Dunno who else here listens to Humph and the crew on the light programme, but it's just been reported that the aortic aneurysm he suffered a few days ago has caused him to croak.

A very sad day :(

I've got it on the sky box - so should be able to get a nice high quality rip of it.

I'm pulling it off the iplayer into mp3 Flib. May save you the hassle if you're ok with the quality :)

I've found a torrent with 374 episodes all the way from the first one up to 2006. Not sure if it's complete or not but at 7Gb it's a substantial download which also contains a load of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again but I've skipped those. Filename is "I__m_Sorry_I_Haven__t_A_Clue_(ISIHAC)_BBC-Radio.3647603.TPB" on t'bay.

May already have them.... ;) Although as far as I can remember - officially there is only 363 episodes

Although I absolutely love ISIRTA and have every show already.

But...

1st May
Humphrey Lyttelton day on Radio 4
Radio 4 will be dedicating Sunday 15th June in tribute to Humph. There will be a mix of repeat (like his Desert Island Discs show) and new shows, including a new profile of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue by Stephen Fry.

There also appears to be discussion going on at the BBC about the show continuing. Reports on this and the tribute day can be found on Chortle and the Guardian.

30th april
Tribute to Humph by the ISIHAC teams
The teams from I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue will pay their own special tribute to Humph in a special show. It will be broadcast Sunday 11th May on Radio 4. Not sure when though.
