I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue Review
Lyttelton's great conceit was to behave as if he held the show, its contestants and, indeed, Mrs Trellis, in utter contempt, a trick that the benign Fry will never be able to pull off. I cannot wait to hear Jack Dee have a go.
Valentine Low, The Times, 16th June 2009Video: Popular Radio 4 comedy returns
The much-loved Radio 4 comedy I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue is returning to the airwaves after the death of its chairman Humphrey Lyttleton last year.
Graham Satchell went to a recording of the show in Newcastle, with Rob Brydon putting in an appearance as guest chairman.
Graham Satchell, BBC, 15th June 2009After two weeks of trailers few can be unaware of the return of the "antidote to panel games" with Stephen Fry in the chair. Recorded at Her Majesty's Theatre weeks ago, the audience roars approval for Fry's saucy delivery of Iain Pattinson's salty script. Sven replaces Samantha as the invisible scorer, offering more chances to spot the innuendo. Graeme Garden, Barry Cryer, Tim Brooke-Taylor and guest panellist Victoria Wood make merry with the customary multitude of entendres, double and single Colin Sell, as ever, is at the piano.

The 'antidote to panel games' is back on air next week - this time without Humph. The Independent assesses the show's new hosts.
Alice Jones, The Independent, 13th June 2009After the sad passing of our beloved Humph, ISIHAC could have quietly shuffled off into the sunset, but it returns with guest host (and former panel member) Stephen Fry. Regulars Graeme Garden, Barry Cryer and Tim Brooke-Taylor are joined by new girl Victoria Wood, who turned down the chance to appear on the show 19 years ago, but hopefully will make many more appearances in future.

Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 10th June 2009TV panel shows are too 'male dominated'
Panel shows such as I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and Have I Got News For You are too 'male dominated' according to the comedienne Victoria Wood.
