Dean. You're a legend. Nicholas' memory is conveniently short these days. He often says after full minutes "We haven't had one of those in quite a while..." and I think to myself: really?

Anyway, it was a great minute. David went on without needing too much generosity from the other panellists, as is sometimes the case. :)

Just A Minute blog: David Tennant's first
David Tennant has received a fair bit of attention for going the full 60 seconds without interruption in his first appearance. Nicholas Parsons declared it on air to be a first.

Bill and all. Yes, and I snigger at times when Nicholas starts going on about how he has to do a mental replay of what a player has just said to allow a challenge of repetition or not! Many times his verdict is not accurate to be honest. Though I can only comment on the past few years of JAM.

 

I listened to David’s very thrilling round a couple of times and the only word that was repeated once that I could spot was the word (something). So I think he deserved the two points. Has anyone spotted any other repetitions that the others let go?

Actually, I think he was worse in the 90s! I know we've discussed this
before but most of the obviously wrong verdicts that I've taken notice
of happened during the 90s shows (maybe stretched to the early 2000's).

I believe it was the late 90s too he seemed to always just by default
give Paul a bonus point whenever he muttered anything. It was on
automation imo.

Would be fun to see stats of wrong verdicts over the years though! (no
that's not a hint to you Dean. Poor sod. :) )

JAM got another mention on PM Radio 4, or rather the listeners' comments IPM today Friday.

One person suggested they find the show where Ross Noble mentions a donkey.

Must have been the Canterbury Show when they were discussing the Canterbury Tales, a show made famous in the TV documentary about JAM using cuts from that show and indeed interviews with the panellists whist on the train, I think, to that town.

I still fantasise about making a spreadsheet of wrong challenges for repetition, who they were made by, and whether Nic was right or wrong in his recall, and who suffered if they lost the subject wrongly, or who suffered if they failed incorrectly to win the point, and who wrongly won the point.

Sometime I think Nic goes with the flow dependent on audience feedback. Mention and mentioned is a common mischallenge.

Nic's Cat Cat's ruling was infamous, ruling that to repeat part of a word was also repetition - whiskers whisk defence. Which of course is nonsense.

Clement's summary of Nic in that TV documentary says it all. He is a showman.

Incidentally the Tennant PM re-edit suggested he repeated "stage". Still available on iplayer if you look for my earlier message from that day.

Great how Nic has got us all chatting again!!!

Ah yes, you’re right, “stage” was indeed repeated. Although I listened to Tennant’s round three times before I still missed it! My excuse is that “stage” was used as a verb “how you stage this” and repeated as a noun “with a stage technology”, and I imagine because of this that one mentally would perceive them as two different words even they are the same word. Well, this is what I say to myself anyway!

 

I’m going to show my total ignorance by asking, what is PM please?

 

I haven’t listened to many of the 90s shows so I’ll keep my ears open as it were next time when listening!

Yeah me too, such a spreadsheet would be really interesting to read.
Just on the repetition challenges, where there is a definitive answer.

I agree. And I love Nic, who doesn't. It would just be interresting to
see statistics just for the sake of the information.

I think he went more "with the flow" back then, and didn't really pay
that much attention. Or so it sounded. He also very often changed ruling
based on the feedback from the panel. I often got the impression he
wasn't as on top of the game as he became later.

But I may be wrong. Stats would prove me so. :)

Hi

My guess is that it would be mainly correct and then a pretty even split between incorrectly given, incorrectly rejected. There may be a deviation in his response to different speakers - whether he favoured Paul, Julian etc and maybe was harder on Clement. But when it is so difficult to be sure when you are listening for pleasure in a relaxed home environment it must be a feat of concentration to do it in a recording - to maintain the concentration over two recordings is amazing.

And why not do the stats on repetitions that no-one noticed? (If you really want to fritter away what would take a lot more than ......you know what)

In his article in The Independent Julian Clary says  
<quote> Tennant had managed to do something unprecedented in the show’s 50-year history and we all knew we had seen something brilliant and thrilling: first time on the show and indeed the first time he opened his mouth, he spoke for the full 60 seconds without hesitation, repetition or deviation on the subject “Exit, Pursued by a Bear"

Is that a first then?

Ask the audience brings up its own discussion.

Ok. Nic hardly does it any more but when he did:

How often did he leave the audience completely flummoxed as to what he had just asked? Sometimes it was clear, cheer for Kenneth, boo for Clement (and is that showing bias?),

but sometimes the cheer and boo he requested could be to support the same outcome

sometimes Nic forgot what he had just asked and had no idea who the cheers/boos were for

And he arbitrarily allocated point and subject.

The easiest way to do this would be using Dean's transcripts.

Dean has said he listens, then write down what he hears.

When I did my sole transcript I replayed each bit of the tape time and again. I put in all the slurs and stutters in text.

I don't think Dean does this, but he will I am sure correct me.

So if Dean can say he is pretty sure he accurately recorded each speech then we can start. I am hoping as he was transcribing things like repetition would have stuck in his head and thus he would have accurately recorded those sentences.

Then we would need volunteers to take a year of transcripts, after agreeing on what we put in the spreadsheet. We would even need to agree on e.g. cat's and cats as being the same word. As Nic says he works in sound.

But I am pretty sure someone lost the subject for saying son and sun, based on Nic saying it's the sound.

And indeed currently stage (noun) and stage (verb) - same words or different?

But maybe life is too short.......

I don't mean to be unkind, but a lot of my pleasure listening to JAM is Nicholas bumping into walls and embarrassing himself when he's at his highest level of preenworthy pomposity and vanity.

He's the embarrassing try-too-hard great-uncle who sincerely thinks he's the life of the party with a responsibility to be entertaining with his Hamish/Dougal Scottish accents, his faux-French, or his umpteenth rendition of the same old story when all the other guests are wondering who he is and who invited him.

An image of Alan Partridge's dad in a gaudy waistcoat springs to mind.

Now I really understand how Clement Freud must have felt... a bit like Kenneth Branagh cast as the Gravedigger while Nicholas plays Hamlet, trips, and falls head-first off the stage (only to leap back, beaming, and declare, "I meant to do that! Aha!")

I feel better now.

I'm afraid I must get off the fence and say I agree with Mark. I do get the feeling that he thinks of Just a Minute as his programme and its success is thanks to him. In fairness to Nic, my opinion may come from the way the media handle a chairman of Nic's great age; without Nic I don't think the programme would have lasted this long and I wonder about the direction it might take when Nic can no longer chair it.

In the very early days they revolved the chairmanship just a few times. The others were as bad at chairing as Nic was as a contestant. Well maybe...

But this is before JAM found its shape, before it recognised itself as a full blown comedy show.

It is a shame once the four boys got into their rhythm they never revolved the chair....that would have been interesting.

I imagine if Nic retires they may well try a bit of revolving. Before settling down to a format without hesitation, deviation, repetition or revolution.

One of the key factors in a replacement will be availability.  Who is willing to commit to it for every show?  Very few names will be able to commit to that (certainly for the money that they pay for the role).

I think it absolutely has to be someone who has been on the show a lot.  Players like Paul and Sue Perkins are too strong individuals contributors, but someone like Tony Hawks could be very good in the role.

I hope that they don't have rotating chairs.  Unlike Have I Got News For You, it's a difficult and specialised role.  It hasn't worked well when, in the distant past, they have rotated it.

Am I deviating?

Yes. David Mitchell. My favourite! He’s clever and very witty and at the same time he has this traditional air about his persona that makes him, IMHO, fit to chare such a program. What do you think?

Sometimes I wonder to myself who could/would take over if/when Nick steps down... Maybe it's uncool to even mention it, but I do find myself considering it sometimes. Anyone have any ideas?

In the very early days they revolved the chairmanship just a few times. The others were as bad at chairing as Nic was as a contestant. Well maybe...
 
But this is before JAM found its shape, before it recognised itself as a full blown comedy show.
