I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue 2024

A stellar line-up and non-stop laughs from the award-winning BBC Radio 4 comedy show

It’s the show that needs no introduction! Probably because one wouldn’t really help… Hear the complete series 81 and 82 of Radio 4's multi award-winning ‘antidote to panel games’ with guaranteed quality and desk-based entertainment for all the family, hosted by reluctant chairman, Jack Dee.

Listen to inspired nonsense, pointless revelry and Colin Sell at the piano as a host of household names embark on fast-paced, witty improvisations that will leave you crying with laughter. Regular listeners will know what to expect with Mornington Cresent, the Uxbridge English dictionary and stories of Samantha and Sven’s latest antics. This is a show packed with inventive innuendo and ruthless one-liners and more song mash-ups than you can shake a swannee whistle at. Expect Dee’s signature deadpan delivery as he navigates a host of nonsensical games and activities along with the occasional letter from Mrs Trellis of North Wales. Kazoos at the ready!

Recorded in front of a live audience, Series 81 and 82 of I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue takes the non-stop humour to Oxford, Blackburn, Edinburgh, Exeter and Basingstoke with Dee’s excoriating introductions that both charm and delight. Rachel Parris, Vicki Pepperdine, Reverend Ricard Coles, Tony Hawkes, Pippa Evans, Rory Bremner, Miles Jupp, Caroline Quentin and Lucy Porter are just some of the names in this delightful series that’s not to be missed.

I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue has been broadcast on BBC 4 Radio for over 50 years. A national treasure, it was created by Graeme Garden and is one of the most popular, long running radio comedy shows of all time.
