Mornington Crescent has been popularised by BBC Radio 4's programme I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, which gave listeners a chance to admire the style and technical excellence of such masters as Willie Rushden, Barrie Crier, Tim Brook-Taylor, and the deft (daft?) umpiring of Humphrey Littleton.. (In case you're wondering, my favourite move in Mornington Crescent is Heathrow Terminals 1,2 and 3, closely followed by Plaistow.)
The basics of Senate House Passage are similar to those of Mornington Crescent: players take it in turn to name Cambridge street names, and the winner is the first to name Senate House Passage. See elsewhere for the complete set of rules, including which list of street names is considered canonical and the correct moves to play when the rising bollards in the centre are up to enforce the pedestrianised zone.
Both Senate House Passage and Mornington Crescent are amenable to play
via email, and this is how I play most of my Senate House Passage matches.
Mornington Crescent
can also be played via the world wide web, and there are several
web sites devoted to it, including an official
BBC Radio 4 server. As far as I know, the only parts of the world
wide web dedicated to Senate House Passage are this page, and a record
of a game at the site of my best mate Paul. This game was played using
the long-distance strategy first outlined by Micklethwaite
(1896), which allows for street names outside of Cambridge. By consent
between all players, we have excluded London (0171 and 0181 numbers).
