 here is another article  , this  time for the independant , including comments fomr producer john naismith . independant article on isihac 

i think you can take it as correct that clue is reutrning next year .  it seems like series 51 will be an audition  if you like for the next presenter but they do hope to get a full time one eventually .  off the list that the independant mention   the best chioces in my opinion would be sandi toksvig or stepehn fry . also would anyone think paul merton would make a good presenter  of the show .  he has been on it .

cheers

Linda
