Not totally new but I love answering questions so:

 

1. My favourite Just a Minute panellist is.

..hard to choose... because there are many good ones but ones I have enjoyed most recently are Eddie Izzard, PM, Sheila Hancock, Charles Collingwood, Sue Perkins, Steven Fry, Linda Smith, Tony Hawks, Rob Bryden  

2. If I could pick four people for my best ever Just a Minute panel,
they would be

i) Stephen Fry, Peter Cook, Rob Bryden, Linda Smith

3. The person/s I would like to hear more of on Just a Minute is Linda Smith (rip) but alive Rob Bryden

4. The first time I heard Just a Minute was to long ago but it must have made an impact  

5. I think if Kenneth Williams and Paul Merton had ever been on the show
together Williams would have wiped the floor with PM

6. The funniest moment ever on Just a Minute was lost in the gaze of many other funny moments but the pea in the whistle in Glasgow always make me chuckle

7. The reason I love listening to Just a Minute is it’s a great way to relax...

8. If you've been to a Just a Minute recording, tell us about it! – I may sulk here

9. If you've ever played Just a Minute yourself, tell us about it! – Told you I’m sulking

10. If I could meet a Just a Minute star and ask them one question, I
would want to meet Clement Freud and the question would be “Do you really think so little of Nick and your colleagues?”

11. The Just a Minute star I most look like/act like is PM

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

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

i) I was born near Parsons Green 10 Years after PM was born there.

ii) I was taught by the same history teacher as Tony Hawks – David Ackers – he got a mention at the show in Fowey.

iii) My Panel from Hell – Brandreth, Neill, Clary, Richard   

NON JAM

i) Currently training to be a C of E lay reader

ii) The Best Band in the world is Marillion.

iii) Marzipan is a vile substance and should be  banned under international law.

 

Suggestion for an additional question –

14) Who would you like to see on JaM but has never appeared?

  1. My favourite Just a Minute panellist is. Kenneth Williams!
  2. If I could pick four people for my best ever Just a Minute
    panel, they would be: the original foursome (KW, DN, CF and PJ) – they had a special chemistry that helped to make JAM so innovative and entertaining!
  3. The person/s I would like to hear more of on Just a Minute is: This is a tough one….I really wish they would bring back Sheila Hancock or Aimee MacDonald, I’d love to hear them with the likes of Paul Merton!
  4. The first time I heard Just a Minute was: about a year ago, I downloaded an episode off the net just by chance and I was hooked!
  5. I think if Kenneth Williams and Paul Merton had ever been on
    the show together: only one of them would have come out alive (hint, one of them would be walking home to Great Portland Street….)
  6.  The funniest moment ever on Just a Minute was: too many to list….I love KW’s outbursts of hysteric indignant, PM’s flights of surreal fancy, CF droll wit, PJ’s witty interjections, DN’s lyrical filibusters….there’s just so many classic moments!
  7. The reason I love listening to Just a Minute: It’s a great way to relax and it’s also fun to play along with at home.
  8. If I could meet a Just a Minute star and ask them one question: I would ask Nicholas Parsons if I could make a guest appearance on the show J
  9. The Just a Minute star I most act like is, a little bit of Paul Merton and a little bit of Peter Jones….
  10. If I had to speak for 60 seconds on a subject without
    hesitation, repetition or deviation it would be: rather fun!
  11. Favourite JAM topic: “What to do with the hole in the donut”
  12. Who would you like to see on JAM but has never appeared? Sister Wendy and Paul Merton in a battle of wits – now that would be surreal!
 
Additional Info:
 
I am a JAM fan from Canada….anyone else on this list from Canada?

I thourght I'd answer Dean baker's dozen, most of my memorys are from
the last 5 years as that's when I started listening to the show.

1. My favourite Just a Minute panellist is Paul Merton because I like
the surrealism and quick wit that he displays.

2. If I could pick four people for my best ever Just a Minute panel,
they would be Clement Freud, Paul Merton, Stephen Fry and Ross Noble
because they each have a unique and amusing way of playing the game
and they have never appeared together as a four.

