Let's send thanks to two very nice people who recorded this program from the October 1 rebroadcast, and have been kind enough to share it with us.
Go
here for an approximately 387 mb file of "It's Time For Just A Minute." This file should stay "alive" at least until March 2009. (I'll be posting it on other sites, too ---if there is one you prefer, just send me an email.) It has also been posted to the "links" section of the group.
The person who gave this to me wants to stay anonymous, but is happy to have it posted here. This kind "capper" says you may share it with your friends.
I've also been given a larger file of the program---but as it's over 500mb, I've got to split it into two smaller parts, as many of the dl sites require you to be a paying member to take files that size. I'm posting this while on a business trip, but that one will have to wait until I return home!
If you are new to watching avi files, I suggest you use VLC to play it on your computer ---a quick google will take you to this free program that can play just about any type of video file.
The BBC Four description of "It's Time For Just A Minute" reads:
"Can you speak for a minute without hesitation, repetition or deviation? For 35 years Just a Minute has entertained people across the globe doing just that. In this Arena special we see how Paul Merton, Clement Freud, Linda Smith and Ross Noble continue the Just a Minute tradition by taking our minds here, there and everywhere as they vie against time and twisting tongues.
Nicholas Parsons, the eternal master, tries to keep his unruly foursome under control, as Arena follows the team on their journeys to a recording in Canterbury. Clement indulges in a long lunch and a little light gambling before setting off. Biker Ross stops at Thurrock services for a bit of shopping therapy before opening the throttle down the A2. Linda lets the train take the strain, whilst Paul and Nicholas drive to the place of pilgrimage.
Each share their thoughts on the competition ahead as Arena asks all of them how long a minute really is and stretches the mind and second hand until they will go no further. "
Enjoy!
