this is the antidote to panel shows.
it's not played competetively, the goal is to be funny. it rips off panel shows in the structure and ideas, but just plays silly games.
clue has now been running for over 30 years, is very popular and has won many awards.
the chairman is humphrey littleton, the jazz trumpeteer, and the panelists are graeme garden, tim brooke-taylor and barry cryer. willie rushton took the place of the fourth panelist until his death in 1996, and now his place is take by a guest in each show.
here are links to a few clips from the show:
a one-off joke round

a regular game based loosely on the game charades except with the teams talking as well. they must give a small sketch as a charade to their title.

meanwhile, you can listen to a repeat every week:
