I noticed that too and was thinking about it.

My conclusion was that the release is absolutely going to have to include Clement, because he was in so much of the early stuff that it would probably compromise the quality to be forced to pick episodes from which he was absent.

But Clement is excluded from the blurb (Except for "And many others") because they definitely don't want to give the impression that they're celebrating the man.

It's a weird, awful situation and I think this was the right choice by the BBC.  I'm genuinely happy for these releases, just because there's so much great work by the other performers.

although have just noticed it says it includes a 1968 show - so Clement must be in there

the blurb there omits Clement - looks like they may have looked for shows that don't include him. Interesting.

To celebrate 50 years of Just A Minute, this new collection includes 12 previously unpublished archive episodes of the much-loved BBC Radio 4 panel game presented by Nicholas Parsons.

What better way to mark a glorious half century of Just A Minute than with a collection of episodes from each of the programme's six decades, ranging from 1968 to the very special Christmas 2016 edition, Just A Minute Does Panto?

As has been the case for each of those 50 years, Nicholas Parsons chairs every edition with impeccable manners and good humour. The plethora of seasoned players includes Kenneth Williams, Derek Nimmo, Peter Jones, Paul Merton, Graham Norton, Tony Hawks, Gyles Brandreth and Sheila Hancock, and competing alongside them is an array of celebrated guests including ]Peter Cook, Barry Took, Brian Johnston, Ian Hislop, Betty Marsden, Sue Perkins, Liza Tarbuck, Jeremy Hardy, Stephen Fry and many others.

Who can talk for one minute on a given subject without hesitation, repetition or deviating from the subject? Who will leap in at the last second to trounce the competition and secure the lead? Find out as we play Just A Minute!
