Just A Minute

Not at all, I would disagree, I think it IS a put-down - he's putting the program down

by saying it is a good thing he can't remember the 25 years of having to suffer it.

I wouldn't exactly call Peter's reply a putdown, more a self-deprecatory line.

I do believe it was in that same episode or a similar episode when something had happened, I can't recall what, but Nicholas couldn't remember what was going on and was awarding the subject to the wrong person, he gets pulled up for it, and Peter replies, 'You were the one that said that MY memory was slipping!'

My favourite is a classic Peter Jones line. It was quite late on in
his JAM career, and he challenged for repeating the subject on the
card. Nicholas snapped at him "I know you've only been playing the
game 25 years, but sometimes things do slip your memory, I realise."
and there was a beat and Peter said "Thank God it's merciful in that way!"
