Product Description

This title contains sixteen episodes - covering four decades - of the ever-popular BBC Radio 4 panel game, introduced by Nicholas Parsons. For the first time in one collection, these four volumes contain 16 episodes and span all four decades of the series: the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Nicholas Parsons, who has been at the helm of the series since it began, as chairman and occasionally as player, introduces each episode and provides fascinating background information on the game, as well as memories of its players and its devisor, Ian Messiter. Just as uproariously funny - and terrifically popular - today as when it first began on BBC Radio 4 in 1967, "Just a Minute" challenges contestants to speak for one minute on a given subject without repetition, hesitation or deviation. Its mix of irreverent fun and ferocious competition has always attracted stellar names from the world of comedy and theatre. Regular players include Kenneth Williams, Clement Freud, Derek Nimmo, Peter Jones and Paul Merton.
