I'm decades late to the party, but thank you for posting this era of ISIHAC. Ive been having a depressing, worrisome week-- and I found this small collection that made me laugh out loud. Thank you!
Still have very treasured memories of listening to this as a child on a Saturday morning in the car on CD with my Dad on the way to one of our adventures (we would always do dad and daughter day on a Saturday). I sometimes wouldn’t get the more racey/rude jokes but still thought it was totally hilarious! Now all grown up I understand all the jokes and it’s still as funny as ever. Thankyou so much for uploading. A blast from my past with huge beautiful memories attached that has kept me going through Covid!
Like you I listened when I didn't get the subversive humour... but loved it anyway. It makes it even more glorious to listen and get the naughtiness! They couldn't get away with it these days.... which is damning as it was all humour.
I'm here thanks to the fine comedic taste of a father too. We must've listened to his cassette tapes over and over. Everything from the intro music to the outstanding wit is filled with nostalgia, and picturing my dad laughing at it makes it worth the repeat listens. But luckily for me, and us, it's also just hilarious.
A show I never missed and my husband would rush back from work to hear it it will never be the same without Humph but still the best comedy on the radio .The only comedy I should add .
Wonderful! The greatest radio comedy show ever devised. I have nearly all the shows on tape but the sound here is far superior, you can actually hear the ice cubes floating in Barry’s whisky.
I remember the team being asked for famous people's first words. Willy Rushton said Mr Macdonald looked in his nappy and said, "That gives me an idea!"
The first ISIHAC I heard was in 1973, the panellists had to complete a rhyme that started "Ahoy ahead, a vast behind, we're going to catch that lugger....?". Thank you for 47 years of wonderful comedy.
This is just so wonderful. I am having an evening of listening to celebrate the wonderful life of Barry Cryer. Was so sad to hear of his death today. To find this, laugh, chuckle and smirk at the subversive humour is just a joy. Thank you for saving this for posterity!
I live abroad, and this programme is such a wonderfully comforting reminder of all the things that I love and miss about the UK and its humour. Superb.
Thanks for sharing. I'm late to ISIHAC. Great company for traffic on a Monday evening. Jack Dee brilliant, thanks for the much missed Humph. Also RIP Tim B-T.
One episode has more genuine laughs than the whole contemporary out put of BBC 3.Bless you for posting.Throughout my life I’ve never had so consistent pleasure for thirty minutes that wasn’t in bed.
Okay, I've started on Jack Dee, let's see how this Humph does... review is in... Humph was an amazing grand master to this show. Swanee kazoo is the BEST!! Now I see why both Graeme and Tony end up slipping a "deviation" into the Unbelievable Truth shows they are on.😂 I don't care what anyone says, Tony Hawks has a terrific voice🎵🎶
To be honest I’m not sure if I can play Morden coming off Regent Street in the Original Modern Rules. I know I can in the Original Ancient Rules, and it’s a favourite move of mine, but is it valid in the Modern rules or am I in nid?
@@RBenjo21 As per the 3rd edition (codified in the 1923 Helsinki championships) it is a valid move, unconventional in modern play, but perfectly within the rules.
I was pretty worried with the early consecutive WC play of Leicester Square from Graeme. I always root for him but that was a silly mistake to make. He nearly ended up in Knip, but thankfully Tim didn't see it and went for north Wembley. Had he gone Wembley central it would have been a disaster.
Actually I think Jack was an inspired replacement. He's different from Humph, but shares the misanthropy appropriate to the format. Stephen Fry was tried out, but was hopeless. Early Humph was not nearly as good, and he slowly built the act over the years. Let's hope Jack does the same.
Half wits are still better than the witless other so called comedies and crap on tv, wall to wall cooking shows,morning & afternoon shows played at prime time evening slots, like they swore they never would. Dancing crap, and sob story repair shows with everyone stood around trying their best to look welling up with sorrow at someones private and personal pain brought on show for emotional vampires and recreational mourners to feast on. The Repair Shop was at least a good and interesting show when it began but they turned it into a competition to see who had the most heart string pulling story , people who so treasured their possessions they left them upstairs in the attic or in a damp garage to rot and fall apart, then they pull them out on discovering this show and their they are holding out something most folk would have binned and teary eyed and choked voices explaining a story behind it and the repairers looking sad and gumphed up like only pro funeral directors can, saying with as much sincerity as they can force out " I'm sorry for your loss" ( even tho the person whose dead oft times died 50 years ago or sometime like that..) or " l feel your pain" and you can guarantee 3 months after saying that they will have totally forgotten the people they met, its sickening really. So even the substitutes in I'm sorry are a much welcomed relief to all the fake sentiment and terrible shows now forced as entertainment just one idea done ad nauseum instead of good scripted dramas and comedies with actors
Which one laughs like an asthmatic duck at anything remotely funny, and slightly out of sync with the others, as if he was keen to be heard? I'm almost an ISIHAC addict, and that's the one thing I can think of that keeps me from bingeing on the episodes, so I'm grateful, just wondering.

