It's interesting to know that's Kenneth's mother. I may go back and
listen to the episode question; I seem to recall enjoying that one.

I love Just a Minute, both the classic and modern era, but there's a
quality to those classic episodes when they're at their best that just
can't be recreated. Something about the style of the show, maybe.
It'll make me laugh, but at the same time, I might learn something,
and the banter between the regulars is obviously that of four people
who know each other very well indeed.

As I've been listening to the show again, in order, and I've found
myself slowing down as I reach the point at which Kenneth died. It's
partly to savour his appearances, but it's also weird emotions, it's
strange to listen to those last couple of seasons and to know it's the
man's last work before his very sad death, and to know the turning
point that it marks for the show.
