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