===Panellists=== The regular panellists for much of the show's history were: *[[Graeme Garden]] was a member of the ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'' team from which the programme grew and has been a panellist since the first episode. Lyttelton described him as very dry, biding his time before stepping in with a perfect punchline.<ref name="tim barry graeme 4">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/clue/interviews/tim_barry_graeme_transcript4.shtml|title=Interview with Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Barry Cryer|publisher=[BBC]}}</ref> Garden was absent from January 2016 for the whole of series 65, 66 and 67.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07jyrdj|title=Episode 3, Series 65, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue β BBC Radio 4|website=BBC|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07h6qsp|title=Episode 1, Series 65, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue β BBC Radio 4|website=BBC|access-date=2016-07-07}}</ref><ref>{{cite tweet |last=Osman |first=Richard |author-link=Richard Osman |user=richardosman |number=750239581337944064 |date=2016-07-05 |title=Brilliant time last night with Barry Cryer @TheRealJackDee @sanditoksvigMiles Jupp and a wonderful Southend audiences for @ISIHAClue |access-date=2020-02-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.comedy.co.uk/radio/isihac/episodes/|title=British Comedy Guide|website=[[British Comedy Guide]] |access-date=2017-07-22}}</ref> On 12 October 2017, Garden announced that he would be rejoining the team,<ref>{{cite tweet |last=Garden |first=Graeme |author-link=Graeme Garden |user=GraemeGarden1 |number=918403886192513024 |date=2017-10-12 |title=Looking forward to joining the ISIHAC team at the Wycombe Swan Theatre next Monday 16th. It's been a while. |access-date=2020-02-09}}</ref> but has only appeared infrequently since then. Following the death of Barry Cryer, Garden is the last surviving original panellist. *[[Barry Cryer]] hosted six episodes in the show's first series before moving to a permanent seat on the panel. He was credited by then-chairman Lyttelton as being the show's "bricks and mortar", providing quick-fire one-liners in any situation.<ref name="tim barry graeme 4" /> There is a running joke in the programme that he is a dirty old man with a drink problem. He died aged 86 in January 2022.<ref name="people" /> *[[Tim Brooke-Taylor]] was also part of the ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'' team and was also with the show from the start until his death in April 2020. He was very popular with the crowd and adopted a vulnerable persona.<ref name="tim barry graeme 4" /> Garden and Brooke-Taylor had previously worked together on television in ''[[The Goodies (TV series)|The Goodies]]'' alongside Bill Oddie and Brooke-Taylor in particular would occasionally drop references to that show into some of the games, eliciting cheers from the audience. *[[Willie Rushton]] was one of the regular panel members from 1974 until his death in 1996. The other panellists have fond memories of his off-the-wall sense of humour and quick-fire puns.<ref name="people" /> Since Rushton's death his seat has been turned into a permanent guest spot, which was often filled by the late [[Jeremy Hardy]] when on non-broadcast tours. Guests have also appeared when one of the regulars was unavailable. *[[Tony Hawks]], after appearing as a guest for one recording a series for many series, started appearing in multiple recordings per series from series 80 onwards and became a semi-regular panellist of the show.
