Recently there were a few articles about the "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" cast (including Tim & Graeme) wanting to take the show on tour.  Here are a few representative examples: http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2007/02/18/5026/clueless and http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_

pointing out the Mail on Sunday piece).

A new article appeared on Chortle today (at http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2007/02/21/5038/bbc_gives_them_a_clue) saying the following:

BBC gives them a Clue

Radio show to tour after dispute settled

The team behind I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue will now go on tour - after the BBC relented about the use of the name.

Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer and Humphrey Lyttelton had been told they couldn't perform the tour commercially because the corporation owned the rights.

However, after Cryer spoke out about his disappointment, the corporation has now struck a deal to allow the show on the road.

A Radio 4 spokesman said: 'We're pleased to confirm that the I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue team are able to go on tour under the banner of the Clue name.

'We have been talking about how to make this happen for some time and are delighted at the positive result.'

Cryer had accused the corporation of being 'bloody stingy' about the proposed tour.

The few radio recordings each year are an instant sell-out - and the team can now expect to sell thousands of tickets to live shows.

Obviously it is *much* too soon for there to be any specific dates. However, I'm sure the club will be sent the information when a tour is booked.
