Just A Minute

Hi all,

I was very saddened when I heard Nicholas had died. He was a brilliant chairman of JAM and it was wonderful that he had kept chairing this legend of a programme almost until the end of his life.

I've been a JAM fan for probably 25 years although I'd heard less episodes in the last couple of years.

Personally, I'd like the programme to go off air for at least 12 months, preferably longer. I think this is the right thing to do, not only out of respect for NP, but also if we want it to successfully return then it needs a break first.

I've been amazed just how quiet this group has been since NP died. I thought there would have been a flurry of activity. Also, I've visited http://just-a-minute.info/ expecting to see something about the death of Nicholas at least in the news section, but no, nothing since last year when Dean wrote his famous "falling out of love [with JAM]" post - a shame. If NP's death doesn't spur even former fans into activity, then nothing well.

My view is that JAM should take two years off, come back with a trial of a range of presenters, perhaps revisit the rules (but I'll be happy to stick with them) and then make a comeback!

David.
