Miss this at your peril - By: , 16 Jan 2004 
I wonder if Lionel Blair, erstwhile performer on Give Us A Clue, ever listens. This was the programmein which contestants had to mime a film, book or play,in silence & with hilarious results. As Humph's introductions to the radio version remind us, the Clue version differsin two important aspects...
I am a total Clue addict, but I nearly died listening to this tape. No record collection should be considered complete without having Graeme singing the words of "Meet the Flintstones" to the tune of "My Way".
You have to hear it!
I'm Not Sorry I Was Stuck In A Traffic Jam... - By: Eve Ningdress, 30 Jan 2003 ... because I was able to listen to I'm Sorry I Haven't a Desert Island & the pilot edition of the show while trying to get to work one morning last week. I was probably the only person laughing as I took 30 mins to travel half a mile.
The anniversay episode is good, & the OAPs Ball almost unrepeatable (Mr & Mrs Sert-it-but-to-no-effect, & their twins sons Ike & Justin), but if you want to become an ISIHAC bore, listen to the pilot & discover that One Song To The Tune of Another was the very first game played... Barry Cryer & Willie Rushton were not there - but neither were Samantha or Sven. We can only presume they were trying to reach Mornington Crescent.
Anyway, with traffic queuesin abundance along the motorways of our country, go & stock up your car with these tapes so you can while away the hours singing Love Me Tender to the tune of The Archers.
I defy you not to laugh......................... - By: S. Bradnam, 21 Dec 2002 One of BBC R4 best kept secrets,in terms of not getting the publicity it deserves. Utterly hilarious. ISIHAC has always been a combination of scripted material & impromptu, & this collection captures the comedy genius of the panelists very well....for example.....Modern translations of old phrases (Barry Cryer).."Carpe Diem...........Fish of the Day.....Apres Ski....The yoghurt's all gone". Quite brilliant, & very funny. Very highly recommended.
Hysterically funny - By: , 20 Jun 2002 This double cassette of the 'antidote to panel games'is also a wonderful antidote to boredom & gloom. It comprises of three shows, & a 'documentary' on Mornington Crescent, which is presented by Raymond Baxter.
All three of the shows are incredibly funny, & all the regular games (Cheddar Gorge, Mornington Crescent, One Song To The Tune Of Another, Complete Quotes) are there, as well as some less well known rounds (Lyttleton Country, Just a Minim).
This tape will be appreciated by people of all ages, whether or not they have any idea who the panelists are (although Goodies & ISIRTA fans are certain to enjoy it). I can't recommend it enough, & if enough people buy it, hopefully the BBC will take the hint & release it on CD.
Classic stuff - By: , 17 Feb 2002 If you are considering buying the best of British comedy then stop there. This radio show is the most consistently funny on radio & the participants on this tape (unfortunately Willie Rushton died around 1997) demonstrate the wonderful comic chemistry between themselves & Humphrey Lyttelton, the show's host.
Please do buy this!
