I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue is returning to R4. Hooray!
Life might be worth living after all, contrary to all the other evidence.

Surely one of the finest radio programmes ever broadcast.

Lost count of the amount of times I have been driving home listening to it and laughing my Cream Crackers off...... :lol:

Cheers

Stephen Fry Jack Dee and Rob Brydon, in turn.

It's not unprecedented, the first series had the Chairman alternating between Humph and Barry Cryer.

The beeb have sent out this email :-

"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. Tickets cost £10.50, £8.50 and £6.50 and can
be purchased by phone by calling See Tickets on 0844 412 4657. The lines are
open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Alternatively tickets can be booked
online via the theatre's website at http://www.seetickets.com

2. Sunday 17th May at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, with guest host
Jack Dee.

TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM 9.30am ON MONDAY 2nd MARCH

We will be recording two editions of the programme at the Mayflower with
guest host Jack Dee. Tickets cost £8, £6.50 and £5 and can be purchased by
phone by calling the Mayflower's Box Office on 02380 711811. The lines are
open from Monday to Saturday 9.30am (10am Fridays) to 8.30pm. The phone
lines close at 5.30pm on Saturdays when there is no performance.
Alternatively tickets can be booked online via the theatre's website at

3. Thursday 4th June at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle, with guest host Rob
Brydon.

TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM 9am ON MONDAY 9th MARCH

We will be recording two editions of the programme in Newcastle Mayflower
with guest host Rob Brydon. Tickets cost £8 and £6 and can be purchased by
phone by calling the Theatre Royal's Box Office on 08448 11 21 21. The
lines are open from Monday to Saturday, 9am - 8pm (Wednesday 10am - 8pm).
On Sundays and Bank Holidays they are open from 2 hours before a
performance. Alternatively tickets can be booked online via the theatre's
website at
http://www.theatreroyal.co.uk/whats_on/ ... _ID=102030

All three recordings start at 7.30pm and are likely to finish around 10.30pm
latest. We don't recommend the recordings for children under the age of 14.
Tickets are limited to no more than four per applicant, and you are advised
to book early as they sell very fast.

Beware of purchasing tickets for the show from a non authorised source -
should any show be cancelled, if you have not purchased the ticket direct
from the box office, you would not be eligible for a refund.

Each theatre will keep the details of the first 30 callers to miss out on
tickets, so those with tickets who suddenly find they can't attend will be
able to re-sell them at the theatre's box office to a deserving member of
the mailing list.

With best wishes
