I'm Sorry I Haven't a Humph

[tealin]

I must confess I've been sitting on this for a while but it's time to break the news to those who don't know already: Humphrey Lyttelton, jazz musician and comedian, died last Friday. In his 86 years he touched the lives of millions with his music and by being the inimitable host of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, which is arguably the best radio show ever. His passing leaves a gaping hole in my personal universe, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Enough dribble from me; the folks at the BBC are much more qualified to eulogize:

I'm so, so sad he died. I loved listening to I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue with my dad, and I will miss that immensely.

Thank you for those links, I'm going to have a good listen now.
