Just A Minute – BBC Radio Show

Just A Minute – BBC Radio Show
Just a Minute is a BBC Radio 4 radio comedy panel game which has been broadcast since 22 December 1967 and is hosted by Nicholas Parsons. It began in the year that Radio 4 launched, and is one of the station’s longest running programmes. Just a Minute won a Gold Sony Radio Academy Award in 2003.
The object of the game is for panellists to talk “for just a minute” on a given subject, “without repetition, hesitation or deviation”. The game comes from attempts to try to keep within these rules, which whilst they appear to be simple, are very hard not to break. To speak for the full minute without being challenged is extremely difficult, and meritorious when achieved.
