    Help Strange Request - Mornington Crescent Game Info Needed!

    Hi all,
    I know this may sound like a strange questions, but there's gotta be a few oldies who remember this game from Radio 4 - it was before my time, lol!
    Basically, for my 3rd year project I'm recreating the game of mornington crescent but in 3d using openGL/c. Now, I know the basic idea of how theres are no "rules" as such and how it's a mainly abstract idea blah blah, but I was hoping for someone who remembers it to possibly send some pointers as to the original game, and some of the "rules" that were used (even if they were only used for one show etc)... basically anything that may help to tweak things!

    All help appreciated!

    John

    I remember listening to the radio show "I`m sorry I haven`t a clue" and as far as I can recall they never did have any rules, the game would allways end with someone saying "Mornington Cresent" and the rest of the panel would say "oh yes of course" in a sort of confused way. your best bet would be to contact radio4 and ask them if they can help

    Here is a link to the official fan site.

    The program wasn't actually called Mornington Crescent. But "I'm sorry, I haven't got a clue" where the idea of the game was how to get there.

    This is all shuff I have just picked up. Never heard the show.

    thats about right, from what i remember "mornington crescent" was a round in the show "I'm sorry, I haven't got a clue". (i may be mistaken, it's been a while since my old man had it on in the car!)

    nice find by the way, should make some interesting reading!
