OK then, here goes...

At the moment it has to be Paul Merton because he is so unpredictable
and as surreal as a fish on a bicycle (actually I did once see an
elephant on tricyle!!!)...

Paul Merton, Marcus Brigstocke, Peter Jones and Richard Murdoch
becuase I just think they would be so much fun together. But if you
asked me this question tomorrow or next week I would have a
completely different answer as it depends what shows I've been
listening to lately. Come to think of it I listened to some good
shows recently with Charles Collingwood. I like *most* of the people
that have been on JAM and the only person I dislike and think twice
about listening to a show if I know she is in it is Wendy Richard.
Sorry folks I just can't abide her...

From the new people on Just A Minute I would like to hear Marcus
Brigstocke become a regular, if Paul Merton is the new Kenneth
Williams then Brigstocke is surely the new Merton. Also more Charles
Collingwood please. And what is that Irish lady? I think she is
good in her rounds but perhaps she should keep her mouth a bit shut
when it isn't her round...

It was very entertaining and was waiting for the next episode all
week...

show together....

Williams would have been outshone by Merton...

I don't know about funniest moment *ever* but this last week I was
listening in bed to some recent episodes and in one Clement Freud was
talking about triplets and said one off them was identical - a
panelist buzzed in to say deviation as two of them had to be
identical. Nicholas just didn't get it as the panel tried to explain
to him. I nearly fell out of bed laughing...

> 7. The reason I love listening to Just a Minute is...

No two shows are the same, nothing is predictable unlike much comedy
on the radio which seems 'formulaic' these days...

>
> 8. If you've been to a Just a Minute recording, tell us about it!

Unfortunately not though I did have tickets to the recording in
Chester a few years back and was working teaching a night class which
I couldn't get out of so had to give them to a colleague... And I
only just found out last week that there was a recording in the
theatre (in Mold) within walking distance of my home two years back!!!

> 9. If you've ever played Just a Minute yourself, tell us about it!

I was first introduced to JAM by a school teacher and we played it
often in class. I went to boarding school and during my final year
the people in my dormitory would often play it of an evening too. I
was some years later that I actually heard it on the radio...

When at school I used to be able to do a good impression of Doctor
Magnus Pyke. I wouldn't call him a *star* but he did do some
episodes in the mid-1970s...

Isaan, and there's a Bonus Point for anyone who knows what Isaan is...

1) I come from Wales...
