The Antidote to Panel Games.
HUMPHREY LYTTELTON:
It's now time to play the game called Mornington Crescent. (audience cheer). I'm pleased to announce that today's game is being sponsored. This week the teams will be playing for the honour of lifting the Armitage Shanks Charity Bowl. We'd like to thank our sponsors for their generosity, and to assure them that the small alterations they requested to the Standard Game are unlikely to be noticed even by our listeners. Tim, you can start.

(Apologies to anyone unfamiliar with BBC Radio 4's "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" as all this will make little sense. Try to take comfort from the fact that it will make little sense to those who are familiar with it too.)
