed movie/book titles, and play games.

I was excited to see recently that a second treasury is set for release in October, 2017 - and I have already pre-ordered it (it's May).

If you like British comedy - be it Monty Python or Last of the Summer Wine - I think you will enjoy this program.

Anyone For a Round of Mornington Crescent?

It's impossible to be in a bad mood after listening to I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. It's just pure fun. Delightfully unpretentious, playful, endlessly charming. A wonderful combination of erudition and silliness. At least once in every episode they say something that makes me laugh so hard I scare the cat. Scaring the cat funny, is a good scale with which to measure humor.

Silly, erudite, irreverent, and brilliant.

I thoroughly enjoy British panel shows, but this self-proclaimed "antidote to panel shows" has got to be my favorite panel show of all time. Only "The Unbelievable Truth" and television's "Would I Lie to You" even come close for me. This is a marvelous treasury of old programs from the series. The wit and humor is wonderful. I have listened several times and plan to listen many more. If you enjoy this treasury, be sure to buy the second volume. Both are well worth a credit.

Wonderful but with repeats

Love the show. Wish they didn’t choose some episodes which repeat to pad out the collection.
