The Fully Authorised History of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue: The Clue Bible from Footlights to Mornington Crescent

Two radio classics, I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again and I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, form a body of work stretching across five decades, from Cambridge in 1960 to today’s world-beating Antidote to Panel Games, a laughter-bringer which has inspired unparalleled adoration in millions over fifty-two series and counting.

Jem Roberts tells the whole story, from Footlights to Broadway to the ferret-filled madness of Radio Prune – comedy’s answer to the rock ‘n’ roll revolution of the sixties.

Offering a complete guide to the comedy world that brought us Mornington Crescent, this book takes the story right up to the present day, celebrating the lives of Willie Rushton, Sir David Hatch and, of course, the irreplaceable Humphrey Lyttelton. With exclusive input from the Teams, plus Bill Oddie, Stephen Fry, Armando lannucci, John Lloyd and many more, this is the long-overdue, authoritative, entertaining – and above all very silly – lasting celebration of an unsung comic legacy.
