The chairman of one of the BBC's longest running and most successful games shows which was in fact the perfect antidote to panel games dies on Friday aged 84. Primarly known as the UK's finest Jazz trumpeter he took on the chairmanship of BBC Radio4's show I'm Sorry, I haven't a Clue with regular panelists Willy Rushton, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke Taylor and Barry Cryer when it was first aired back in the 70's. His dry wit and straight delivery made him one of the funniest men I have ever heard, and I for one shall miss him. He has has me in hysterical laughter for more years than I care to remember. Truly a giant in both sields he'ss be remembered for: Comedy and Music.

    Humph is sadly missed but I am sure that he would be pleased that I'm Sorry........ has returned. They are hot desking chairman. With Stephen Fry, Jack Dee and Rob Brydon sharing the honours.

    It was great to hear the first episode of the new series.
