Topic: 40th Anniversary CD release!

The BBC has released a 40th Anniversary Collection - basically its all
four (although I don't think the release of number 4 was mentioned
here) of the 'Just a Classic Minute' releases in one box. Its been out
since September 3rd - I'm surprised no one has noticed it before. Nice
tro see the BBC have remembered its the 40th anniversary.

If you want to support the BBC you can get it direct for £27.99 (RRP £45):

In addition on the first of October the annual 'Best of 2007' CD was released:

yeah I wrote about it at the blog way back in April.
http://justaminutesite.blogspot.com/search?q=geraldine+jones+bob+monkhouse

Consider this for a cast: Nicholas Parsons, Clement Freud, Kenneth
Williams, Peter Jones, Derek Nimmo, Paul Merton, Wendy Richard, Stephen
Fry, Sheila Hancock, Geraldine Jones, Tim Rice, Alfred Marks, John
Junkin, Richard Murdoch, Lance Percival, Maureen Lipman, Barry Took, Ray
Alan, Peter Cook, Victoria Wood, Jan Ravens, Thora Hird, Tommy Trinder
and Bob Monkhouse! Not bad...

One is due to hit my letter box today! :-)

We did mention the release of Classic Volume 4 here - first last
February http://groups.yahoo.com/group/just-a-minute/message/409 and
again in June http://groups.yahoo.com/group/just-a-minute/message/958

I'm still hopeful the BBC will do something a little more inspiring
though for the 40th anniversary. After all Nicholas and Clement are
unlilkely to both be around for the 50th... It really would be the time
for something big....

cheers, D

I was also going to note that - I mentioned in my post on Volume 4 that
Peter Jones has not been on the cover of the CDs. Well he is on the 40th
anniversary cover! Great!

I feel like starting every sentence with "well" just to celebrate! :-)
