The antidote to panel games 
Chaired by the late, great Humphrey Lyttelton it stars Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Barry Cryer, with Colin Sell at the piano. Each recording they are joined by a guest panalist to replace the sadly missed Willie Rushton.
Clue has been going for 30 years but I only discovered it 3 years ago! I was hooked instantly & love the fantastically silly games. I was lucky enough to get tickets to a recording in Manchester last year & met Humph, Graeme & Tim
Some of my favourite games are 'one song to the tune of another', Cheddar Gorge, Sound Charades and New Definitions.
Before they play 'one song...' there is always an explanation of the game that ends with an insult to Colin Sell. For instance:
Try to think of the song as a cargo ship - the song is represented by the vessel sailing the oceans transporting the words, or cargo. Every now and again the ship, or song, comes into port and unloads its cargo, or words, and takes on a fresh cargo, and thereby one song is sung to the tune of another. Easy peasy lemon squeasy so far. But let me pre-empt your next question - yes indeed, what about fog? Surely the captain would have trouble finding the right berth in a harbour shrouded by fog with the inevitable consequence he might collide with the dock side. And the last thing you want is someone blindly bashing quays. At the piano Colin Sell.
;D
Anyone up for a game of Mornington Crescent?
