I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue-The Complete Mrs Trellis (1990-2007)

- Mrs Trellis of North Wales made her first 'appearance' on ISIHAC during Series 17 in 1990. There was a long gap before she 'appeared' again, in Series 22 (1993). But from that moment on, pretty much every game of Mornington Crescent was preceded by "slightly less than two letters" from that particular Welsh correspendent.
This is an exhaustive (but I hope not exhausting) compilation of every single one of thuse nutty missives by the fragrant Mrs Trellis for your delight and delectation, read by the late, great Humphrey Lyttelton.
A Golden Era. Such a privilege to have had such wonderful stuff to listen to on the radio.
"The show without Tim is like Hamlet without the balcony scene": sadly now, all too true. But I did have the immense privilege of being in the audience in Huddersfield in March for his last recording.
That's a lovely memory!
:(
How wonderful!
@@tereasia It was also the last two episodes Iain Pattinson wrote for, so it was a very very special occasion.
Dear ned
I can see from the bell in the top-right corner that I've received an unprecedented number of RUclips notifications, and it's a video about Mrs. Trellis.
"buttock-clenchingly piss poor" was never in my vocabulary until I heard Humph use it.
It has never left my vernacular since.
As it should be.
Very good! More credit should go to Jon Naismith and Iain Pattinson whose scripted material has made this the best radio comedy ever.
Well said, Sir!
Especially that address.

'Dear Mr Tarrant, is it true that in Japan you are known as Mr Rack of Tarrant?' That one took me a few moments to work out! / What a great treat to hear all of these again. Thanks. / And on with the game!
RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor.
I just love hearing Barry’s chortle and so lovely to hear Willie and Tim’s chuckles too. That limerick with the ough endings was fantastic! Thanks Mark for posting this and great job compiling. 👍🏻
Thankyou for your kind comments, Alex - it was a labour of love.
This is wonderful to listen to - thanks!
You're welcome, thankyou!
I love the way the audience reacts as soon as her name is mentioned 😁
Wait a minute, there's a bulge in my 'in tray' - oh, it's a letter from Mrs Trellis of North Wales. It reads - Dear Mr Clarkson, I understand you are currently filming a TV programme while driving through small towns in South Wales. - Remember drive Caerphilly. Yours sincerely Mrs Trellis, North Wales.
Amazing compilation! Hats off to you! I went to see ISIHAC live in Torquay earlier this year and it was truly wonderful.
Thankyou for that! Labours of love, and I'm glad so many people are enjoying them. I saw Clue years ago in Hastings and, yes, it was great!
I vividly remember discovering this show on a tiny short wave radio in the early 80s. I was pretty confused by it for a while... in between the shipping forecasts and english language programs from authoritarian countries lived an oasis of gleeful silliness. Half the time i didn't understand the references. Education and travel and experience have filled in the blanks as i've remained a fan. Sometimes it has gotten tired, definitely struggled at times after Littleton's passing. But it's a wonderful thing, a place where relatively wholesome examplars of english middle class culture sit around and make funny.
Glad you found it Ken and it’s pleasing to share one of the last little bits of sanity in this otherwise insane world.
Thank you so much Mark as I work my way through these posts.
I have the book of Humph's introductions to the various places visited, and never tire of reading it.
The 'Lionel Blair' is superb and you did a great job pulling it off 👍🏻
I used to take my holidays in North Wales . I never met Mrs Trellis . I missed out .
She saw you coming...
@@gijgij4541She certainly did. I had a gun .
@spmoran4703 sorry I thought he meant coming in the biblical sense. You can imagine I'm about as relieved as I thought you were
I discovered this program on the radio national broadcaster in Melbourne Australia when i worked night shift. Absolute comedy gold. Humph and Graham plus the bloke who couldn't sing to save his life who's name eludes me are my favourites. It took me some time to get mornington Crescent.
You get Mornington Crescent? Ooh, please share! The chap's name was Jeremy Hardy, sadly no longer with us.
Linda Smith rip was also a gifted singer as I recall!
"Tits like coconuts . . . but sparrows prefer breadcrumbs"
That line always creases me!
Dear DailyMotion
Your videos were no help at all with my constipation

Simply? Wonderful. Thank you.
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant - I love the audience anticipation and appreciation!
I'm from Prestatyn and I've never seen this busybody around town.
When passing through North Wales and encountering the sign for your town, I always wondered why I should.
Again, This had me dying, as I had not picked up on this particular constant reference to Mrs Trellis. Superb series of jokes from Humph. What a genius he was. The bus stop joke was incredible.
Yes Mrs Trellis was a fan just that her letters were obviously misdirected and dropped into the ISIHAC in tray ; Humph was always the gentleman and replied as appropriate 😉 so sad now that Tim has died will miss his participation sometimes sending me into fits of apoplectic guffaws. Thank you for posting
Dear Boris, thanking you for listening to the best moments from Cash in the Attic. Yours sincerely, Mrs Trellis.
Mark Campbell ; thank you Mrs T. Although never in my life did I think I would be congratulated by Mick Jagger for achieving anything
The Complete Hamish and Dougal in the offing?
Oooh, there's an idea...!
Thank you for all of your ISIHC uploads - I must have listened to nearly all of them!
Glad to provide so much enjoyment in these strange times!
Not just a bit more than all of them??
@@josephinebennington7247 Hello - I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand your post. Although I can say that of the ones I have listened to - being less than the total number available to listen to - I have heard some of them more than once.
It’s a play on Humph’s frequent numerical allusion to “slightly less than 2 post cards” and your “I must have listened....”.
@@josephinebennington7247 Of course! Sorry, bit slow at the moment - I blame being stuck in the house for 7 weeks....
Thank you for uploading, I really enjoyed this ☺️
A joy to come across these compilations, thank you so much
Hey, thankyou for your lovely comment! Glad you are enjoying them. :-)
The pigeonhole at abt 33min mark really made me chuckle. Thanks for compiling these.
What a wonderful man.
Why, thankyou very much. :-)
A letter as flooded in. Hilarious.
Thank you for uploading this.
You are very welcome!
Dear Mr York, - I was surprised you didn't turn up yesterday as your 4 teenage daughters were here waiting for you. I thought they said you were going to do some gardening by improving their forking skills. Yours sincerely Mrs Trellis. North Wales...
Beautiful
Jeremy Clarkson had The Stig for taking potshots at current news events.
Humph had Mrs Trellis
Did you know that Mrs Trellis was once caught knitting at the wheel while driving at 70mph on the M5? A police car drove up beside her, and a policeman rolled down his window and shouted "Pull over!". "No," shouted back Mrs Trellis. "Turtle-neck sweater." True story.
Canadian here. Been listening to Isihac for years. I had always thought that like Colin Sell Mornington Crescent was fake.
Sadly, I learned the truth when I read about the tributes to Humph that were left at Mornington Crescent.
Nice to have you on board, Cameron!
“Stupid old bat...”
No-one could get away with it like Humph.
The Rhyl inspector Hound. The Wireless College became the wireless collage. No offence.
I think Mrs Trellis is mad .
The old bat is stark raving bonkers.
Angry?
Dear Sir Topham Hatt,
I have attached an application form for you to fill in.
