Four basic episodes of the favorite BBC Radio 4 -panel game.

5 January 1977/8 January 1980/11 March 1980/23 June 1988

Nicholas Parsons chairs four archive episodes from the evergreen BBC Radio 4 comedy panel video game, featuring the four first regular players of the overall game: Clement Freud, Peter Jones, Derek Nimmo and Kenneth Williams. These specially selected episodes, all released for the very first time, start to see the formidable foursome squaring up to eachother in a battle of wits – and wit.

Because they endeavour to avoid each other from speaking for the full minute, topics introduced – and swiftly dismissed – include Bath Evening, Donald Duck, Getting back in a Frenzy, Gooey Buns, My Accolade, The MostPleasing City I’VE Visited, Getting Uptight and Poppadoms.

Camaraderie, competition and brilliant banter are the order of the day, while these sparkling raconteurs come out with a few of their finest andfunniest lines and demonstrate their quick thinking and wonderful method with words. Full of comic gems and irreverent fun, these four traditional shows certainly are a delight to hear.
