In the late 1960s there was a radio show on the BBC called I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again (also known as ISIRTA). When this show came to an end, a couple of the people who had taken part in (and written) the show decided that there must be an even easier way to earn money 
Their idea was a show like ISIRTA but without a script (after all, that was the most time consuming part of making the show).
To their surprise, the idea was accepted and a test programme was recorded. This test went down so well that they decided to recruit a chairman of a suitable calibre – the legendary jazz musician Humphrey Lyttelton – and record a real series called “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue”.
38 years later, Humph is sadly no longer with us (he died on 25 April 2008 aged 86), but the show is still going strong.
It is a mixture of sophisticated humour, nonsense, double entendres and “music” with a following of all ages. At times difficult to follow – especially for those not completely at home with the language and particularly “English humour”.
The 56th series started this week – if you get a chance, do listen to BBC Radio 4 on Mondays.
; what I do know, is that it is freaking me out trying to build it 
None of them has homework from me for next week – why should I spoil a holiday? As always, they have homework for the next week at school; that means in this case, the next two weeks: and it is not double the homework – I don’t consider that they have double the time. I just think it is a pity that so many other teachers do manage to turn what is supposed to be a holiday into just another week of work.
