Talk:Humphrey Lyttelton

message: This is the picture on the "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" page of the BBC website  (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/clue.shtml).  It is much better than the previous picture.  Let's swap! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweetalkinguy (talk • contribs) 17:55, 3 May 2006
* Yes, that sounds like a good idea to me! The other one is all blurry. Nick8325 19:27, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have heard it said (including by Humph) that his inspiration was Nat Gonella rather than Louis Armstrong.  Gonella was at his height in the 1930s, and is still remembered for Tiger Rag and the novelty number It ain't no sin to throw off your skin and dance around in your bones - much too risqué for the BBC.  I have also more commonly heard it said it was Louis, hence the edit to the article, but I have not checked further.  Guy 10:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This may be not be a page-discussion, but may God rest his soul. A gentleman who entertained many through the radio-programme.

message: Is it known whether Humph wrote Bad Penny Blues about an actual person, by any chance?
Guess: "Bad" Penny sounds as if it could be a humorous services(?) nickname for Penelope. GilesW (talk) 09:39, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who was "Bad" Penny? 

message: In the section 'Radio personality' there is mention of BBC pre-watershed humour.  Let it be noted that there is no watershead on Radio 4, nor was there in Humph's day.  'watershead' is actually linked to an article about the television watershead, which would seem to be indicative of some confusion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.10.146 (talk) 15:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

message: "...and hosted the comedy panel game I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue on Radio 4, becoming the UK's oldest panel game host."
The record is currently held by Nicholas Parsons who is still (in 2018) hosting Just a Minute at the age of 94. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 21:37, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oldest panel game host? 

message: This article says that Lyttelton hosted the comedy panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, but is this programme not meant to be the antidote to panel games? Vorbee (talk) 14:43, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Antidote to panel games

message: The Humph Trust has been an orphan since 2011. It's an obscure topic, and the logical place for it is in the Humphrey Lyttleton article.Vmavanti (talk) 15:28, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Weak oppose merge, in part because the history of trust (which folded in 2015) has a history after Lyttelton's death, and that history might be independently notable for its success and (ultimately) failure. I've linked the pages in the text, and perhaps that is sufficient (as per WP:SUMMARY). Klbrain (talk) 06:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
