I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue after Humphrey Lyttelton
The 'antidote to panel games' returns after the death of its chairman, Humphrey Lyttelton.
Neil Smith, The Sunday Times, 24th May 2009Barry Cryer: Those old ones are still the best
The treacle-voiced stalwart of radio's I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, is still going strong after more than 30 years of side-splitting gags and anecdotes.
Matthew Bell, The Independent, 19th April 2009It's been going since about the early 13th century, but is still the funniest thing pretty much anywhere. Need I say more?
Roland White, The Times, 12th April 2009Three into one can go, but they won't replace Humph
It is a tribute to the magnificent Humphrey Lyttelton that his replacement as host of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue has been named as Stephen Fry. And Rob Brydon. And Jack Dee. A revolving comic trinity, in place of the one god.
Victoria Coren, The Observer, 1st March 2009Fry, Dee and Brydon take on Clue
Stephen Fry, Jack Dee and Rob Brydon are to share hosting duties for a new series of BBC Radio 4 comedy panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue this summer.

BBC, 25th February 2009It'll take three men to replace one Humphrey Lyttelton
No one person could take over from Lyttelton. Perhaps that's why Radio 4 are replacing him with three British comedy giants.

Humphrey Lyttelton was a born comedian - but even he had a script. Iain Pattinson the man who wrote the gags for I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, recalls his razor-sharp wit in this interview with The Guardian.
Iain Pattinson, The Guardian, 20th October 2008I'm sorry, we haven't a clue: Who will replace Humphrey Lyttelton?
The programme's producer, Jon Naismith, confirmed yesterday: "We have decided we want to continue with the show. We enjoy it too much to stop altogether." He added: "It won't happen straight away because we're still mourning Humphrey". Recording was likely to begin next year, he said. "We had thousands of emails when Humph died saying do please continue."
Emily Dugan, The Independent, 24th August 2008Barry Cryer: How will we ever get over the Humph?
He [Humphery Lyttleton] never swore - too much style for that. Well, hardly ever. The last show we ever did with him was on our live tour, in Harrogate, just a few weeks ago. We were all at the same hotel. At breakfast he had prunes. He took one bite, looked up from his bowl and said: 'How can you f*** up a prune?'
