I ditto what Andrew says! 

For me...

Having read the Clue Bible (and not being there in the 60's myself). It was a huge treat and opportunity, to see this show.  And also great to see and meet Jo Kendall!  She is an absolutely lovely lady! And so wonderful to talk too. 

(Graeme, your brilliant too!  )

It's been awhile since I last listened to ISIRTA.  So it did take me bit to get me bearings of the format an everything, also of how it looked (as I'm so used to watching and listening to Clue.)  But, as i say it was huge treat to be there.  And me and Helen (Sosia) were lucky enough to be invited to the pub afterwards by Barnaby.  Which was nice!    And magic to see what happened on a usual recording day of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again. - See ISIRTA at the "Playhouse Theatre" then head to the "Sherlock Holmes pub" afterwards. Magic!  Just magic!...

My next ISIRTA, is in Cheltenham with Tim and Jo.  But am looking at Worcester too.  (Will see on that ) .

Big thanks to Barnaby Eton-Jones and everyone for putting this on reviving it! 

Looking forward to July already. 

My wife and I had the great pleasure of seeing the Chipping Norton show last night, and the experience of being able to see the full force of classic "ISIRTA" material being performed live on stage by a tremendous cast including two of the original line-up is something truly special for me which I shall never, ever forget.  In addition, last night the audience also included both Humphrey Barclay and Lizzie Evans.

This really is a superb re-staging, and for me there were some of my very favourite routines, gags and sketches (notably the start of "Professor Prune and the Electric Time Trousers"). Also there was one point where some material which I'd been convinced would never see the light of the day again for being too controversial in the current climate *did* in fact make a brief appearance.  All in all, an extremely potent mix of material, with the songs in particular standing up superbly well and benefiting from live accompaniment and rousing, energetic renditions.

The new cast have a perfect grasp on how the humour and pace of the original show worked, and threw themselves into the gags and routines with amazing verve, making the whole experience an utter delight.  Of the original cast, seeing live a "John and Mary" sketch featuring Jo Kendall and an appearance of Arnold P Totteridge in the form of Graeme Garden was absolute bliss!

There's so much to enjoy in this show and it's done with such attention to detail and affection for the unique style of the original that it was impossible not to be captivated by it.  Julie and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and it was well worth the long journey over the beautiful hamlet of Chipping Norton (whose forthcoming literary festival is also offering some fascinating speakers).

If you have a love for classic radio comedy, I don't think you'll want to miss this experience.  So check out a performance that sorts you, sign up while there are still tickets (the amazing venue of the Theatre at Chipping Norton appeared to be booked solid last night) ... and get along to cheer Spot the Dog and boo all your favourite contrived puns!

Thank you to all involved in one of the most special and enjoyable evening's entertainments that I can remember.

All the best

Andrew

***Update*** 5/12/2016

I've been a fan of Mitch for a loooong time and once spent a very lovely time dissecting Doctor Who and comedy in a bar in the late evening at a convention in Liverpool many moons ago (thank you Mike Hall for the introduction). So, I'm really very excited that he's agreed to join us on tour with 'I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again... Again!' - a perfect match for the fast-paced, anarchic, musical mayhem that the original radio show produced. Here's the list of shows below. Come and see him (and, indeed, the others!)...
