Topic: Did Peter Jones ever mention the Hitch-Hiker's Guide while on JAM?

Subject says it all -- I'm a big fan of Just a Minute, and a big fan of
the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, of which Peter Jones was the
Voice of the Book. But, I haven't heard all of Peter's episodes... did
he ever refer to that role during his time on Just a Minute?

Here's the only reference I can remember - from 1994... Lee was
appearing with Peter, Paul Merton and Wendy Richard



NICHOLAS PARSONS: Lee Simpson will you take the next round, the subject
is putting one’s foot in it. There are 60 seconds starting now.

LEE SIMPSON: I saw that Caroline Quentin in a show, she was rubbish!
That woman who was with Mrs Slocombe, whatever happened to her? I
thought Frank Muir was brilliant in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
These are three ways I might put my foot in it. The physical sensations
that would follow that would be a sweaty patch at the bottom of my
spine, which would travel quickly up to the back of my neck over the top
of my head, separate round my nose and come...

BUZZ

I think Peter Jones was given the subject "hitch-hiking" on one of the TV episodes and I always wondered might have been a deliberate reference, but I think it's more likely that I'm just reading too much into it.
