- During Slapstick 2020, the I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue team gathered in Bristol for an event celebrating the legacy of Britain’s best-loved radio panel game show.
At the time, we had no idea that the world was about to become engulfed in a global pandemic; or that we would soon lose one of our most popular festival attendees, the lovely Tim Brooke-Taylor, shortly after.
This event was the very last time Tim performed with his old playmates, Graeme and Barry. - Komedie
RIP Tim and Barry and thanks for all the laughs
One of the funniest moments that sticks in my mind is Tim and Willie as the Queen and Princess Margaret singing 'Sisters'.
I saw your comment, fished out the relevant CD and listened to them - absolutely hilarious! Thanks so much for prompting such a happy memory!! "Us are well, thank you" !!!
Or will singing the laughing policeman to the tune of As time goes by
Yes, that was wonderful! And Tim as The Queen singing 'We do like to be beside the seaside.' Ending with 'Oh, look, Philip, JELLIED EELS!'
The first time I heard Rob Brydon on Clue, his singing and precision were such a jaw-dropping revelation. The reaction of the team was priceless. "He's no Jeremy Hardy"
Do you remember Rob's duet with Jeremy, singing "Please Release Me"?
The day I fail to laugh out loud at Jeremy's, "Listen and learn, Rob!" will be another very sad one.
@@arthurpewtey Thank you - you made me laugh just remembering it!
What a shame we had to lose Tim when he was far from finished. Heart breaking.
I was in the audience in Huddersfield for his last recording. It was also the last two shows that Iain Pattison wrote for. What an absolute privilege.
Farewell, Baz.
His cackling laugh was always validation that a new guest was doing well!
'cackling' - a perfect description! God, we'll miss that...
When Barry tells the football joke near the end, Tim’s laugh is so genuine. You just know that they all loved making each other laugh and we were merely lucky spectators/listeners. Even listening to some of the old Clue shows with Willie, the raucous laughter from Tim or Barry is enough to make you laugh on its own. It was sad when Willie Rushton passed away and even sadder when Humph passed too.
Losing Tim and now Barry is almost too much to bear. I would understand if Graeme wanted to pass on the reigns but it just won’t be the same again.
As the guys have said, Jack Dee has done a fine job of taking over as host and when it was one new guest each week filling the void left by Willie, the show was able to keep its magic going.
To me, ISIHAC will forever be Tim, Willie, Barry, Graeme and Humph, with Colin Sell setting some rounds to music.
Thank you to them all and everyone who has been on the show during the years. The laughs and tears are priceless.
Well said-my wife and I have followed the show for years and been to many venues to watch the recordings being made. I STILL HAVE OVER100SHOWS ON CD IN THE CAR. Those guys still have such ability to make us laugh,RIP
Warm, fuzzy, funny and sad all at once. Hope Graeme is doing well. I always thought he was one of the sharpest.
I was in the audience in Huddersfield for Tim's last recording. It was also the last two shows that Iain Pattison wrote for. What an absolute privilege.
And now we lose Barry Cryer...the man who was ALWAYS OLD! Loved him!
And now Colin Sell, the piano. That's not an introduction, it's an instruction...
I had the pleasure of meeting Tim at a couple of Clue shows and he could not have been nicer.
Me too . Tim was really nice as you say
It was a pleasure to be there, a wonderful night. I couldn’t believe it when Tim died so soon after. And now Barry too.
Sad to think Tim and Barry are no longer with us. I was at this show up in the gods. nice to see it close up.
One episode that always sticks in my mind is the 'Late Arrivals Game.' I was about 15 and nearly choked when Graeme Garden announced a late arrival at the Anglers' Ball . . . "Pray silence for Mr & Mrs Bigguns-Lately, and their son Courtney!" Still at school, I had to be home for lunch each Thursday, at precisely 12:27!
I laughed so much at this! RIP Tim, Barry and so many other stalwarts of 'Clue.' Never forgotten.
RIP Tim... RIP Barry....
Totally wonderful. Thankyou for making me laugh through all the dark times god bless you all
Such a lovely group of talented performers. RIP Barry & Tim. You’re sorely missed.
Excellent that Rob 👍
Much missed Tim and now Barry's gone, bless you both.
Bridge over troubled water to the tune of Postman Pat, unforgettable 😂😂
😂😂👍
Even better was the Postman Pat lyrics paired with the music from The Toreador Song.
@@graemestarkey7524 Oh thanks a real bunch for *that* Graeme.
I *didn't* hear that episode.
And now I'm straining my 'mind's ear' to figure out / imagine how that would have sounded.
Saw Barry and Willie in their show at the Theatre Royal Newcastle. Brilliant.
What a lovely gathering this is now it's 2023. These guys brightened my childhood no end as my parents always put on the radio on a Sunday lunchtime for Clue.
