1980's

Information on every episode from the 1980's

I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue started the 1980's the same way they had ended the 1970's, with a Christmas Special.  It was the only new show broadcast that year.

​

​There were 82 episodes of the show broadcast during the 1980's.  Only Humph and Willie appeared in every episode.

 

Over those 82 episodes there were 138 different games played, 100 of them were new to the show.  Amongst those new games were show favourites 'Just a Minim' and 'Cheddar Gorge'.

 

Samantha made her debut during the 1980's, as did Stephen Fry and Bill Tidy.  Kenny Everett and Mike Harding would make their first and last appearances during this decade.

 

There were three producers during the decade, with Paul Mayhew-Archer producing 51 episodes.  His record would eventually be passed by Jon Naismith.
