Story
The complete 73rd series of the hugely popular BBC Radio 4 panel game, chaired by Nicholas Parsons. Just a Minute is a national institution which has entertained generations of listeners since it was first broadcast almost 50 years ago. Its winning formula - contestants must speak on a given subject for one minute without hesitation, repetition or deviation - is a surefire recipe for hilarity.
Summary
Just a Minute was devised by the late Ian Messiter, who came up with the idea on the top of a number 13 bus, where he suddenly remembered the horrible task of speaking for one minute without hesitation or deviation being meted out by one of his school masters to his class. Present panelists include Paul Merton, Graham Norton, Clement Freud, Linda Smith, Tony Hawks, Sue Perkins, Stephen Fry, Jenny Eclair, Julian Clary, Ross Noble, Lisa Tarbuck, Tim Rice and Wendy Richard.
