Despite being an accursed Tory, Boris has an engaging, endearing
quality about him, and I for one think he would be hilarious on JAM.
Hearing him try to talk without hesitating or stammering or completely
going off the subject to complain about Europe would be fantastic.

it would never work. Anyone who has ever seen him on HIGNFY knows the guy can't go for two seconds without hesitating or repeating himself. in fact one of the funniest clips from that show had him going in some interminable loop regarding the answers to some connection quiz that he kept on reading off the teleprompter again and again and again.

I agree Robert. I think Boris’ buffoonery would just get in the way of the show. Also, I think only one Tommy Two-Ways Tory (Gyles Brandreth) is enough for Just a Minute J

just for the record, I prefer to be addressed as Bobby. Robert sounds so formal.

with regards to Boris' politics, I think we've got enough problems here in America with the Democrats and Republicans, no need to start lambasting someone for being a Tory or a Liberal or even a member of the Labor Party. not that I could ever understand British politics, I have trouble enough trying to understand American politics. ;)

Gyles used the term about himself a couple of years ago essentially to
imply (for comedic purposes) that he is bisexual.

GYLES BRANDRETH: I have always engaged the services of bright young
people who can actually do the odd jobs around the house. Particularly
of course if they look rather attractive. Because being Tommy Two-ways
is part and parcel of life as a Conservative. And...

BUZZ

SUE PERKINS: It's Tommy Two-ways!

GRAHAM NORTON: Gyles...

NICHOLAS PARSONS: I think you've blown your chances of...

GB: Oh no no no, can I just tell you deviation is part of being the new
inclusive party in the country!

NP: I think you've blown your chances of being adopted for any
constituency after that last remark.

GN: Gyles, your mother is listening! We know this already. She's
probably reaching for the cling film!

NP: Graham you challenged though, what was your challenge?

GN: Deviation of the worst kind! Appalling!

NP: Deviation? You think that ah it isn't the way the Conservative Party
selects their...

GN: I don't think it's the way Gyles should chat to his mother!

(bit clipped)

SP: It turns out I can speak about handymen because Gyles Brandreth's
mother is currently at home wearing a camisole and waiting for me. It
turns out she is Tamara Two-ways so all fair in love and war...

BUZZ

NP: Paul challenged.

PAUL MERTON: I think you'll find it's Betty Both-ways! It's got to be!
Or Belinda.

NP: So what is your challenge...

PM: It's Bunty Both-ways!

NP: Bunty Both-ways!

PM: Not Tamara Two-ways. Bunty Both-ways!

NP: Well I think she could have coined another phrase...

SP: Alison Any-ways?

NP: Oh I think we're getting...

PM: Or Deirdre Desperate!

GN: Nanette No-ways!
