A Fan Space dedicated to the best show on radio
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue was first broadcast on 11th April 1972. The idea was conceived as a sort of sequel to I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again by Graeme Garden, who saw it as a way of reproducing ISIRTA's atmosphere and spirit of fun, but without having to write a script. The fact that there was, thus, no need to pay the teams to script-write meant that this went down very well at the BBC!
The show is chaired by the acerbic Humphrey Lyttleton and for many years the panels consisted of Graeme Garden & Barry Cryer against Tim Brooke-Taylor and Willie Rushton. Sadly, on 11th December 1996, the show suffered the sad loss of Willie Rushton and instead of trying to replace the irreplaceable, there have been many guests over the intervening years including Jeremy Hardy, Tony Hawks, Andy Hamilton, Sandi Toksvig, Stephen Fry, Linda Smith, Paul Merton and Rob Brydon.
Over the years, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue has gained an enormous following, thanks to the humour, the familiarity and the banter that has come to be associated with the show.
