Some bits from Richard Herring's twitter after the show, with contributions from fellow JAMmers Josie Lawrence and Rebecca Front...

Josie Lawrence: Great fun recording Just A Minute tonight.

Richard Herring: lovely to work with you. A huge fan of you (and everyone tonight). Thanks for being a great table mate!

Josie: A pleasure to sit next to you - you're smashing. x

Richard: Recorded 2 eps of Just A Minute tonight. Always terrified I will break it by being rubbish, but it's robust enough to cope! Paul Merton, Josie Lawrence, an extraordinarily witty Sheila Hancock and a poorly Nick Parsons who was a bloody trooper. I liked it when NP said shit, probably won't be on the radio, I said "special porridge", that might be. Best thing is the chat in the dressing room afterwards. Merton and Parsons chat about those they've worked with, comedy fanboy dream. This show is comedy history. Appearing on it every now and again is one of my absolutely favourite things about my job

Chem 2006: remember listening to it as a kid in my dad's car. Kenneth Williams...just a genius at it.

Richard: yup. He was my fave too.

Richard: Spoiler - still to manage a full minute. Doing well in one round tonight, but tripped at about 40 secs

Gary Percival: Do you practice beforehand or can you just do 'stream of consciousness'?

Richard: no real way to practise. Even if you knew subjects it wouldn't really help. Just got to launch in and hope for the best.

Fiona Plowman: when is it due to be broadcast?

Richard: Easter-ish I think

Anthony Cooke: the last time you were on I laughed so hard I nearly crashed on the M56.

Richard: I will try harder to kill you next time

Piers Cawley: I’m sure you weren’t rubbish. Can’t remember, was that your first go?

Richard: nope done about 10 now! Gets a bit easier

Peter Robinson: do you practice? If cocks is a topic you will storm it.

Richard: you can't really practise. Wouldn't even be a help if you knew subjects. Throw yourself in, hope for the best

Sierra Charlie: Are you a Merton-like fast talker; Freudesque slow, anecdotal and listy; Williams word-stretcher or your own man???

Richard: think I go quite fast. And then crash and burn. Merton is amazing

Rebecca Front: it's weirdly, unnervingly difficult, isn't it? X

Richard: getting slightly easier with time. slightly! Love it and fear it. Lovely panel tonight though. Sometimes forgot I was in it!

Rebecca: yes! I kept thinking 'ah, I love this show...', then 'oh damn, what am I supposed to do again?' Xx

Richard: I laughed more tonight than I made laughs! Still too nervous to ask Merton to be on RHLSTP to his face (have emailed his people!)

Brian: I love Josie Lawrence.

Richard: who doesn't? And she's just as lovely in real life!
