Nicholas Parsons is joined by panellists Paul Merton, Julian Clary, Tony Hawks and Zoe Lyons, who tackle topics such as 'A Brief Encounter' and 'Beside the Seaside'.
Nicholas Parsons and guests return for the 76th series of the panel show where participants must try to speak for 60 seconds without hesitation, deviation or repetition. No repetition? That's no small order after nearly 50 years.
Paul Merton, now the second most prolific player of the game after Kenneth Williams, is joined by Julian Clary, Tony Hawks and Zoe Lyons and will be tackling topics such as 'Let them eat cake', 'A Brief Encounter', but get sidetracked by a debate on chips.
Hayley Sterling blows the whistle.
