A Conversation for I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - the Radio Series

Why the comma?

I've always known the show as I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue; the show's bbc homepage gives it a commaless title, the Radio Times lists the show's title sans comma, I receive e-mails from

Jon Naismith
Producer, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

and Humph's book, "It Just Occurred To Me...", has no mention of the show with a comma in its title. Moreover, Humph never pronounced the title of the show as if there were a comma in it (the comma creates a subtle difference in meaning between the two phrases.)

See post 22 (?) http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F60214?thread=6726578&skip=20&show=20 Although the photo used on the entry doesn't use a comma......

I'd seen that but smiley - cheers anyway Not-so-bald-eagle. That post (22)gave me the impression that the comma had been added in the update to the Entry.

I find it strange that it's an automatic message. I was expecting to find heated debate or an innocent comma-inserter, not a machine doing big brother act. It's strange that there was no reaction among the peer reviewers. Perhaps someone will pop in here with the 'historical truth'
