Raptor... it's an English thing. There's this brilliant radio show on BBC Radio 4 called "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" ("Clue" for short), which describes itself as "the antidote to panel games" and is one of the few shows I listen to that *literally* makes me Laugh out loud. Favourite features of the show are "Mornington Crescent" and "Late arrivals at the ... Ball" -- amongst many others. You can read more about it on the BBC Radio 4 or BBC Radio 7 "Clue" websites.

From the (Radio 7) website:
This radio game show was first broadcast on 11 April 1972, having evolved from a previous radio programme, I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again.

Chairman Humphrey Lyttleton, aided by his assistant Samantha and occasionally Sven, sets the teams tasks to complete such as singing the words of one song to the tune of another, acting radio charades, playing Mornington Crescent (an arcane game whose rules are much debated), or Cheddar Gorge, in which the teams compete not to complete a sentence. Colin Sell accompanies the musical rounds from the piano.

You can listen to it on the web through Radio 4 (although it's not on year-round & is not on air right now) at the site mentioned above, or you can listen to re-runs of the programme on BBC Radio 7 here (scroll down to "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue"), although it *may* lose a little something in translation, as it often refers to British TV shows, politics, celebrities, newspapers, etc that will not necessarily be familiar to Americans.

Enjoy!

Seeing as how now the ABC (oz) has stopped playing the old BBC Radio shows (admittedly at unlistenable hours!) probably because they don;t have money any mmore, it's probably unlikely that we will ever hear this one in Australia.

ISIRTA was where some of The Goodies honed their skills.

Australia is closer to British Humour than US humour, at least amongst us older ones.

Interesting... I had assumed that The Goodies pre-dated ISIRTA -- prolly 'cos I heard ISIRTA (on Kansas City's public radio station) many years after The Goodies were running (on Detroit's public television station). I suppose it's entirely possible that these programmes appeared in a different order than they were actually produced... any UK 'catters happen to know?

I'm sure that's true (even though I had to have the phrase "pommie bastards" explained to me after I moved here ;-) ). Of course, if you're really keen, you can listen online...

Cheers,

ISIRTA was the early 70's - Goodies were t'other end of the decade.
Who remembers "The Angus Prune Tune" then?

Where was Monty Python in the credits? John Cleese and Eric Idle were in ISIRTA too. In fact Eric Idle was one of the script writers.

Meanwhile back at the thread.........
