Simon:
From Chaucer to Carry On to Clary, Britons have long lapped it up.  So to speak.  And a master such as the late Humphrey Lyttelton made almost anything sound unspeakably filthy.

Clive:
Yes, he was a genius of comedy.   :D

Simon:
I'm beginning to wonder what I've been missing, never having heard 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'.  Barry Crier is also a comic genius.

That article mentioned the Janet and John stories on Wogan, and I have to say, I have to stop the car when they come on, as I can't drive for laughing.  I bought the CDs as well, and they are just face achingly hilarious.

GillE:
Hi Simon

The BBC broadcast an episode of ISIHAC (which was recorded in 1995) as a tribute to Humph.  It's still available online here (if I've got the link right):

I recorded several episodes myself before the BBC got hot on DRM protection for their programs; if I could find a way to get them to you, I would.  To be honest, there have been much funnier examples than the episode the BBC chose as its tribute.

Simon:
Thanks Gill, I'll have a look at that later.  It's telling me I need plugins at the moment, which I don't yet have on the new PC, and I'm just off to work, so haven't time to fiddle about with it now.

What format are your recorded episodes in?  I would happily pay any costs if you were able to burn them to a CD for me.
