- PART TWO
Pianist Colin Sell has been the thorn in Humphrey Lyttelton's side since the programme started, but it was only from Season 17 onwards that 'proper' jokes began to be written about him, often describing his career outside of ISIHAC.
Please note that I have not included the deliberately interminable explanations of "One Song to the Tune of Another" that always lead up to Colin being the punchline. Two reasons: one) it would have doubled the length of this already long compilation, and two) the jokes weren't really 'about' Colin, he was just the punchline.
Enjoy!
The script and the presentation are glorious. No comedy exists today that makes me laugh like it has with this show since the 70s.
Indeed! While still funny, ISIHAC is these days a shadow of its former self.
Listened to this show for years . Always brilliant.
Thank you so much for this. It's not often one laughs more or less continuously for half an hour.
These are absolutely brilliant, so funny, I can't stand up for laughing. I've heard many of these in the original programmes but as a compilation they really bring home the humour, with Humph's deadpan delivery. . ISIHAC = fantastic programmes.
Thankyou so much for your lovely comments. It was a labour of love compiling these, so it's great that people are enjoying them!
My favourite was very simple: “despite the musical nature of this round, Colin Sell will be providing accompaniment on the piano”.
Classic! Thanks for uploading.
Thanks!
Thank you for uploading.
You are very welcome!
and now Colin Sell the Piano - do you mean Colin Sell on the Piano? - No it was an instruction, not an intro
Monday May 4th, 6.30 pm Radio 4, ISIHAC tribute to Tim folks, Don't miss it.
Good call!
love the Tim attempt to correct Humphs script mis-reading loosing the roasting on that weeks show !
I was lured here by Samantha and Lionel Blair , how did they get away with it on Radio 4 at Sunday lunch times, Thanks Mark, now a subscriber ,love radio comedy but will check out your .short films etc .
Thankyou so much for the kind words.
One of the writers said they got away with so much because Humph wouldn’t say it like a joke, he’d say it completely seriously and people would just sssume they’d misheard him or something 😂
I love ISIHAC. I've listened to it for years. It's gloriously silly - rather like a radio version of pantomime. So many of the old troupers have died, but there are plenty of good talents coming up to replace them so I can see it continuing for many more years yet.
True, but it will never be as good without Humph, TBT, Willie Rushton etc...
@@markcampbell8950 No, I agree. They were one-offs and totally irreplaceable.
I disagree. I was sure they'd never be able to replace Humph, but Jack Dee has proven to be excellent. Willie and Tim were brilliant, as was Barry, but plenty of the new people are also excellent in their own way. I never understand why people always feel the need to compare such things. The old stuff was great, the new stuff is great. Who cares if one scores 99 out of a hundred when the other scores 98?@@markcampbell8950
So brilliant......
Mark is there a complete humph introductions audio?
You mean where he made various disparaging comments about the places they recorded in? Not that I know of. I haven't done one!
Mark Campbell doh
Mark Campbell Mark I want you to step up to the plate now come on you must complete the circle
@@Growler57 Fat chance! :-)
Poor Colin!
Ah, he loves the attention!
Any compilations of intros to one song to tune of another ?
I did think about that....perhaps. They're so much work! Watch this space - or subscribe! :-)
@@markcampbell8950please do it! Even just the best ones
