This selection of four more editions of Just a Minute includes the Sony award-winning programme from 2002, plus three from the first series of 2003. Nicholas Parsons once again attempts to keep control over the proceedings, as well as over panellists Clement Freud, Paul Merton, Tony Hawks, Julian Clary, Pam Ayres (making her debut on the show), Graham Norton, Kit Hesketh-Harvey, Ross Noble, Steve Frost and Charles Collingwood as they pit their wits – and their words – against the clock.

As the players attempt to speak for sixty seconds without repetition, deviation or hesitation, the subjects covered range from The Wombles and Husbands to What Goes on Backstage and Flat Stomachs. Eloquence, wit, imagination and a sharp ear are the qualities required for the game, and the hilarious results are here for all to enjoy.
