Nicholas Parsons introduces four archive episodes of the ever-popular comedy panel game
28 October 1968
29 May 1979
24 September 1983
11 January 1992
Just as uproariously funny - and terrifically popular - today as when it first began on BBC Radio 4 in I968, Just a Minute challenges contestants to speak for one minute on a given subject without repetition, hesitation or deviation.
Its mix of irreverent fun and ferocious competition has always attracted stellar names from the world of comedy and theatre, all of whom pit their wits - and their wit — against
regular players including Kenneth Williams, Clement Freud, Derek Nimmo, Peter Jones and Paul Merton . Among the guests in these four archive programmes are Peter Cook, Barry Took, Victoria Wood, Wendy Richard and Stephen Fry.
Nicholas Parsons , who has been at the helm of the series since it began, as chairman and occasionally as player, introduces this sparkling quartet of editions and provides fascinating background information on the game, as well as memories of its players and its devisor, Ian Messiter .

Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
