I don’t quite know how to bring this. I normally announce the death of celebrities with a large amount of dry, almost uncalled-for humour.

Today, I won’t. It is with great sadness and regret that I announce the death of Humphrey Lyttleton. Typing those words sends a cold shiver up my spine.

For many years, I have been a fan of “I’m sorry I haven’t a Clue”. The Radio 4 Show, in which he chaired for decades. In fact, I happened to be listening to a random episode which appeared in my playlist earlier today, Humph’s dry wit and impeccable timing had me in fits all the way through it.

I was lucky enough to be able to attend a recording of ISIHAC back in November 2006. For whatever reason, I failed to document it clearly on this blog, but it was without doubt one of the best nights I’d had in my entire life.

I can’t possibly begin to put into words what I’m feeling at the minute.

RIP Humph.
