Perhaps my favourite round is "Sound Charades", which led to the spin-off series, Hamish and Dougal
I just listened to some clips from that I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue. The humor reminds me of the kind of stuff you hear on My Word, also a BBC production that I hear occasionally on one of our local Public Broadcast Stations. When I do hear My Word, I always enjoy it, especially the hilarious stories the panel members concoct around a well-known quotation, saying, or proverb.
