Huge news from the BBC this morning – I’m Sorry, I Haven’t A Clue is set to return to the schedules. As a long-time fan, I feel ambivalent about this.
It’s fantastic to know the show could have a future – and it’s my firmly-held belief that its contribution to the national Silliness Quotient is worth every penny of the licence fee on its own.
But no Humph? This from The Guardian:
New signings announced for Radio 4
Radio 4 plans to return the much loved panel show I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue to the airwaves with a new chairman following the death this year of long-serving presenter and venerated jazzman Humphrey Lyttelton.
The station’s controller, Mark Damazer, revealed yesterday that it would return next spring as he unveiled a string of other new programmes and signings as part of his mission to refresh Radio 4′s tone and content. Read full story here…

There was too much art in Humph’s performance for a rotating chair – the solution favoured by Graeme Garden – to appear anything other than pathetic.
Now Jack Dee, on the other hand, would be well up to the challenge.
