Some find Gyles Brandreth irritating; others admire his wit, erudition and
tenacity. I was somewhere in the middle until I read his edited diary "something
sensational to read in the train"*. To be honest, I still am (but I'm just much
more inclined to give more weight to the positives).
Gyles has always
been a high achieving and driven individual. Top exam results, Scholarship to
Oxford, President of the Oxford Union, accomplished after dinner speaker, TV
star and published author by 20, he ends the diaries by announcing that he is
going to do one thing of quality before he dies. Passionate about Shakespeare,
ballet and hi-brow culture, he has however spent a lot of his life in fluffy
jumpers doing game shows. I'm not sure in these diaries whether he truly
recognises that this is due to choices that he himself has made and that he has
made these choices because he has chosen to value money highly. He does
recognise that his passion for doing lots of different things means that he is
unlikely to excel at any one thing.
Boy, has he tried to do many things.
The breadth of his activities is astounding. Businessman, prolific writer**,
theatre impresario, politician, TV interviewer, biographer to Prince Philip,
tireless after dinner speaker, charity worker etc etc. This man works hard
indeed; it's in his genetic make-up and he believes that he's only happy if he
continues to do so.
Gyles appears to be a very honest individual, both
ethically and in his judgement and observations on himself and others. He has a
great strength in disambiguating his version of what happened from his wider
analysis on why and how it happened. One of his strongest traits is his
non-judgemental attitude to others. He will gossip about others, but does so
typically by looking for and finding the positive aspect of the other person's
character. One gets the feeling that Gyles has probably edited the diary to
spare the feelings of others. He doesn't do this however to spare his own
feelings and some of the diary is a little uncomfortable to read, especially the
early years. I would have been inclined to edit out some aspects of the diary
that didn't show me in a positive light. He hasn't, and that's to his great
credit.
This desire to see the good in others also restricts his
effectiveness in some areas. He is a hopeless politician. He aspires to be Home
Secretary (so that he can implement prison reform), but the diary is littered
with his poor judgements about others (Archer, Neil Hamilton, Hurd).
He
makes a few references to Just a Minute, and he seems to know just about
everybody who has ever played Just a Minute (he wrote for example Kenneth
Williams' Acid Drops). He held the joint worked record with Nicholas Parsons for
after dinner speaking (adjacent rooms) etc etc. Some of the new guard are not
mentioned, but this is because the diaries stop, somewhat abruptly, in early
2000.
Gyles knows everybody with any fame in the UK (and many outside the
UK too). He has outstanding stories too; ones that will make you laugh
uproariously in a train. The stories are enough to warrant you buying the book,
but there is more than that too. Gyles has had a successful life. This is not
due to fame and achievement (which he shows are transitory and largely
worthless), but to the fact that he has a very successful marriage, multiple
very close relationships and seemingly happy children.
Gyles both values
good entertainment in others and seeks to provide it to others. He has done this
in these diaries and I recommend them highly. They will make more sense to those
from the UK, but it can be enjoyed by anyone. I read it on kindle; and they are
available from
Amazon.

*referencing
the famous Oscar Wilde quote
**really very prolific. Hundreds and hundreds of
(largely inconsequential) books
Geraldine Jones is perhaps one of the most underappreciated females to appear on the program. She was part of a quartet of regular females brought in to mix it up with the three regular fellas during the late 60`s along with Andree Melly, Sheila Hancock and Aimi MacDonald. She was absolutely wonderful, as she was very knowledgeable on a variety of subjects. She was also given the honor of being the first female chairman before Andree Melly. Much like Andree Melly i feel she wasnt given the benefit of the doubt often enough and was also treated rather shoddily in some respects. Example, during the subjrect of "Getting the Best of an Argument", no sooner does she open her mouth to say that no one gets the best of an argument by arguing is she challenged for deviation by Clement Freud and even after she tried to
defend what she was trying to say, she still had the subject wrongly taken away from her. Amongst some of my favorite moments involving Geraldine had to be when she spoke on 'The Times I Wear My Bikini', and seemed rather modest about her good looks, and comparing the moments of wearing a bikini to when nuns mortify their flesh with those whips and belts of thorns. I loved her brand of observational humor during 'Buying Lipstick', in talking about the terrifying experiences of trying to get lipstick by confronting the Great Dragon at the cosmetics counter. She also showcased a pension for utilizing surreal imagery and poetic language when talking on subjects like 'Castles in the Air' or even 'My Adventure'. What I didn't like was how she essentially put down for deviation during that subject for talking about having a set of wax wings. Although it was
nice for Kenneth to defend Geraldine so admirably, pointing out that she hadn't deviated from the subject and was at liberty to talk about wax wings, and whether or not someone believes that what she was saying is true or not is completely irrelevant. I also loved how I think it was during her final appearance, she was given full reign during the subject of 'My Worst Moment' and spoke from the heart about how unfair she had been treated on the program in the past. Geraldine looked to be set for a long run with the program as it entered the 1970's... unfortunately, she mysteriously disappeared in early 1970, one year before another Jones named Peter was brought onto the program, and she has never been heard from since. This is definitely a real shame because people remember people like Kenneth Williams, Derek Nimmo, Peter Jones and Clement Freud, and even now Sheila Hancock, but no one speaks
with any reverance or fondness or even pays lip service to the early pioneers of the program, like Geraldine Jones. She was the original Jones to appear on the program before Peter, and the fact that no one seems to know anything else about her after her mysterious disappearance is just a crime and a real shame. |