3. The persons I would like to hear more of on Just a Minute are Ross
Noble because he has a surreal style that always makes me laugh,
especally when he appears with Paul Merton and Tony Hawks because I
don't think he appears as often as a man of his talent should appear
on JAM.

4. The first time I heard Just a Minute, I thought it was strange to
hear Paul Merton's voice on the radio and I wondered what I was
listening to. It was an episode just after the 35th anniversary
special (Episode 581)and I remember listening to Paul, Ross, Steve and
Kit and laughing alot.

5. I think if Kenneth Williams and Paul Merton had ever been on the
show together then there may have being little interaction between the
2 of them prehaps, maybe in the same way there is little interaction
between Paul and Graham. I think Paul would probably get more points,
but it's the contribution that matters.

6. The funniest moment ever on Just a Minute was, a moment a few years
a ago when Paul and Linda Smith started talking about being outwitted
by an herbacious border or a show from 1997 with Peter Jones, Clement
and Paul (episode 472) being very pedantic about the repetition rule.

7. The reason I love listening to Just a Minute is there are so many
people who ring there own unique style to the game and as it's all
improvised there are never 2 shows the same.

8. If you've been to a Just a Minute recording, tell us about it! I
haven't unfortunatly

9. If you've ever played Just a Minute yourself, tell us about it!
Again I haven't played it either

10. If I could meet a Just a Minute star and ask them one question, I
would want to meet Nicolas and the question would be, what since 1967
is your 1 favorite memory from JAM

11. The Just a Minute star I most look like/act like is Paul Merton,
as I tend to have a quick wit and when I talk I can fall into a
surreal story sometimes without realising.

12. If I had to speak for 60 seconds on a subject without hesitation,
repetition or deviation, it would be "Cricket," I love playing cricket
and it's being a passion of mine since I was a small child (If you
live outside the UK, then you may be unsure of exactly what cricket
is, to sum up it it's a game invented in England but strangly the
English team tends to lose quite alot. Many people consider it a
boring game but I love to play it on a nice hot summer's day.)

13. Three key facts I'd like everyone on the group to know about me
are:
1 I first listen to JAM when I was 14 years old.
2 I have never met another person my age who listens to JAM.
3 I went to school with a member of the British band Arctic Monkeys.

14 The person I would most like to see on JAM who has never appeared
before is Alan Davies as he has a surreal edge and I generally find
him to be funny no matter what he's on.

He now lives in Australia and only spends two or three months a year in
the UK. I'm sure if he was living in the UK, he'd be on the show a lot!

That's a great suggestion - I love Alan on QI. He'd sorta combine the
surrealism of Paul with that air of befuddlement that Peter Jones
exemplified...

There are so many people I'd love to see on the show. I think the only
fair thing is to make JAM a daily show so we can get in all the people I
want, plus get in more of the current cast.....

Thanks for that Dean, I seem to remember Paul ringing him up when Paul
was presenting a radio show last Christmas on Radio 2 in the UK. When
Ross spoke he said he was in Australia and because of the time
differences he was acctually speaking from the future. It's a shame he
can't spend more time here because it would be great to hear more of
him not only on JAM but also on other comedy outlets, he was brilliant
the few times he appeared on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

It's good that the new producer has cast her net wide, but it seems
strange that almost everyone who appears regually on QI has appeared
on JAM (Stephen Fry, Sean Lock, Jo Brand, Bill Bailey, Phil Jupitus
etc.) but Alan Davies has never appeared. Although you said after
speaking to Phil Jupitus that he had had turned down the chance to
appear on a few occasions previously, prehaps the same has happened
with Alan Davies.

you know who I think ought to appear on JAM, Jon Culshaw from 'Dead Ringers'.  I remember hearing him on 'Wireless Wise' the few times it was broadcast on BBC7, and he certainly knew how to play for laughs and was excellent in the witty banter department, plus it has been quite some time since they've had a professional impressionist on the show, the last one they had was Alistair McGowen, and he didn't even utilize that talent to any degree when he was on.  Before him was Janet Brown, who was quite good with her talent, but perhaps not quite as good in the game.
