List of games on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue
Summary
This is a list of games featured on BBC Radio 4's long-running "antidote to panel games", I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. Some are featured more frequently than others.
The host gives a line of a poem, and each panelist has to continue the poem, continuing to speak until a buzzer sounds, at which point it goes to the next panelist. Tim Brooke-Taylor is reported to have expressed a strong hatred for this game.
A song is played backwards, and the panelist has to guess what the song is.
Panellists attempt to sing a song perfectly in tune while Colin Sell plays wrong notes, changes key and changes tempo. The name is a play on The Well-Tempered Clavier, and the game is identical to an exercise used by the father of the composer Charles Ives to train his son. Points are deducted from players who attempt to sing with their fingers in both ears.
Each team has to improvise a blues song on a topic given by the other team, such as the "Trichologist's blues" or the "Kerry Packer blues". The songs invariably started with "I woke up this morning". The only exception was when one team had to sing the "I couldn't get to sleep last night blues".
A variation was to improvise a madrigal or a calypso. The calypsos invariably started with "I [something relating to the topic] the other day".
Panellists play a board game on the radio. It combines features of the UK edition of Monopoly, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Operation, Jenga, chess, and solitaire, among others.
A variation on the TV series Call My Bluff in which panellists all invent bluff definitions of words. However, unlike the original version, in which participants had to define obscure words, in the ISIHAC version, players had to define common words such as "porcupine". The winner was the "most convincing and least embarrassing".
Panelists, in teams of two, are given perfectly innocuous songs; the objective is to make the song as suggestive as possible by the strategic censoring (via a buzzer) of innocent words.
