Four laughter-filled editions of the long-running and much-loved BBC Radio 4 panel video game chaired by Nicholas Parsons

In this collection of episodes, the interesting players brave more than enough to employ their wits and ingenuity against both the clock and their competitors are Paul Merton, Julian Clary, Sheila Hancock, Josh Widdicombe, Gyles Brandreth, Fern Britton, Jenny Eclair and Kerry Godliman.

As usually, the name of the game is to speak for just one minute on a given subject without falling foul of about Just a Minute: Best of 2019: 4 episodes from the much-loved BBC Radio comedy game hesitation, repetition or deviation.

Fingertips on buzzers please, as we play Only a Minute!
