Barry Cryer, comedian and writer who was the cornerstone of the hit radio show I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue for half a century – obituary
who has died aged 86, was one of Britain’s most talented comedy scriptwriters, a calling he successfully matched with appearances on television and radio panel games, most notably Radio 4’s anarchic weekly show I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue.

With his trademark shock of white hair, bulbous nose and ferocious eyebrows, Cryer later returned to the microphone, and as well as his radio dates had become a popular after-dinner speaker and regular pundit on the business of being funny.
