I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: The Best of Forty Years by Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden | Waterstones Introduced as "the antidote to panel games", it consists of two teams of two comedians "given silly things to do" Im Sorry I Havent a Clue: the Best of Forty Years a chairman. The 50th series was broadcast in November and December After a period of split chairmanship in the first series, [2] Humphrey Lyttelton "Humph" served in this role from the programme's inception until his death in A panel game with no competition was not itself a new idea: the BBC had a history of successful quiz shows designed to allow witty celebrities to entertain where winning was not important. Dave Lee, who was bandleader on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Againwas at the piano and a number of rounds were introduced by a short phrase of music. Since then the fourth seat on the panel has featured a variety of guest comedians. The show has over two million listeners on Radio 4 and its recording sessions typically fill seat theatres within a week of being advertised. Although there are twelve Clue shows broadcast per year these are the result of just six recording sessions, with two programmes being recorded back-to-back. The show was recently voted the second funniest radio programme ever, after The Goon Show. It has a large following among professional comedians such as Armando Iannucciwho turned down opportunities to work on it as he preferred to remain a listener. Humphrey Lytteltonprimarily known as a jazz trumpeter and bandleader, was invited to be chairman because of the role played by improvisation in both comedy and jazz music. He claimed the secret was just to read what was in front of him without understanding why it was funny. He adopted the grumpy Im Sorry I Havent a Clue: the Best of Forty Years of someone who would really rather be somewhere else, which he attributed to worrying that, surrounded by four professional comedians, he would have nothing worthwhile to chip in. He did occasionally depart from the script, however, often bringing the house down with an ad-lib. On 18 April the producer of I'm Sorry I Haven't A ClueJon Naismithannounced that, owing to hospitalisation to repair an aortic aneurysmHumphrey Lyttelton would be unable to record the scheduled shows and that they would have to be postponed. The final show of the Best of tour on 22 April would be presented by Rob Brydon. In the Clue mailout for September Naismith stated: "Despite the rumours, we've made no decisions about possible replacements for Humph, and are unlikely to make any decisions this year at least. Certainly I don't envisage us selecting anyone on a permanent basis for several series. The first new shows would be hosted by rotating guest presenters similarly to the format of Have I Got News for You before a permanent replacement host was decided. Every series since then has been chaired by Dee. However, Colin Sell now usually fills this role. He is often the butt of jokes about his musical ability to which he is unable to respond as he has no microphone. Lyttelton's band also appeared on a couple of Christmas specials. It was chosen by David Hatch. Guests have included: [10]. Raymond Baxter was occasionally drafted to commentate on sessions of Mornington Crescent and also presented the one-off special Everyman's Guide to Mornington Crescent. A episode featured a round of Useless Celebritiesa parody of Pointless Celebritiesand featured Richard Osman as the co-presenter this was broadcast three years before Osman appeared on the panel. A episode featured a spoof of The Chase which featured Anne Hegertyone of the Chasers from the show. On one occasion Humph announced that they had a very distinguished actor as a guest who would join in the game of Mornington Crescent. When the game started, after great ceremony, the penultimate player, the last of the panellists, won on his first move, thus denying the distinguished guest the opportunity to make a single move. The chairman apologised but explained that this was an unavoidable possibility and the guest left without having uttered a word.

He says, also, that he sat on the Committee for 22 years. A couple of years ago, he agreed to take up, formally, the post of Hon. Archivist, one that he has in fact held informally for a long time. He is therefore in a unique position to take an overview of the Club over the past half century. He agreed to dip back, not just into his memory but also into the Archives, and he has written the following retrospective for the period 1967 to 2015.

  • 'The University Rector'
    ‘The University Rector’ Introduction to the Role of University Rector in Scotland ‘The University Rector’ Introduction to the role of University Rector in Scotland In Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and St Andrews, “The rector … shall preside at meetings of the University Court …” (Universities (Scotland) Act 1889) Contents 1 Background 2 Definition of role – statute and interpretation 3 Brief history of Rectors and their activities 4 An institution under threat – at all the ‘ancients’ 5 Restoring the ‘institutional memory’ 6 The 21st century Rector 7 Selecting nominees – values and person spec 8 A Rector’s Charter 9 A meaningful election contest – components 10 Rector’s Assessor – role, selection, person spec 11 Celebrations! 1 Background The aim of this ‘Introduction’ is to explain what the job of rector is all about, why it exists, why it is important, how it has survived the centuries, and how to ensure that it fulfils its potential. Whatever your angle, we hope it is of interest to you, whether you are a student leader, a student voter, a candidate being invited to accept a nomination, a Court member or a university manager. Production of this ‘Introduction’ was prompted by the lack of easily accessible information on the post of the university rector - a key element in the institutional history and culture of the four ancient universities of Scotland (and of Dundee, which split from St Andrews in 1967). Little is published on the responsibilities of the role itself, but material is quoted, with the permission of the author, from books on the various rectorships by Donald Wintersgill.1 1 Donald Wintersgill (2005) The Rectors of the University of Edinburgh 1859-2000; Dunedin Academic Press, Edinburgh; Donald Wintersgill ( ) The Rectors of Glasgow University 1820- 2000; Donald Wintersgill (in press 2007) ‘The Rectors of the University of St Andrews.
