I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue is a BBC radio comedy panel game first broadcast in 1972, developed by, among others, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie as a self-described antidote to conventional panel games, presenting a deliberately absurd set of invented games and rounds with rules that are frequently nonsensical or impossible to follow. Long chaired by Humphrey Lyttelton, whose deadpan delivery of the program's often risque scripted introductions and asides became one of its signature elements, the show built a devoted following over several decades on BBC radio. It remains one of the longest running and most distinctively surreal comedy panel games in British broadcasting.
