The site was created to share facts and statistics about the show.  â€‹

There have been over 500 unique episodes of the show broadcast, including Christmas and Anniversary Specials, but not including Christmas Compilations or Specials about the show.

​​

Several of the surviving recordings are of a poor quality, having been recorded from FM radio in the 1970's and 1980's.​

​

This site is a work in progress.  As more shows are broadcast I will add the details to the relevant page.

​​

There are other sites about I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue that will give you details of how the show first came about.  There are (better) sites that will give you details of the next recordings, so I do not need to duplicate that.

​
