i would'nt noramly post the i'm sorry i haven't a clue offical
mailing list mail out here but jon naismith has some interesting
things to say about the future of clue and who will host it . i
include all of it here .

Dear I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Mailing List Member,

It seems an opportune moment to communicate after the hiatus caused
by the death of our beloved Chairman Humph in April this year.

Firstly, on behalf of the team, I'd like to thank the thousands of
you who sent us messages of condolence. There were so many I regret
I have still not replied to 900 or so - I promise I will in due
course. And belatedly, on Humph's behalf, I'd like to thank the
thousands who sent Humph "Get Well" messages when he first went into
hospital. I spent several hours printing out as many as I could and
took a huge pile of them in for Humph to read in his hospital bed.
I'm so pleased he was able to able to appreciate the scale of
everyone's affection for him at what must have been a very worrying
time.

You will probably have heard the various Radio tributes to Humph
since his death. I do hope you caught the ISIHAC team's tribute to
the great man on 15th June narrated by Stephen Fry. If you didn't,
I'm pleased to say that BBC Audiobooks will be releasing it later
this year, together with the show Humph In Wonderland which we
recorded last Christmas. I will send further details of these in
due course.

And you might also have read Radio 4's announcement that we will be
continuing with I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue in 2009. We have all
been slightly ambivalent about continuing the show without Humph,
but have been greatly encouraged by the huge number of emails you've
sent encouraging us to keep going. Despite the rumours, we've made
no decisions about possible replacements for Humph, and are unlikely
to make any decisions this year at least. Certainly I don't
envisage us selecting anyone on a permanent basis for several series.

For anyone suffering withdrawal symptoms in the absence of their
biannual dose of 'Clue', there are several programmes and
publications either currently available or in the pipeline...

* On BBC iPlayer you can currently catch both the BBC4 tribute to
Humph, and a half-hour excerpt from the ISIHAC Tour show we filmed
at the Lowry Centre in Salford earlier this year. This is the only
complete film of ISIHAC in existence and was the last recording
Humph made before he went into hospital just ten days later. We
will be releasing the entire show as a DVD in due course, hopefully
by Christmas. The links to the iPlayer shows are as follows: For
the BBC4 Humph Tribute it's
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00ddwcy/ and for the half-hour
tour show except it's http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00dmpd2/

* On 10th October our publisher Trevor Dolby at Preface Books is
bringing out the complete collection of Humph's introductions to all
the places we visited over seventeen years touring the show, written
by Iain Pattinson. The book is entitled Lyttelton's Britain and
contains a large amount of previously unbroadcast material. As I
say in a foreword to the book, I think the combination of Iain
Pattinson and Humphrey Lyttelton has been the single most important
writer/performer partnership in British Radio since Galton & Simpson
started writing for Tony Hancock. It's a wonderful and hilarious
collection and I confidently predict it will be a best-seller. You
can pre-order a copy of Lyttelton's Britain now, and Trevor is
offering this book at a special discounted rate of 35% off the
retail price to members of this mailing list - that's less than
Amazon. Just go to http://www.chairmanhumph.co.uk/ and click
on 'Pre-Order Now', then enter the promotional code 'Lyttelton'
before purchasing, and the price will amend to £9.74 plus £2.75
postage, so £12.49 in total.

* Finally, I must tell you that our good friend and Clue regular
Andy Hamilton is touring his one man show 'Hat of Doom' around the
country over twenty dates from now until early December. You will
of course know Andy from his regular appearances on The News Quiz as
well as Radio 4's Old Harry's Game. Andy was co-creator and writer
of Channel 4's legendary Drop The Dead Donkey and has recently co-
created and written the stunningly good BBC1 sitcom Outnumbered,
which returns for a second series this Autumn. For the complete
list of Andy's tour dates, go to:
http://www.varietylives.com/schedule.html

And that's about it for now. I will of course keep you posted of
any future developments.

With best wishes

Jon Naismith
Producer, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

graeme garden and barry cryer during interviews for their new book
of hamish and dougal scrpits have said the same thing . there will
be no permanet new host at least for the next season if not longer .

it will be interesting to see how this works out .

by the way i have the legends humphrey lyttleton on megaupload
should anyone be interested .

cheers
Linda

Excellent, thanks for this.

I'd also like to note that the tour DVD is available to pre-order on
