Too many clues?

18 December 2006

I think I’ve been overdosing on I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue! (Is it possible to listen to too many?)

Last week BBC7 ran a programme a day as a tribute to Willie Rushton who died 10 years ago last week. (Was it really 10 years ago? Where does the time go). It was a lovely set of programmes, each one a highlight for Willie’s performance, and each was wonderfully introduced by one of the team – Jon Naismith (the producer) on Monday, followed by Barry, Graeme, Tim and Humph on successive days.

On Saturday, as part of the Christmas Comedy Stocking there was another chance to hear I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Christmas Carol which made me feel very Christmassy, as well as laughing a lot. It was also good to hear the late Linda Smith again.

Today it was more back to usual, with the BBC7 Monday repeat and the last from the new series on Radio 4. It was a cracking end to the series, with I think the highlight being Graeme’s rendition of the Scissor SistersI Don’t Feel Like Dancing, which really shouldn’t be as funny as it was. I think it might even be the best pick-up song ever – not only did it make me laugh a lot, but it was also spot on with timing and key so it even beats Rob Brydon’s Tom Jones efforts!

So that’s nine programmes in a week (including last week’s on Radio 4) – is that too much?
