Never sorry about this., 2003-12-02
I loved this. I was stuck in a traffic jam, and have rarely enjoyed an hour-long journey to work so much.
Too young (just!) to have listened to the programme from the start, it was good to hear how it evolved. From the very first episode you can spot all the familiar games, and you cannot imagine anyone other than Humph being allowed to chair it. Oh, and the points system used to work too, although nobody cared!
I'm Sorry I Haven't a Desert Island is also a gem: there I was, listening to the great and good and Neil Kinnock describing their favourite rounds, nodding my head in agreement.
The show has survived the loss of the incredibly funny Willie Rushton. Stephen Fry, Sandy Toksvig and Paul Merton have fitted in well but, for me, Jeremy Hardy will always take a lot of beating, particularly in the music rounds. I do worry for the future though - could they ever manage without Humph? Certainly Samantha would find it tough, sitting on someone else's right hand.
Put this in a box and throw sugar at it if you like. Or better still, buy it and play it again and again until it wears out.
The only trouble with Clue is that now and again you find yourself unable to hum the original words to the original tune. Love me Tender can really only be sung properly to the tune of the Archers...
Wonderfully funny!, 2008-12-16
I have to agree with the rest of the reviews - a great CD to play in the car, but just be careful to concentrate or you'll miss your turning.
I was a huge fan of Willy Rushton, but the vein of rich humour remains running through 'Clue' and never seems to be lost.
Just brilliant!
This is radio comedy at its best ; a British institution, 2006-09-14
I'm probably preaching to the converted, but ISIHAC is intelligent, naughty, fantastic, foolish, sarcastic, and more.
iPod users beware - you simply cannot stop yourself laughing to this.
The radio in my car died and so I dug these out of my cupboard. Haven't enjoyed the commute so much for ages.
Don't miss out.
ISIHAC, 2004-11-02
I bought this CD to play in the car. I laughed so much that I missed my turn off.
 More quality '...Clue', 2008-10-26
I had the tape of this and loaned it to a woman I worked with, she was then suspended from work and in the interim I left my job to go to another one. In short, I would like it back, so if you are reading this (you know who you are!) can you find some way of getting it back to me? I could just buy a replacement couldn't I? Maybe I will. Anyway, this is more good '...Clue', some hilarious moments, particularly on the anniversary show with Stephen Fry (sound charades is among many funny moments). Clue fans will know what to expect and will not be disappointed. I only give it four stars because the first ever show which was broadcast back in the early seventies and included in this collection is not at all funny, and was, I suppose, only included as a curiosity.
