Story
This new audiobook celebrates 25 years of the BBC radio show Just a Minute. Under the eye of its ever-jovial, though constantly embattled, chairman, Nicholas Parsons, four of the game's best known players, Clement Freud, Peter Jones, Derek Nimmo, and the irrepressible, not to say uncontrollable, Kenneth Williams, respond to some pretty silly topics with hilarious results in two complete programmes of this much-loved radio series. In addition such talented talkers as Peter Cook, Stephen Fry, Sheila Hancock, Paul Merton, and Victoria Wood are on hand.

The programme was made popular by the likes of regular panellists Clement Freud, Peter Jones, Derek Nimmo and, of course, Kenneth Williams, whose outraged outbursts and extreme insults are legendary.

Lighthearted fun, and very clever
There's a real knack to talking on a subject non stop without hesitating and repeating and a minute is a surprisingly long time to do so. if you're going to try, make it with funny people only. With Kenneth William's as a regular they dont come much funnier he has me laughing so much. Guest artists across the 4 episodes featured are in the form of Ray Allen, Paul Merton, Bob Monkhouse and Dame Thora Hird and all really give a good run for the money in terms of wit and humour. Derek Nimmo is an inspired choice for wit. Peter Jones is great for the one liners, Clement Fraud is for me passable only as the other regular mainstayers with Kenneth that form the panel regulars.
Highly entertaining from start to finish. A great thing to buy and play for someone recuperating or if you are doing something else at the same time. There are 4 episodes on here. l loved them all. I think I may well buy more of them in the series now.
