Mrs Trellis of North Wales made her first 'appearance' on ISIHAC during Series 17 in 1990. There was a long gap before she 'appeared' again, in Series 22 (1993). But from that moment on, pretty much every game of Mornington Crescent was preceded by "slightly less than two letters" from that particular Welsh correspendent.

This is an exhaustive (but I hope not exhausting) compilation of every single one of thuse nutty missives by the fragrant Mrs Trellis for your delight and delectation, read by the late, great Humphrey Lyttelton.

    A Golden Era. Such a privilege to have had such wonderful stuff to listen to on the radio.
  • @5uperhands
    This is wonderful to listen to - thanks!

    Amazing compilation! Hats off to you! I went to see ISIHAC live in Torquay earlier this year and it was truly wonderful.

    I used to take my holidays in North Wales . I never met Mrs Trellis . I missed out .
  • @Dungshoveleux
    I love the way the audience reacts as soon as her name is mentioned 😁
  • @gijgij4541
    "The show without Tim is like Hamlet without the balcony scene": sadly now, all too true. But I did have the immense privilege of being in the audience in Huddersfield in March for his last recording.
  • I can see from the bell in the top-right corner that I've received an unprecedented number of YouTube notifications, and it's a video about Mrs. Trellis.
  • "buttock-clenchingly piss poor" was never in my vocabulary until I heard Humph use it. It has never left my vernacular since.

    Thank you for uploading, I really enjoyed this ☺️

    Very good! More credit should go to Jon Naismith and Iain Pattinson whose scripted material has made this the best radio comedy ever.
  • @alexday5892
    I just love hearing Barry’s chortle and so lovely to hear Willie and Tim’s chuckles too. That limerick with the ough endings was fantastic! Thanks Mark for posting this and great job compiling. 👍🏻

    Wait a minute, there's a bulge in my 'in tray' - oh, it's a letter from Mrs Trellis of North Wales. It reads - Dear Mr Clarkson, I understand you are currently filming a TV programme while driving through small towns in South Wales. - Remember drive Caerphilly. Yours sincerely Mrs Trellis, North Wales.

    I discovered this program on the radio national broadcaster in Melbourne Australia when i worked night shift. Absolute comedy gold. Humph and Graham plus the bloke who couldn't sing to save his life who's name eludes me are my favourites. It took me some time to get mornington Crescent.
  • @kenhymes4900
    I vividly remember discovering this show on a tiny short wave radio in the early 80s. I was pretty confused by it for a while... in between the shipping forecasts and english language programs from authoritarian countries lived an oasis of gleeful silliness. Half the time i didn't understand the references. Education and travel and experience have filled in the blanks as i've remained a fan. Sometimes it has gotten tired, definitely struggled at times after Littleton's passing. But it's a wonderful thing, a place where relatively wholesome examplars of english middle class culture sit around and make funny.

    Dear DailyMotion Your videos were no help at all with my constipation Yours Mrs Trellis (North Wales)
  • @johnhughes2681
    Brilliant - I love the audience anticipation and appreciation!
  • Yes Mrs Trellis was a fan just that her letters were obviously misdirected and dropped into the ISIHAC in tray ; Humph was always the gentleman and replied as appropriate 😉 so sad now that Tim has died will miss his participation sometimes sending me into fits of apoplectic guffaws. Thank you for posting