Subject: [just-a-minute] This weeks EpisodeHi all,I am having serious problems with this weeks episode. The one I have downloaded from Radio Downloader wouldn't edit in Audacity but will play fine on everything I have thrown it in. This does mean that's this episode is unedited and has the tail end of the news and a little over run at the end of the show, I hope no one minds this. Secondly Mediafire is down for some reason so I have uploaded it to Rapidshare for now and once Mediafire is up and running again I will duplicate the upload there for continuity.I know RS is a bit of a pain for some but if you don't want to wait it's there and if you don't mind waiting it will be up at mediafire at some point this week I am sure.All The BestPaul--Madness takes it's toll...

Heaping upon them praise upon praise and other accolades... And ruins the whole thing by saying that the panelist in question has leaped forward into 4th or 3rd place or is still in 4th or 3rd place.

Subject: [just-a-minute] This weeks EpisodeHi all,I am having serious problems with this weeks episode. The one I have downloaded from Radio Downloader wouldn't edit in Audacity but will play fine on everything I have thrown it in. This does mean that's this episode is unedited and has the tail end of the news and a little over run at the end of the show, I hope no one minds this. Secondly Mediafire is down for some reason so I have uploaded it to Rapidshare for now and once Mediafire is up and running again I will duplicate the upload there for continuity.I know RS is a bit of a pain for some but if you don't want to wait it's there and if you don't mind waiting it will be up at mediafire at some point this week I am sure.All The BestPaul--Madness takes it's toll...

I find this to be a source of profound annoyance. The way Nicholas builds up this moment after a series of incorrect challenges garner a panelist a lot of points, or when someone has contributed greatly on a subject and is found to be speaking when the whistle goes, he does this big song and dance of how well someone has done. Heaping upon them praise upon praise and other accolades... And ruins the whole thing by saying that the panelist in question has leaped forward into 4th or 3rd place or is still in 4th or 3rd place. This has been a source of some great comedic moments, largely from some of the new breed of panelists who use every chance to take the mickey out of this overused and rather patronizing phrase.
but im curious about how others feel about this. Whats the overall opinion from the fans?
Hello all,
Just for the sake of clarity, those dates are the ISIHAC theatrical tour and not the BBC recordings for the next broadcast series. If anything the likelihood of actual recordings taking place during the period of the theatrical tour is lower due to the obvious resourcing clash.
Cheers

Thanks Don. Obviously that sort of thing is more commonplace in the UK than here in the states. I know that sort of thing is meant to be funny, but I can't really fathom why that's supposed to be funny. perhaps I'm just a bit more sensitive or cynical when it comes to how things can be perceived. cuz, as I've stated, the whole thing just comes off as being a set up for success, and then the rug is pulled out from under you, and you're basically left as Kenneth would say 'omelet cer le visage', which I don't find funny, just humiliating. I guess its because I have a very low tolerance for humiliation. --- On Wed, 9/8/10, Don Judge <don@...> wrote:

