I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue Anniversary Special

To celebrate three decades of organised madness on air, this special programme was recorded at London's Playhouse Theatre, scene of the first ever edition. Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and Stephen Fry are given silly things to do by Humphrey Lyttelton, with a Mornington Crescent commentary by Raymond Baxter. This hour-long feature is introduced by the original producer, David Hatch, and includes extra material not previously broadcast.

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Desert Island

Celebrity fans of the programme - among them Dame Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent, Germaine Greer and Neil Kinnock - request their favourite Clue moments from the archives.

Here it is - digitally remastered, the pilot edition which spawned a legend. Featuring Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden, Jo Kendall and Bill Oddie, the chair is reassuringly occupied by Humph in this rare flashback to bygone Clue days.
