Would you like to see Colin Sell busking on the street for cups of tea? More to the point would you like to hear Colin Sell busking on your way to work?

"I'd like to read you a recent review of Colin Sell's last concert. "Colin Sell's performance could only have been improved if he'd had a go at singing."

*pause*

Sorry, I'll read that again. "Colin Sell's performance could only have been improved if he'd had a goat singing."

Lionel Blair.

Lionel Blair.

Oooooh, good call. Doesn't come across well on radio though

Err... Excuse me, but - in 1997 - Lionel Blair managed to whack off almost 80 competitors to win the R4 tennis contest... He then used his mouth to great effect when beating off 5 of the radio's best interviewers who accused him of cheating by playing with uncertified balls.

I remember him on "Give us a clue" trying to pull off twelve angry men in under two minutes in front of an impressed Una Stubbs.

Aside from the man Fry, David Mitchell is the only soul mentioned who makes me go "Hmmmm, very possibly".

I am on the mailing list, the most recent mail shot states...

"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".

 

[kittyP]

Rob Brydon for me.

Clement Freud? Jeremy Hardy? They're not carbon copies of Humph (who is?) but I think they could both carry off the fake gravitas.

These and David Mitchell with a few others in rotation.

I adore Stephen Fry but I don't think this is the role for him.

No one will be Humph though and it wont be the same

Dear ISIHAC Mailing List Member,

I bring news of the long-awaited return of 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue', back for its 51st series following the death of our beloved chairman Humphrey Lyttelton last year.

We will probably need to start looking for a permanent replacement for Humph at some stage in the future, but for this series at least, and probably for the next, we will simply be asking past panellists from the wider 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' family to deputise in the role.

ISIHAC stalwarts Stephen Fry, Jack Dee and Rob Brydon have all agreed to host the shows in this series.

These are the three recordings dates:

1. Sunday 26th April at Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, London, with guest host Stephen Fry.

TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM 10am ON TUESDAY 3rd MARCH

We will be recording two editions of the programme at Her Majesty's Theatre with guest host Stephen Fry.

Did it always cost to go to a recording?

 

[belboid]

they were free when it was at the Paris Theatre, but I do think they cost a small amount up in t'provinces

I think you're all mad. Has Stephen Fry even been on ISIHAC? More than once or twice? When has Clarkson ever been on it? It's not a radio version of HIGNFY, behave.

 

[El Jefe]

Jack fucking Dee

Jack fucking Dee

Him I like but radio people are very very different to TV people. This thread makes no sense

Fry has been a regular guest, he's just not there almost every week like Brooke-Taylor, Garden etc
