The Antidote to Panel Games

Return to Homepage

This is a very popular programme with Theosophists. The show is introduced as "The Antidote to Panel Games" and consists of a panel of four comedians, split into two teams and "given silly things to do" by a chairman. The programme was first aired on April 11^th 1972 and the signature tune is a cabaret version of Deutschland Uber Alles called "The Schickel Shamble" written by Ron Goodwin.

You can catch this show and Mrs Trellis of North Wales regularly on BBC Radio 4 and the World Service. Some old episodes are run on BBC 7 (Digital Radio). The show tours the country and you may be able to get in as part of the studio audience.

I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue was held in Cardiff on December 21^st 1998 opening with the customary letter from Mrs Trellis of North Wales

Mrs Trellis’s letter was introduced by Humphrey Lyttelton

...but first I notice from the bulge in our postbag this week, that

another card has flooded in from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales, with comments on her favourite show. She writes:

Dear Mr. Duggleby,

Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great.

Yes, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great.

Does that Delia Smith do nothing else all day?

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Trellis

Cambridge

There was also a Samantha Pick up Line

To ensure that each panellist is allocated a suitable record, Samantha has spent a rewarding evening amongst the shelves down in the gramophone archive. As ever, her keen eye spotted a firm favourite or two, and she couldn't resist getting them down. She's ready and waiting at the turntable with her neatly arranged set of forty-fives on display and ready to spin for your delight.

Colin Sell was introduced at the start of the Censored Song Round;

Musical accompaniment will be provided by Colin Sell, who many listeners may remember from the 1970's, when he played the mouth organ in Black Lace. It's still known as one of the worst novelty drag acts ever to appear on Opportunity Knocks.

The show concluded with the Late Arrivals at the Driving Instructors’ Ball. The subject of the ball is announced near the start of the show and the participants work on their gags and present the Late Arrivals as a Grande Finale. The game has been played at Cardiff Theosophical Society Christmas parties except that participants (anyone who comes) are given about six weeks notice of the subject of the ball.
