Only a Minute began in BBC Radio 4 in 1967 and has become a classic panel game which is still popular on Radio 4 today. Guests need to chat for 60 seconds on topics ranging from ‘My Ticklish Bit’ to ‘Eating Winkles’ without repetition, deviation or hesitation. As ever, the Chairman can be suave but embattled Nicholas Parsons. Panellists are Peter Jones, Derek Nimmo, Paul Merton, Fred MacAulay, Graham Norton, Tim Rice, Linda Smith, Julian Clary, Jenny Eclair, Clement Freud, Stephen Frost and Tony Hawks. These four shows were documented in Bath, Edinburgh, Brighton and Sheffield, with the latter show being Derek Nimmo’s last appearance on Only a Minute.
