more from same (British Comedy) |
 The following is the official announcement of the 2008 ISIHAC tour dates.
Dear I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Mailing list member,

 From Monday's Guardian...
In praise of... I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue
Mrs Trellis of north Wales will no doubt be sitting by her wireless at 6.30pm this evening when the start of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue's 50th series is announced by the show's bumbling brass theme (based on a tune by Haydn). What follows is guaranteed to be brilliant. It always is.
Listening is like being welcomed back into a comfortable club on a wet winter's night, a cheerful refuge from a dour, serious world outside. There may be people who are tired of its routines, its in-jokes and innuendo - but they are the sort of humourless listeners who write in to the BBC asking for the rules of Mornington Crescent to be explained (200 do every series), who wonder why Samantha hasn't read out the score in years and probably question the need for the licence fee to fund Humph's expensive laser display board, too. Everyone else appreciates the show's relaxed brilliance. Many things contribute to this, starting with Humphrey Littleton, who has chaired the show since it began in 1972, getting funnier and bolder through the years. He does deadpan gags better than anybody else in broadcasting and gets more smut past the BBC, too. Without him the show would not have made it through 10 series, let alone 50, a magnificent score matched only by the even longer-lived Just A Minute. By rights Clue should have stopped being funny years ago. But there is nothing dusty or exhausted about a programme that still asks silly people to do silly things, and gets away with it every time.

Here's an excerpt from BBC 7's November 9th Newsletter about the repeats
I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again
We are having a break from I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, and bringing you a run of one of our most requested classic comedies starting next week. Here is your opportunity to listen to the pilot episode of the long-running series, I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, featuring the Goodies’ Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie, plus of course the inimitable John Cleese. The roots of the show are in undergraduate revues, with this pilot recorded at the Cambridge Circus, in the West End. Described by Barry Took as 'A kaleidoscope of funny voices, catch phrase and innuendo', I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again pre-dates I'm Sorry I Haven’t A Clue and was an excellent showcase for new comic talent of that time.
Monday at 12:30pm and 7:30pm
