Thanks. Thankfully it's nothing tragic, just fairly stressful.
Luckily, help is at hand, as both CDs arrived this morning; I haven't
listed to them yet, but I'll take time to digest and enjoy them over
the weekend and post something on Sunday.

If anyone was wondering which particular shows are included (as I
didn't know which specific ones were included until now), the back
cover lists the following episodes:

27 April 1977
6 March 1982
11 April 1983
20 July 1998

The bottom paragraph is also interesting:

"Each episode is preceded by extracts from a fascinating conversation
between Nicholas Parsons and Paul Merton, in which they
good-humouredly reflect upon the enormous appeal of the game, the
various techniques for playing it, the numerous guest players who have
taken part over the years, and their favourite moments in these
particular instalments."

The back cover of the Clue CD doesn't tell us much we don't already
know, except that the two recordings are from 14 May 1995 and 12 May
1996, both at the Theatre Royal in Brighton, and again feature
introductions from Jon Naismith. No guest panellists this time, just
the four regulars. Humph is also referred to as "the late, great
Humphrey Lyttelton", which is a nice touch. The usual programme
description on the interior sleeve also now concludes with a new
paragraph: "Humphrey Lyttelton, broadcaster, musician, presenter and
master of the innuendo, died on 25 April 2008".

Very much looking forward to hearing these. I'll probably listen to
one sometime today, and the other on the Sunday afternoon.