"The best thing that could be said about Willy Rushton was that he DID suffer fools gladly"
Not my words, but oh! - so apposite!
He ran into me in London, once a long time ago - a better laughter maker than he was a driver.
loved the show for 35 years of my 53. An tribute to all the great talents.
And now Barry too, legends of comedy!
Joyous. Joyous silliness. Thank you.
Imagine having to follow that. Wonderful fun. Thanks boys.
Brilliant and as this generation of National 'nutcases' go to the comedy shows in the sky its such a sad loss ......RIP , Tim & Barry......
This is British through and through. No other country delivers humorous entertainment like they do.
You may be right but when people make comments like yours I always have to ask myself how do they know?
@@mikelheron20 Well obviously it is a subjective response.
Simply priceless. Rest easy Tim and Barry.😢
Absolutely delightful to see them all together one more time. The memories, the joy, the love, the talent! 🌟❤️
Thanks ever so much!
I grew up like Rob watching the Goodies. Contrary to the UK, the CBC showed them every weekday at 5pm for a few years so I got to see most classic episodes a few times. An amazing combination of cheeky, naughty and always very smart, slapstick and satire.
(Especially “The End”! Remember “I’m a teapot!” and the “Brighton to Birkenhead freeway” gag.)
I swear this show was 50% of all the cassettes in motorway service stations. Long after they stopped putting tape decks in cars. National treasures, sadly missed.
The warmth of nostalgia welling up as I watch this only wants for the years of listening back to hear it all again. Rob's Spiderman rendition is Amazing.
So lovely to see the originals in all their pomp....Tim and Barry will be sorley missed,but thanks for the last forty odd years, lads😁
We need so much to smile and be happy about these days. This does it for me, though with gut wrenching sadness we won't see Tim, Barry, Willy, Humph and so many others perform again in their element. No more from Iain Pattinson an unsung hero of the programme. May ISIHAC continue as long as possible. Even after nearly 50 years it still has spark and energy, even if many of stalwarts can no longer participate. They can still just look down from on high and say with pride "I was part of that".
At least we do have a wealth recordings to listen to, not just ISIHAC, but Hello Cheeky, ISIRTA (just old enough to have been allowed to listen to the originals, I still sing along with the theme tune every time I hear it), the Goodies, Hamish and Dougal, Unbelievable Truth. Thanks to all those responsible for creating the programs in the first place, for those uploading the clips, thanks to the BBC for taking chances (probably only possible because of their unique funding).
It's a shame there are so many people who seem to live without any humour in their lives. They don't know what they are missing.
Jacob Rees-Mogg. Damn Barry, so bloody quick. You were, and will always be, an absolute legend.
Wonderful stuff. RIP Tim & Baz - thanks for all the laughs.
rip barry cryer, you gave us tears, but of laughter
Genius! Sheer genius!!!
so glad I found this. Fan of the show for years. Samantha was looking particularly feltching.
Fabulous!
Makes me cry to think we've lost Tim and Barry - they should have had a preservation order on them: old age is cruel - the end of it worse.
His name was
Tim. Brooke-Taylor
But such was the man and his fame, we all know him as
TimBrooke Taylor
"I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again". I remember it well: Professor Prune and his electric time trousers. How they came up with such stuff is still beyond me. Up a 4am every Sunday as a teenager to help on a milk round. Back home for Sunday lunch, then back to bed at 2pm, listen to ISIRTA, then off to sleep still smiling or laughing. ISIRTA, Round the Horn and The Goon Show were my favourites. Many of these marvellously talented people are dead now, but how they entertained me.
Brilliant, wonderful comedy.
Brilliant... just brilliant...
Wonderful. Shame their microphones keep distorting at the start.
Such a joy...
55.30. What a great story. Thanks baz.
❤ That's all I need to say I think. Thankyou to all for making me laugh until I cried.
I miss Timbrook.
Gotta love the way they still pretend it isn't scripted
and now another 2 originals have died and will be sorely missed.
I'm glad Barry was able to so succinctly explain what Mornington Crescent was all about! 😂
I saw the Clue tour in 2020, before the pandemic struck, with Tim on great form, as was Jack Dee, Tony Hawks, and Colin Sell and Jon Naismith. It was great. 🙂 I like Clue a lot. All the audience were given kazoos.
Just the first few minutes had me in tears. Can't watch it all at once.😭
It seems to be contagious.
tears in my eyes laughing. :-)
Rip Tim Brooke Taylor and Barry quire
Call security!!!!
I adore Samantha jokes!
I don't blame Samantha. I rather like tongue in cider too. No need to complain about Samantha , there is Sven too
😂 😂
The ever-rippling Sven ♥️😀
41:40 "It's a Mrs Trellis of North Wales."
RIP Tim and Barry.
