Just A Minute

This is my first post to this group, although my wife and I met the host of this group, Dean Bedford, some five years ago when he visited the UK .

1.        My favourite Just a Minute panellist is Kenneth Williams because of his versatility.

2.        If I could pick four people for my best ever Just a Minute panel,
they would be Freud, Jones, Nimmo and Williams because I “grew up” with them.

3. The person/s I would like to hear more of on Just a Minute is Stephen Fry,
 because he is multi-talented and enjoys other’s contributions.

4. The first time I heard Just a Minute, I thought, I must listen again next week!

5. I think if Kenneth Williams and Paul Merton had ever been on the show
together, KW might have pretended to get irritated by PM’s surrealism, but I believe PM may have been in awe of KW.

6. The funniest moment ever on Just a Minute was one of KW’s moments of outrage.

7. The reason I love listening to Just a Minute is, it makes me laugh and has done for over 35 years, but never seems to get stale.

8. If you've been to a Just a Minute recording, tell us about it!  Oxford 2005, Freud, Hawks, Ayres and Clary.  Good performances by the four contestants and NP.  Delay caused by malfunction of microphones, resulting in the panel voting not to have an interval!!! Occasion spoilt by young person in row behind, ca 12 years old, with VERY LOUD laugh, that seemed on occasions not to be spontaneous, but more of a reaction to the audience laughter.

9. If you've ever played Just a Minute yourself, tell us about it!

10. If I could meet a Just a Minute star and ask them one question, I
would want to meet Kenneth Williams and the question would be, “Do you realise just how much your public loved you?”

11. The Just a Minute star I most act like is, well, try to act like, is Paul Merton.

12. If I had to speak for 60 seconds on a subject without hesitation,
repetition or deviation, it would be photography.

13. Three key facts I'd like everyone on the group to know about me
are,

a)        As well as JAM, I love ISIHAC and ISIRTA

b)       I was born and raised in London but now live in Oxfordshire

c)        As I get older, I realise how much I value the BBC and the fact that I can listen to it all over the world via the internet.
