Just A Minute

Yep, I know the one you mean J It was from 2006 and featured Paul, Clement, Julian and Pauline McLynn. Transcript follows…

Ant

Nicholas Parsons: Yes Clement you have 30 seconds now, the London Marathon starting now.

Clement Freud: When people say how is it possible that you, at your age, can do the Marathon , I have to tell them that I have the body of a boy of 18. In... in my refrigerator!

BUZZ

NP: Paul challenged.

Paul Merton: I was going to say deviation, but I do know that Clement does have the body of an 18-year-old boy in his refrigerator, so... I've seen him! Simon! I remember that party round at Clement's place, and he said "the drinks are in the fridge and by the way, say hello to Simon. He's an 18-year-old boy I keep in there."

NP: Right, you actually challenged before he said about the keeping in the fridge.

PMe: I know.

NP: But anyway, 19 seconds, the London Marathon starting now.

PMe: I've got a new boyfriend at the moment. He lives in Clement's fridge, but I've dug a tunnel so I get in the back of that particular implement, and there we are, we kiss amongst the ice cubes! And...

BUZZ

NP: Julian challenged.

Julian Clary: It's deviation.

NP: Why?

JC: Well what's he talking about?

PMe: I kiss the boy behind the ice cubes.

NP: Yes he's gone off into a world of fantasy which is actually utterly devious. If you want to interpret...

PMe: Just a minute! This 18-year-old boy wasn't devious when he was Clement's, now I start, I start kissing him and then it's devious!

NP: I know.

CF: Actually he...

PMe: You've never liked Simon, have you? Have you? You've never liked him! He's never liked Simon!

NP: This is an impossible game to judge on in a way. If he's in his fantasy mode, is he allowed to go and have anything? Or do you allow him...

CF: Actually he's dead!

Pauline McLynn: Don't say he's dead! (wails) Nooo!

NP: Simon's dead.

PMe: Clement you could have broken it to me in a better way than this! I thought he'd gone quiet!

NP: Paul Merton gets two bonus points. One because what he was saying, one for that extra remark. Julian you get a correct challenge of deviation so you get a point for that, you take the subject, 12 seconds available, the London marathon starting now.

JC: Fill your jockstrap with fresh fruit is my tip if you're going to run a marathon. And I have the name Simon across my back which is...

BUZZ

NP: Paul challenged.

PMe: You liar! You don't know Simon! Simon's my friend!

NP: But he's dead!

PMe: Oh don't rub it in! I'm trying to forget about that! For God's sake! Are you inhuman?

NP: I think Just A Minute's gone into a realm that it's never approached before. We're stuck in the fantasy world. So Paul...

PMe: He doesn't know Simon! He's talking about Simon and no-one knows him!

NP: Right! Another bonus for Paul because we enjoyed what he said. A point to you because you got a correct challenge...

JC: Thank you.

NP: And you have the subject of Simon, no you don't, you have the...

AUDIENCE LAUGHTER

NP: In fact let's change it. There's only four seconds to go, talk about Simon for four seconds starting now.

JC: It's a thankless task talking about Simon for four seconds because it's hard to achieve anything...

WHISTLE

It's extra fun if Julian is on with paul as they sometimes play off
each- didn't they once have a to do about some guy ( simon?)that was
very funny. Miriam