I'm glad the man, not from Bristol asked the Lionel Blair question. 🤭
Graeme spelt Graeme always reminds me of a Swedish football commentator I once heard calling a British footballer Gramy. (It may have been Souness or Le Saux or it may have been neither of them.) The stupid thing was that he was in England at a football stadium full of native English speakers. The thought of asking one of them apparently never occurred to him.
no mention of Mrs Trellis of North Wales
I liked the parrot joke, subverted nicely by Hamish and Dougal
Somewhere in the stack here @highdownmartin (said) Baryy Cryer siad "Dissecting comedy is like dissecting a frog. Nobody laughs and the frog dies. "
I have to tell you from first hand observation that was one of the few things Barry Cryer got absolutley wrong.
Back in the late 70s I did an OU course on Physiological Psycholgy.
It had been decided by the course managers that during the summer school, to get the ambience of a real University Lab, the students should not only do some genuinely interesting work using various forms of electrical stimulation on the spinal nerve and leg musculature disected from a Frog, they should disect these out for themselves.
(Only to seem like proper scientists you weren't supposed to call it a Frog - It was 'the preparation').
Where it started to go wrong was there had been a slight failure of 'audience research'. Some of the students were quietly competent.
Something in the region of 50% to 70% were anywhere from squeamishly nervous to outright horrified/terrified.
The approved method of humane killing is to hold the Frog with its belly against your palm, its head protruding 5 or 6 cm beyond the back your metacarpal (the finger bone nearest your palm), then rap the Frog's head hard on the edge of the lab bench to stun it. Whilst its unconscious, slip one blade of a pair of large sharp scissiors right to the back of its mouth angled toward the other blade which is positioned behind its head at the top of the spinal cord.
A firm snip and a relatively humane kill. (If you don't agree, watch how fish are gutted alive on trawlers & go vegan).
The spinal cord can then be disected out quite easily, it being relatively large and not encased in bone.
I did mention lack of audience research ..........
Some refused outright and fair enough.
Others - Have you ever witnessed a martial Arts expert psych-up to smash a stack of bricks with their first or head?
A scream of focus heralded the flight of several bewildered 'preparations' which flew through the air to hit other students.
A different sort of scream heralded the impact of kuckles as students closed their eyes to slam fists rather than frogs into the lab tops leaving dazed amphibia to stagger off along the benches.
It was a long time ago, but that spontaneous farce is one of my life's treasured memories. Truthfully, perhaps a tad macrbre *but* it was *Funny* .
Terrific evening - with bloody awful sound quality. Shame.
Is Bill Tim and Greame still with us ???? I pray so 🙏 How about Montry python and I'll read it again
Sad that Willy Ruston couldn’t survive to be there.
Rushton. Sorry.
If Graeme Garden had to invent games for ISIHAC, does that mean Graeme Garden invented Improv???
50:45 The first record I ever bought was My Old Man's A Dustman by Lonnie Donegan. I think it cost me 7s 6d.
To the lady that complained. You are you to tell other people what they are allowed to find amusing and laugh at? The are many many shows and channels on tv and radio, I can’t stand ‘Love Island’ and there are many things about it I don’t agree with. So, I just don’t watch it. Who am I to tell other people they must be brain dead morons too watch it. They can have their fun and I will have mine.
I don't even listen to most of their radio shows. Only familiar to Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden.
Watching this is a bit upsetting. I'm in that state of adoring them and joy but the fact that some of them are gone stayed in the back of my head.
Rob Brydon is consistently more annoying than entertaining.
He is occasionally funny, but not nearly as much as he obviously considers himself to be.
Not as funny as it could have been.
Cos I'm sorry I haven't a clue...
I think you're absolutely right - YOU *really* haven't.
All these comedians/comedy writers are from a bygone age. They're dying off and will soon all be forgotten. These days, people's attitudes, especially young peoples' are changing and comedy or the sense of humour is losing its appeal.
Alas there is no comedy any more, just shouty, clueless smut.
I completely disagree with you. The British are still leading the world with quality acts. Different, yes, but no less imaginative or inventive.
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. As it happens, Barry disagreed with you: czcams.com/video/UOwVRXu7-lk/video.html (17:11 into video)
@@kingy002 Tks for your opinion - clearly the persons in the video made you laugh but they don't make me laugh!
In this instance, it seems what makes people laugh is a subjective thing and people generally laugh at different things. Why then should people like these be awarded contracts to write scripts when not everybody finds their humour amusing?
Why shoul;d television programmes be made and audience laughter added to prompt the viewer to laugh?
Clearly something is wrong.
I rarely see people laugh or even smile these days in my everyday life. I think itt's because a lot of people are realising how unfunny their misery is as well as other people's misery!!
@@kathish I couldn't care what Barry Cryer says, he represents a gullible past, people today don't want false laughter.
