Get Well Soon Humph

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Just heard that the host of I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, Humphrey Littleton, has been admitted to hospital.

From Digital Spy:

The spring series of I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue has been cancelled while Humphrey Lyttelton awaits an operation.

The veteran host’s official website informed fans that the 86-year-old needed surgery because of an aortic aneurysm.

A note on the site said it would give updates on his condition. It said: “He is in good spirits and is enjoying the visits of family and friends.”

Lyttelton, also a Jazz musician, has presented the comedy panel show on BBC Radio 4 since 1972.

We all hope you get well soon, Humph, and back to work as soon as you’re able.

I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue is on tour, this week kicking off at Hammermith Apollo.

And when I say “on tour”, I mean “on tour”.

Humphrey Lyttelton, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Jeremy Hardy and the pianist Colin Sell are appearing in the second phase of the tour that began in 2007, and comprising of favourite rounds from the shows 35 years.

The tour is not being recorded for Radio 4, although there’s no reason why it shouldn’t end up on a special audio release.

I you haven’t come across I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, then that is something you need to resolve quickly. It is Quintessential Comedy, and can easily be purchased via download or on CD from varying outfits, including Amazon.

The series own description is “”the antidote to panel games”, and the four panel members of comedians are split into two teams and “given silly things to do” by the chairman, Humphrey Lyttleton.

Now if that isn’t a recipe for success, I don’t know what is.
