Firstly, a good article on JAM with comments from Nicholas, Sue Perkins, Julian Clary and Justin Moorhouse.
http://www.bigissuescotland.com/features/view/123
Secondly, via tweets:
yasmin_sul: Just A Minute with Paul Merton, Janey Godley, Sue Perkins and Richard Herring was great.
easilybored: Also spent the afternoon trying to make a good impression on @heylimes mother by taking her to Just A Minute. Sue Perkins kicked ass.
raphbleakley: Just a Minute recording at the Pleasance good fun. Time for a power nap before fondue evening
RIOwen: Attended Just a Minute.... very good radio 4 show, recorded today.
From Janey:
"had a great time on Just a Minute would be good if I didnt keep repeating myself though !"
Oh, and a short video interview with Nicholas about Edinburgh here:

Richard Herring used to be one half of the criminally underrated nineties double act Lee & Herring, and now is a successful standup comedian, writer and broadcaster. He has been in the news recently over his latest show - Hitler Moustache - which has been wrongly accused of promoting racist themes (it is actually completely the opposite).
He also records a weekly podcast with journalist Andrew Collins (available free on i-tunes or www.sitcom.co.uk) which is basically just the two of them sitting in Richard's attic, riffing on whatever comes into their heads and commenting on the news - it's often very funny (but those easily offended by swears may wish to avoid)
Herring mentioned in a recent podcast that he really liked Just a Minute and wished he could appear on the show - it seems his wishes have been granted!

A Blog reader advises that the other panel was Paul Merton, Sue Perkins,
Mike McShane and Paul Sinha
Mike makes a second Edinburgh appearance.
Paul Sinha describes himself on his website as "a man of many talents,
Paul Sinha is a qualified GP, a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian,
able to play most of Abba's back catalogue on the piano and the
recorder". I hadn't heard of him before either but it seems his humour
is mainly about being single and dateless, a state of affairs with which
I can empathise.
Both he and Richard sound like good additions to the JAM family!

I agree with lapsedcat in saying that Richard Herring is less well known than he deserves. I enjoy his podcasts as well, but he's probably best known to Radio 4 audiences for his "permanent guest" status on "Banter" or, for those with longer memories, for "Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World". A cursory glance over his Wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Herring shows just how much of good British comedy he's been involved with.
I'm looking forward to these two shows already...

I certainly agree that JAM is unscripted, but I wonder how many modern contestants refuse to be told what topics their episodes will include.
They all seem SO prepared when their topics arise. It really, sadly reeks of days of careful preparation.
While there are certainly uncertainties after the first challenge comes, I wonder how many contestants are really flying off the cuff when Saint Nick says "You have 60 seconds starting NOW"?
Preparation surely helps the contestants manage their tendencies to vomit on-stage when they get a tricky subject, but it does sound rather glib much of the time when the first speaker launches into a virgin topic.
JAM is - or is meant to be - the modern equivalent of the Coliseum. We oooh and ahh at the vicissitudes and victories of the victims, but less blood is spent in the sawdust nowadays. In the early days of "I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue" Bill Oddie would pulsate with terror at each request for an unscripted poem or song. Are modern performers too precious to be stressed like this nowadays in a "theatre-sports" environment like JAM? Surely not.
I believe their pluck will be seen, and their spirits more greatly admired when it's obvious they are hearing the subject for the first time in their lives.
Don't give them the topics in advance! (Except, perhaps for the newbies like Paul Merton)

Mark

I suspect almost no-one goes on stage not having some thought about the
subjects. I'm not sure that's changed either. After all in his diaries
Kenneth Williams describes mugging up on historical subjects days before
a recording.
I do respect and understand your wish for complete spontaneity. Not sure
I feel as strongly - I think I'd rather they had something to say on the
subjects than waffle on saying nothing. But I do see where you're coming

But, I have to say, if there was a chance I'd have to speak on a subject like that for a minute then I'd definately mug up!

At the risk of being unduely contraversial, I'd have to say that the fact
Kenneth Williams was always worth hearing was largely *because* he was able
to say something intelligent about a subject, due to doing some research
beforehand - not merely because of being witty.
They didn't always have subjects that needed researching. "My favourite
colour" or "Why Kenneth Williams irritates me" were topics that clearly
needed no research. But when they had a historical character as the subject,
that did benefit from some research.
In my opinion, having someone on the show who was not simply waffling was a
real benefit to the show. It gave it some depth, which it sadly lacks today.
(If this week's contestants had done any research, I don't think it showed!)
And Kenneth could be funny about *anything* - a feat which only Paul Merton
can achieve now.
Whereas, at the other end of the scale, Wendy Richard (bless her) - who I
loved dearly - never did anything but waffle. Aimi Macdonald too. But Aimi
was capable, at her best, of being hysterically funny: something which can
excuse a multitude of sins!

Must agree. Wendy always seemed rather po-faced and irritable, especially when Clement listed. And she *always* objected to lists, which grew rather tiresome.

at the subjects when they gathered 30 to 60 minutes before the show. You
can see at a recording that many of them do have a few notes with them.
But these days they very rarely have subjects that require actual
research. Kenneth would always get a historical or artistic subject but
I really don't imagine say Paul Merton getting out a library book to
research some obscure subject even if he had the subjects early enough
to do so. He'd be far more likely to make up some tale about them.
I agree with Clitheroe that it added something different, depth to use
his word, to have some factual subjects and have them discussed at least
semi-seriously. It would be dull if every subject was like that but one
per show was good, I think. Even among the current panellists who are
pretty much all comedians now, there are people who I'm sure could be
erudite on a subject given the chance. Stephen Fry, Kit Hesketh-Harvey
and Gyles Brandreth spring to mind for example.
I was lucky enough to attend the recording at the Drill Hall when Wendy was a panellist and she seemed in such a foul mood from the outset, and said quite brusquely at one point that she didn't like her subject and wouldn't talk on it, so he gave her the subject meant for Kit...
