Just A Minute is 50 years old this year! Nicholas Parsons has been hosting since day one, and continues to host with skill and panache! This week our panellists are Paul Merton, Shelia Hancock, Tom Allen and Gyles Brandreth, who will endeavour to talk on a given subject for sixty seconds without repetition, hesitation or deviation.
Find out what Paul Merton's best chat up line is! How much does Sheila Hancock know about Queen Victoria? What isn't Gyles Brandreth's cup of tea and can Tom Allen get his first full minute?
Beverly Tagg blows the whistle and it was produced by Matt Stronge.