Well, regarding the chairman, I have already stated my thoughts and feelings about why I feel Nicholas doesn't make a good chairman on this program innumerable times. The problem I think stems from the fact that as I go back over the years, I continue to find all kinds of little things that fan the flames, if you like, of my overall opinion on Nicholas' unsuitability to be chairman. Sure, he's been chairman of Just a Minute for the last four and a half decades, but look at Fidel Castro. He installed himself as president for life of Cuba, and you can't really say he's doing the people of that island nation any good is he? Which just goes to show that being in a certain job for a long time doesn't necessarily make you any good at it. The main issue regarding Nicholas has to be that he isn't
just content to let the moments of contribution or humor just be, he has to ruin the enjoyment of one and all by sticking his big fat stinking conk into everything with some inane comment that he likes to believe is a demonstration of his sharp wit, when it actuality his commentary comes out all flat and unenjoyable, like a bottle of ginger beer you leave at room temperature without the top on. If you were to read his ferago of a book 'The Straight Man: My Life in Comedy', you can instantly tell that it is a work of utter fiction, or as Nicholas would put it, a 'flight of pure fantasy'. It would have to be, because the anecdotes held within this tome seem to stem from the ramblings of a lunatic. And another thing... *WHISTLE* How'd I do? :) I must be in the lead now!

Subject: [just-a-minute] Re: recording date in SalfordHi Miriam,
About 200 miles north-west of London. It's the twin city with Manchester if that helps you locate it.
The train takes about 150 minutes from London - that gets you into central Manchester and then you can take a tram to the Lowry direct from the train station.
Depending on when you want to travel you can get the train for around £40 (about $61) by booking in advance and travelling off-peak but if you have to pay full fare then it's closer to £240 (about $370).

Subject: [just-a-minute] Re: recording date in SalfordHi Miriam,
About 200 miles north-west of London. It's the twin city with Manchester if that helps you locate it.
The train takes about 150 minutes from London - that gets you into central Manchester and then you can take a tram to the Lowry direct from the train station.
Depending on when you want to travel you can get the train for around £40 (about $61) by booking in advance and travelling off-peak but if you have to pay full fare then it's closer to £240 (about $370).
Cheers

Subject: Re: [just-a-minute] Re: recording date in SalfordI'm bored on a Friday night, so I looked this ridiculous question up. The answer is 'long' (your only option involves the Trans-Siberian Railroad), and you have to get yourself to Ho Chi Minh City.
HCMC -> Hanoi: ~34 hrs
Hanoi -> Beijing: ~42 hrs (includes 3hr layover in Dong Dang at the border)
Beijing -> Moscow: ~151 hrs (just under a week!)
Moscow -> Köln -> Brussels -> London: ~63 hrs (this trip is well-documented)
Total: ~290 hrs, plus changing trains and whatnot, and then the train to Manchester (another 2-ish hrs, which should be peanuts by this point). You could maybe do it in two weeks (336 hrs), but why not take your time and stop off along the way?
It's also possible to train it from Singapore to Bangkok and thence take a short bus jaunt into Vietnam, or take a cruise ship (cargo ship?) from Sydney to Hong Kong or Singapore, but you're on your own for those. This page may be useful: http://www.seat61.com/Australia-overland.htm
Oh dear, I'm geeking out on the wrong material for this list, aren't I?

Subject: Re: [just-a-minute] Re: leaping forward... into 4th placeHi Guys,
Yes, sure Nicholas isn't a good Chairman. But do we want a good Chairman? They never say he's the only Chairman we ever had, because he's not. A few others did the job for a change. I recall Kenneth was hopelessly confused and totally unfunny and indeed a bad chairman. Clement was authoritarian and humourless and if I recall correctly wrong on occasion. Sure Nicholas has had many cringeworthy moments. And sometimes these end up being excellent comedy. Like the fabled herbaceous border incident, where Paul challenged Clement when Clem stupidly said his herbaceous border could outwit an opponent. And Nic opposed the challenge stating that it was quite possible for a herbaceous border to outwit another. I laughed and laughed at that.
And would JAM be the same without the merciless taunts from Paul and Sue about his past as a drag queen on the docks, or in the slums of the east end or whatever.....I love those moments. I think the fans do to and that's why, as a special treat, they stick in a subject containing the word Chairman every so often.
I wonder if Dean has compiled statistics on wrong challenges incorrectly awarded, or correct challenges turned down (only those unintentional errors would count). I am sure if we regard Nic as bad for awarding points and the subject for a wrong challenge then we could equally become annoyed with Clem say, for making all those wrong challenges (e.g. challenging for words when they are, in fact, slightly different).
Anyway, the last message I sent disappeared. I will have to copy before I press send to ensure I have it should my Yahoo session time out.

