About this title

Synopsis

'Welcome to Just a Minute! And as The Minute Waltz fades away. . . please talk for 60 seconds on a random subject without repetition, hesitation, or deviation."

First broadcast in 1967, Just a Minute is one of the longest-running radio comedy shows. A national institution, it is also loved and listened to all around the world. These four episodes find regulars Paul Merton, Graham Norton, Tony Hawks, and Julian Clary attempting to talk non-stop for 60 seconds, along with special guests that include Stephen Fry, Sir Terry Wogan, Gyles Brandreth, Ross Noble, Sue Perkins, and Liza Tarbuck. Among the subjects hilariously tackled are Dear Listener, The Best Sort of Babysitter, The Dictionary, A Limerick, The History of the World, How to Clean a Chandelier, and On Valentine's Day, I Received. . . Join host Nicholas Parsons and the distinguished panelists, as they use their intellect, imagination, and verbal dexterity to beat the clock and win the points in these four ferociously funny shows.

2 CDs. 1 hr 51 mins.
