An Hour of "Just a Minute" is too Short - By: George McAdams, 25 Feb 2003
As a fan of "Just a Minute," who until recently only got to listen to the show via shortwave, I had heard that one would soon be able to buy tapes of the show. This audio package contains four shows, two that featuring the late Peter Jones, who in his classic befuddled style caused one to laugh so hard at his gentle humor that you forgot the sadness in his passing. In the first of the other two shows you had Julian Clary, Clement Freud, Linda Smith & Simon Jones in what I must profess is the most unusual match I had ever heard of the show. The contestants actuallly got rather testy at times so much so that Linda Smith began yelling out, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The second show included Greg Proops, an American with a rather strange accent (he said he had his root in the south, via San Francisco, but his humor was via San Francisco & that could explain some things) & Graham Norton, who was actuallly rather quiet, except when he spoke, which might sound confusing, but then again, maybe I have been listening to his logic too much & somehow this makes sense.

Whatever the case, this fourth installlment of "Just a Minute" is well worth my having it shipped to me in the USA. I just wish there were more of the tapes available now that the BBC no longer broadcasts shortwave signals to English speaking countries.


Just a brilliant show! - By: , 16 Sep 2001
Another brilliant cassette of the Radio 4 show! My personal favourite has to be the one with Stephen Fry who is quick witted & even manages to get some friendly jibes in about Nicholas Parsons. This is laugh out loud funny & if you like radio 4 comedy you are bound to love it. Clement Freud & Paul Merton are regulars & give consistently high performances.
Well More Than A Laugh A Minute! - By: olifarago@mail.com, 04 May 2001
The talented panel of players of this game deliver much more than a laugh a minute. This is a Radio 4 classic not to be missed.
Magical moments in radio comedy. - By: csv@kerridge.com, 23 Jan 2001
With four fantastic recordings of this great show, it's a guaranteed 2 hours of gut busting laughter. I must however point out for the sake of safety that listening whilst driving is to be avoided at alll costs, it's that good.
