Humphrey Lyttelton (Series 9, Episode 5)

​

Episode 2: Paris Studios, London. Willie's 50th appearance. The teams are asked to censor of medley of songs in 'Censored Songs'.  'Just a Minim' played for the first time. 
Episode 3: Humph's 75th appearance. 'Mornington Crescent' was discussed rather than played, as a listener sent in a problem.