Subject: Re: [just-a-minute] Re: leaping forward... into 4th place
Well, regarding the chairman, I have already stated my thoughts and feelings about why I feel Nicholas doesn't make a good chairman on this program innumerable times. The problem I think stems from the fact that as I go back over the years, I continue to find all kinds of little things that fan the flames, if you like, of my overall opinion on Nicholas' unsuitability to be chairman. Sure, he's been chairman of Just a Minute for the last four and a half decades, but look at Fidel Castro. He installed himself as president for life of Cuba, and you can't really say he's doing the people of that island nation any good is he? Which just goes to show that being in a certain job for a long time doesn't necessarily make you any good at it. The main issue regarding Nicholas has to be that he isn't just content to let the moments of contribution or humor just be, he has to ruin the enjoyment of one and all by sticking his big fat stinking conk into everything with some inane comment that he likes to believe is a demonstration of his sharp wit, when it actuality his commentary comes out all flat and unenjoyable, like a bottle of ginger beer you leave at room temperature without the top on. If you were to read his ferago of a book 'The Straight Man: My Life in Comedy', you can instantly tell that it is a work of utter fiction, or as Nicholas would put it, a 'flight of pure fantasy'. It would have to be, because the anecdotes held within this tome seem to stem from the ramblings of a lunatic. And another thing... *WHISTLE*How'd I do? :) I must be in the lead now! I must be in the lead now!

The way Nicholas builds up this moment after a series of incorrect challenges garner a panelist a lot of points, or when someone has contributed greatly on a subject and is found to be speaking when the whistle goes, he does this big song and dance of how well someone has done. Heaping upon them praise upon praise and other accolades... And ruins the whole thing by saying that the panelist in question has leaped forward into 4th or 3rd place or is still in 4th or 3rd place. This has been a source of some great comedic moments, largely from some of the new breed of panelists who use every chance to take the mickey out of this overused and rather patronizing phrase.

I still have 2 nights the comedy store with paul

those are some of my favorite moments, I agree. but this isn't to say we should have a competent chairman. at the very least we should have an ENTERTAINING chairman, which sure as hell isn't Nicholas in my view. --- On Sat, 9/18/10, Oz <j_a_m_fan@...> wrote: |

"Gyles Brandreth tells the tale of one of the most influential people you've never heard of - his great great grandfather, Benjamin. It's a story that takes us from Liverpool in the 1830s to New York, with a cast of hucksters, quacks, politicians, millionaires, and medics -- not to mention the founders of tabloid journalism and mass advertising. Benjamin Brandreth set sail from Liverpool in 1835 with nothing. By the time of his death in 1887 he was a New York senator, a landowner, the owner of one of New York's biggest hotels, and one of the richest men in the country. He had invented the giant billboard, financed Gordon Bennett's yellow press and developed mass advertising. How? Brandreth's vegetable pills! They were a powerful laxative. Brandreth claimed they could cure almost anything, he spent a fortune on advertising, and people believed him."

> Generally speaking you can get the best train fares going direct to the train company as they can offer special fares. In this case the major train operator is Virgin at http://www.virgintrains.co.uk The decent thing here is that they offer a service where you can buy a ticket and print it out at home. That can be cheaper and would mean you can print your tickets before you leave home and save having to collect them in London. Look at the bottom of their website for e-tickets.

> There is another company running trains from London to Manchester - London Midland at http://www.londonmidland.com They don't run many trains (I think three a day each way as compared to two per hour for Virgin) and they're slower but they're cheaper.
>
> Whatever you do, check the ticket conditions. Most cheap tickets are for the booked train only. Look for tickets containing the word Advance for this sort of ticket. If you miss your train, you have to buy another (more expensive) ticket so you need to be sure you can make the train before booking it. Off-peak don't pin you to a train but have restrictions on when you can travel. Open tickets get you on any train but are expensive. Standard class is fine for most people but if you fancy pampering and a "free" meal then First Class is an option.

> The rail journey you need is London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly. Once in Manchester, you can get the tram from underneath Piccadilly station to Harbour City and then it's a half-mile walk to the Lowry.

> This sort of thing can be confusing and intimidating for those of us who are used to the system so please don't be afraid to ask.
