It will be an interesting listen.

I'm optimistic about these new shows. Personally I think a new chairman
will bring a new dynamic to the games. Enforced changes such as Humph's
death can force a show to move on and ultimately survive. As sort of
evolution of the series (pun intended).

It will be further interesring to hear Jack Dee and Rob Brydon chair
other shows in the series (Stephen, Jack and Rob chaired two recordings
each).

My hope is that Clue doesn't follow JaM and return to being
London-centric. I have seen four Clue recordings as they came to
various venues around the UK. I don't count the commercial tour as
that's the same panelists each time and is much more scripted. Not to
mention costing around three times the ticket price of the BBC
recordings. I do understand the BBC's desire to use the new Radio
Theatre where possible, but it does mean that those of us who live in
the regions will never see a recording.
