I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue is a BBC radio comedy panel game. It has been broadcast since 11 April 1972 on BBC Radio 4 with new series currently rotating with the other Monday night comedy staples The Unbelievable Truth and Just a Minute. Repeats are aired on BBC Radio 4 Extra and the BBC World Service. All episodes are available for seven days after each individual broadcast on the BBC iPlayer.

Introduced as "the antidote to panel games", it consists of two teams of two comedians "given silly things to do" by a chairman. The show was conceived in 1972 as a parody of radio and TV panel games. The 50th series was broadcast in November and December 2007 on BBC Radio 4.

After a period of split chairmanship in the first series, Humphrey Lyttelton ("Humph") served in this role from the programme's inception until his death in 2008. In April 2008, following the hospitalisation and subsequent death of Lyttelton, recording of the 51st series was postponed. The show recommenced on 15 June 2009 with Lyttelton being replaced by a trio of hosts: Stephen Fry, Jack Dee and Rob Brydon. Dee went on to host all episodes of the 52nd series later that year. He continues in that role for forthcoming series. The chairman's script is written by Iain Pattinson who has worked on the show since 1992.
