Hello Robert,

If you genuinely are "punching the walls in anger" or anything
remotely like that then may I gently suggest that you are probably
taking Just A Minute a little too seriously?

Just A Minute is not a quiz show. There are no real rewards for
the "winner". There is no need for Nicholas (or anyone else) to be
consistent between episodes, or even within an episode. Just A
Minute is a show which provides light, humorous entertainment and
nothing else. It is played for laughs.

I've not been listening long enough to know whether Just A Minute
originally started out with a "serious" purpose. It's perhaps
heretical to say this, but I find most of the older shows utterly
dull. I don't even (much) like the contributions that Kenneth
Williams made, although I love the contributions from Peter Jones.

So, as my daughter would say, "take a chill pill".

Incidentally, the MP3 from Monday's broadcast (episode 4 of series
57) is now available for download. Please see the "Series 57" entry
in the "Links" section of this group.

Hope this helps
