Don't know whether I should divulge the answer, but what a great and rather moving clue!

[civdm]

I am curious now, about the clue and the answer!

[eminence]

Sorry, I should have posted the clue at least!

Clueless chairman's annoyed intervention (5)

[Mctavish]

Waiting with bated breath for the answer !!

[civdm]

Me too!!

[eminence]

OK sorry

HUMPH

One of quite a few media references today!

[Mctavish]

I'm afraid the old brain box isn't working very well tonight

[eminence]

OK here goes

Clueless chairman = Humph(rey) Lyttleton, chairman of I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue and often known as Humph.

Humph = annoyed interjection

[comeragh]

As you said what a brilliant clue and what a hole he has left!

[Mctavish]

I reckon that was lost on me - but as you say a good clue.

[GetOverIt]

Very average clue in my opinion, I got the reference immediately - Are you just impressed because you feel superior listening to radio 4 ?

[jno]

good clue. I suppose GetOverIt is one of those people who can finish a crossword while their egg boils, but I sure can't.

I alwyas like the classic one from the early days of the Times Xword, Die of cold (3,4)

[GetOverIt]

Sorry you feel that way. I was just trying to share my feelings with like minded people but think I will go elsewhere in future.
