Just A Minute

Someone mentioned the Radio Four promo for Just A Minute that was being filmed but I haven’t seen anyone mention the panel for this non-programme – Paul Merton, Sheila Hancock, Gyles Brandreth, Marcus Brigstocke and Clive Anderson with Nicholas Parsons. If there’s anyone on the list who attended, I’d be interested to hear how it worked with five panellists.

 

Still it’s an interesting panel. Perhaps some others refused to front for something that was just a promo, but it’s interesting that Marcus was there – could he be appearing more often in the future. And of course Clive Anderson, a Radio Four regular and a man with a skill with words, a sharp wit, and someone who is so good at banter, you might feel he should already have done many JAMs. I’d love to see him in the next season.
