Just A Minute 4

A compilation from the radio panel game chaired by Nicholas Parsons, in which the contestants attempt to talk on specified subjects for sixty seconds without hesitation, repetition or deviation. Seconds out, let timely battle commence. It's much, much more than a laugh a minute. Panellists pitting their wits, and their words, against the clock include Jenny Eclair, Clement Freud, Stephen Frost, Tony Hawks, Peter Jones, Fred MacAulay, Paul Merton, Derek Nimmo, Graham Norton, Tim Rice and Linda Smith.

Reviews

Gripping and entertaining.

—— Sunday World

Ireland's number-one statesman.

—— Irish Post

Stuart Maconie is the best thing to come out of Wigan since the A58 to Bolton

—— Peter Kay

An heir to Alan Bennett ... stirring and rather wonderful

—— Antony Quinn , Sunday Times

If you only read one personal music odyssey, make it this one

—— GQ

Witty and wise, with more good lines than the Angel of the North

—— Hunter Davies

A working class boy who now, on air, challenges Stephen Fry's spry wit, Maconie celebrates his younger self modestly and fluently, pausing only for regular rib-ticklers

—— Mojo

Maconie makes a jovial, self-deprecating narrator. Sharp and funny

—— Guardian

Exuberantly anecdotal, witty and poignant

—— GQ
