List of Games On I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - Cheddar Gorge

Cheddar Gorge

The panellists take turns to say a word each, the ostensible object being to avoid completing a sentence: each word must leave the possibility of the sentence being completed in a grammatically correct and meaningful manner. When a grammatically correct sentence has been formed, the player who added the final word is eliminated. Play continues with the remaining players starting a new sentence. The last player left is the winner.

As is usually the case on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, the game is not played seriously. The sentence ending rule is largely ignored, and the end of the sentence is declared almost entirely arbitrarily by Humph sounding his horn. The sentences constructed are always long and unwieldy, and the panellists play for laughs on several levels. The sentences are often nonsensical, including as many silly turns of phrase as possible. If a panelist is stuck, they will often say "comma". During one game, guest panellist Bill Bailey received a laugh for using the phrase "Open brackets". The origin of the game's name is obscure; Humph often commenting that it clearly outlines the game's principles, and mentioning other games named after geographic features (or cheeses).

In recent series, the game has been replaced with Letter Writing. However, it was played by Jack Dee and Jeremy Hardy in the Christmas special Humph in Wonderland, and was resurrected in the second episode of series 55.
