Just A Minute

As it happens, I've just recently listened to Tim Rice's first appearance on "Just a Minute", going back to 1980. He appeared alongside Kenneth, Derek, and Peter, and at the end of the half hour all four panellists had the same number of points (Peter thanks in part to incessant interruptions by Kenneth during a round on carrier bags which led Nicholas to, to borrow Dean's description from the transcript, shout at him in a voice louder than he has ever used on "Just a Minute" before or since). Nicholas claimed at the end that it was the first time all four panellists had finished equal at the end. I haven't checked to see if it truly was the first time the game finished in a four-way draw, although I wonder how many times it has happened?
