Product Description
This title features the Christmas Special, called "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Christmas Carol", broadcast on Christmas Day 2003. Rather than being the normal quiz show, the regulars will be telling the story of Ebenezer Scrumph and his poor assistant Crotchet with the help of the regular guests - Jeremy Hardy, Sandi Toksvig, Tony Hawks, Andy Hamilton, Linda Smith, and Stephen Fry. A Clue extravaganza not to be missed! In addition CD 2 features the best of the historical Christmas "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".

On one cd, two older Christmas editions of Clue - complete with Willie Rushton; on the other the Tour de Force that is Ebenezer Scrumph running a music emporium, aided by his poorly paid pianist, Colin Crotchet.
Not only does this now stand as a fine tribute to Humph, but also to the late, great Linda Smith - one of the very few women ever permitted on the show (Jo Kendal, Denise Coffey, Sandi Toksvig - who is in this production - and if you can think of any others, let me know!). And in the role of Mrs Crotchet, she sneaks one of the best lines in the show: "Colin!" she cries, "did you open the door all by yourself? What a clever pianist you are. Normally you can't find the key and don't know where to come in..."
I rest my case. It's one of the best things you'll ever listen to with "Christmas" in the title.
(Oh - and for some reason I thought Stephen Fry could sing. Not when he's got to partner Jeremy Hardy, it seems...)

Most Christmas specials are dire :- the same bad jokes about turkey, wrapping and dissapointing presents.The "ISIHAC" team instead hilariously mock "A Christmas Carol" but manage to fit in the usual games :- cover your ears as Fry & Hardy salughter "A wandering Ministrel"; Samnatha is at it gain and "Mornington Crescent" is given the royal treatment.
Clever, witty and festive, audio Prozac I believe !

Look, this doesn't need a review!
The programme is legend, the laughs are guaranteed, and just be careful if you are listening whilst driving - you may lose control! Has the team even considered they may be responsible for a multiple pile - up?

Just don't drive and listen!
Went to see this show on its recording and thought it was one of the best nights entertainment. The CD is just as good, with Stephen Fry's narration. Read more