You're welcome. I used to listen to Clue as a nipper too, always brought a smile to my miserable teenage face. Still the funniest show on radio.

Thanks for sending these - ISIHAC episodes are one of the things that have kept me somewhat sane these last few months
Me too. And my imaginary friends agree.

That's more likely to be his teeth floating in his lager.
@@doctorcraptonicus7941lol😂
Just brilliant!
Thank you mark.my favourite show ever.brilliant.
I remember the team being asked for famous people's first words. Willy Rushton said Mr Macdonald looked in his nappy and said, "That gives me an idea!"
How talented are all these people .
Some of the best and fun filled funnyness times listening to these on the radio .humph what a voice of joy
The first ISIHAC I heard was in 1973, the panellists had to complete a rhyme that started "Ahoy ahead, a vast behind, we're going to catch that lugger....?". Thank you for 47 years of wonderful comedy.
*avast behind
Ahoy ahead avast behind
Were going to catch that lugger
Shiver me timbers it was so easy
We couldn't be any smugger. 😊
God, I miss those two!
It's 4.30am here in Paris and I've been on a Barry Cryer binge since yesterday afternoon. Many many thanks for posting these.
This is just so wonderful. I am having an evening of listening to celebrate the wonderful life of Barry Cryer. Was so sad to hear of his death today. To find this, laugh, chuckle and smirk at the subversive humour is just a joy. Thank you for saving this for posterity!
I'm sorry I haven't heard from Humphrey for so long, sadly missed. Top man Mark, thanks for this upload.

Andy Hamilton was one of the very best guests on this show.
Brought back to a genuinely hilarious classic panel show following the sad demise of Mock the Week. With love from Worcestershire.
So funny wish they were still here😂
Thank you for posting this
In its heyday, absolutely brilliant with the tncomparable Humph
Brilliant.5 men in a pub having a blast.
2:01:40 - one of my all time favourite bits. Thank you!

Just think, you can listen to it in bed. How much pleasure can you take?

Joyous!

Love this show Share Share Share

Tim, Humph, Willie RIP
Jeremy...
Barry 😢
@@lauraforrester2910 he's still alive
Sadly only Graeme survives now.
He's too frail to be in them now.
The travellings too much for him I'm afraid.
Am I the only one who fast-forwards over the singing ?
I do sometimes, if I'm binging it for hours.
I like it. Miles Jupp singing I tawt I taw a putty tat to the tune of Hallelujah had me in hysterics.
Okay, I've started on Jack Dee, let's see how this Humph does... review is in... Humph was an amazing grand master to this show.
Swanee kazoo is the BEST!!
Now I see why both Graeme and Tony end up slipping a "deviation" into the Unbelievable Truth shows they are on.😂 I don't care what anyone says, Tony Hawks has a terrific voice🎵🎶
Down votes from people who don't know the rules to Mornington Crescent.
Or believe they know them!
Mornington Crescent has RULES???
To be honest I’m not sure if I can play Morden coming off Regent Street in the Original Modern Rules. I know I can in the Original Ancient Rules, and it’s a favourite move of mine, but is it valid in the Modern rules or am I in nid?

Jack Dee is alright but you just can’t beat Humph.
Now that Tim has sadly gone and joined Willie and Humph I’m not sure it will be the same.
it's not hump was a comic genius, he showed the rest of the comedians, how its done
Actually I think Jack was an inspired replacement. He's different from Humph, but shares the misanthropy appropriate to the format. Stephen Fry was tried out, but was hopeless. Early Humph was not nearly as good, and he slowly built the act over the years. Let's hope Jack does the same.
@@dabedwards I agree completely. Jack was an inspired choice. I’d thought that Humph would be irreplaceable
Agree. Dee was a good replacement, given that a replacement was possible. I have been listening to this nearly all my life.
Who would make the list for new, potential inductees?
Humph well a diamond ♦️? How they got away with that on the posh radio ? God knows ? !
Just doesn’t work today for me. It was a magic chemistry that cannot be replaced
We used to have wits, nowadays we only have half.
Half wits are still better than the witless other so called comedies and crap on tv, wall to wall cooking shows,morning & afternoon shows played at prime time evening slots, like they swore they never would.
Dancing crap, and sob story repair shows with everyone stood around trying their best to look welling up with sorrow at someones private and personal pain brought on show for emotional vampires and recreational mourners to feast on.

Barry Cryer, his laugh is for me very much a part of the hilarity!
