WELCOME TO JUST A MINUTE! starring DEREK NIMMO, CLEMENT FREUD, PETER JONES and NICHOLAS PARSONS, chaired by KENNETH WILLIAMS (Radio, 15 October 1983)
NOTE: Nicholas Parsons' last appearance as a panellist, Kenneth Williams' last appearance as chairman. THEME MUSIC ANNOUNCER: We present Kenneth Williams, Clement Freud, Derek Nimmo and Peter Jones in Just A Minute. And as the Minute Waltz fades away here to tell you all about it is our chairman Nicholas Parsons. NICHOLAS PARSONS: Thank you, thank you very much. Hello and welcome to Just A Minute. And as you’ve just heard we have our four regular players of the game who are going to compete against each other as usual, and try and speak for Just A Minute without hesitation, repetition, or deviating from that subject. Now in the last series, many weeks ago, we changed for fun the order. And this week we thought we would change the flavour a little. And as Kenneth Williams regularly criticises me for the decisions I make as chairman, we’re going to ask him to sit in my seat, and see how he does, and I’m nobly... CHEERS FROM THE AUDIENCE KENNETH WILLIAMS: How do you do. Thank you very much indeed and welcome to Just A Minute, chaired by the one and only, the brilliant, the incomparable, Kenneth put-him-on-the-mantelpiece Williams! And we begin with Nicholas Parsons. And the subject is miller. Would you speak for 60 seconds on miller starting now. NP: The miller that comes to my mind is a fellow called Andy Miller who I met on Clydebank when I went up there at the beginning of the war to begin an apprenticeship as an engineer... BUZZ DEREK NIMMO: Question, which war? NP: The Boer War! DN: Well you said it! KW: Look here, that wasn’t a proper challenge. That wasn’t a proper challenge so Nicholas gets a point. Will you put a point down. And will you continue, will you continue with the subject, there are 40 seconds, will you continue with the subject of miller for 40 seconds starting now. NP: This fellow Miller was a pure Glaswegian from Clydebank, and when I arrived he said “oh Nick...” BUZZ KW: What’s the challenge now? DN: Repetition of Clydebank. We had Clydebank said twice, Mister Chairman. KW: Oh I’m afraid you did say it before Nicholas. NP: Yes because he interrupted me. KW: There remains what, 45, 45 seconds remain? IAN MESSITER: Mmmm, 45. KW: Forty-five seconds remains for you on miller starting now. DN: Joe Miller would break The Wits Vade Mecum... BUZZ KW: What was the challenge? NP: Hesitation. KW: Hesitation I’m afraid, that was so. You get the subject back, with less than 45 seconds on miller starting now. NP: Miller said to me (in deep Glaswegian brogue) “I don’t want you to come up here, it’s all right for you, you come up from the south here, I’m not going to (brogue becomes deeper and incomprehensible) BUZZ NP: (continues Glaswegian gibberish, and then in normal voice) And that’s why he can understand as well as talk about it. KW: There’s been a challenge I’m afraid, there’s been a challenge from Derek. What was your challenge? DN: Repetition of Och! KW: Och! Yes I can’t allow och because after all, it was such a peculiarly involved dialect that I couldn’t single out anything wrong there. So you have 20 seconds on the subject of miller starting now. NP: Miller is also the name of the man who grinds corn with those huge circular stones. It can be done in different ways as well... BUZZ KW: Who’s the challenge now? CLEMENT FREUD: Me. KW: What are you challenging on? CF: Hesitation. KW: Hesitation. CF: Yes. KW: Did you hesitate, Nicholas? NP: Yes. KW: Oh you did. No question about that. NP: I want to show how generous and magnanimous I can be in spite of the way he treated me when he was the chairman of Just A Minute a long time ago. KW: Your behaviour is most commendable, I’ve no question of that. It’s very commendable. But the subject goes to Clement Freud, miller starting now. CF: I would like to say that the Miller to whom Nicholas Parsons was apprentice at Clydebank has much to answer for. If ever a man had an opportunity of doing away with someone who has been a great bane in our lives... WHISTLE KW: Yes so who’s winning? Oh nobody’s winning, no, the two in the lead are Nicholas and Clement. And the next subject is yours Clement, fun with snails starting now. CF: If you want to have fun with snails, you need quite a lot of time in which to enjoy them. You ask a snail to climb up a lamppost and then go out for breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea, and by the time you return there’s every hope that the illumination which I mentioned before, and can therefore not say again, will have been reached and climbed, at the top of which the snail... BUZZ NP: I’m regretting this, he said climb before... KW: No, he said climbed. NP: And climbed yes yes. It was climbed this time and climb before. KW: So why are you challenging though? It’s so silly! You’re silly interrupting him! NP: I know! KW: He was doing so well! Go on Clement, you continue with fun with snails as from now. CF: Maybe the greatest fun can be had by eating them. Quite simply, sticking them in the oven with a lot of garlic and butter and parsley, and then getting a silver dish which could also be made of aluminium or other metals... BUZZ KW: Who’s challenged now? Peter, Peter Jones why have you challenged? PETER JONES: You can’t, because you can’t have a silver dish which is also made of aluminium and other metals. It wouldn’t be a silver dish if it was. KW: The handles, as he pointed out, could be made of it, the handles! PJ: The handles’ made of what? KW: He knows what’s he talking about, the man is a culinary expert, you great nana! Ridiculous! I’ve never heard anything like it! You continue with the subject... PJ: What was he talking about for aluminium for then? KW: With 20 seconds, you have the subject of fun with snails starting now. CF: Escargot or (speaks French) is how the French would term fun with snails. Schnecken is the German expression for the word, and not very nice they are when you get them in Berlin, especially in Potsdam, where restaurants take great pride in serving you these foul, rubbery chewing gum like insects... WHISTLE KW: Very good... PJ: Snails... KW: That has put Clement Freud with a number of points commandingly in the lead. And the next subject goes to Peter Jones and you must talk on the Blarney stone for 60 seconds starting now. PJ: Well last year I happened to be in Ireland, and I visited Cork. And some friends took me out to Blarney which is a small town not very far away. Very disappointing I thought. I didn’t actually get to see the stone itself which is the centrepiece really, I suppose, of this place. It’s a sort of magnet for all the people around, visitors, tourists and whatnot. But it’s full of rather boring shops with Donegal tweed, Waterford glass and things of that kind, Irish honey, whisky and so forth... BUZZ KW: Who challenged? NP: I don’t think there’s anything boring about Waterford glass and Irish whisky. I think they’re very exciting and exotic things... KW: That may well be your opinion. But Peter Jones has another opinion, and he’s entitled to express it! Yes! Disgraceful! You continue with the subject, you may find it boring, you may find it diverting, but you continue with the subject, you have just over 30 seconds for the Blarney stone starting now. PJ: I was very disappointed because the main object of going there... BUZZ KW: A challenge there, you’ve been challenged by Derek, I’m afraid. DN: Repetition sir, of disappointed, sir. KW: Did you say disappointed? PJ: No! Of course I didn’t. DN: He was very disappointed when he saw the town, now he was very disappointed again just then. KW: Oh well I’m afraid Peter, that is fair enough yes. Well you have 35 seconds Derek for the Blarney stone starting now. DN: The Blarney stone in Blarney Castle is in fact some 40 feet from the ground. And to actually kiss it, which is what you’re supposed to do, needs to be... quite athletic to... BUZZ KW: A lot of buzzers there, seemed to come from Clement Freud. I think Clement Freud was the first. CF: Hesitation. KW: Hesitation, yes. I’m afraid so. You have the subject, you speak for 15 seconds on the Blarney stone starting now. CF: I’ve never quite understood why people wanted to kiss the Blarney stone. They could hug it, they could take it out for tea... BUZZ KW: Nicholas. NP: I don’t think you could take the Blarney stone out for tea. I don’t think you could move it, and certainly you wouldn’t enjoy the tea if you took it. KW: Yes I think that is deviation. NP: Oh what a marvellous chairman! Isn’t he a wonderful chairman! KW: Yes so that is deviation... NP: Oh lackaday! KW: You have 12 seconds on the Blarney stone starting now. NP: (in Irish accent) Well I remember when I was last in Ireland, they said you must kiss the Blarney stone. Because all of us over here, we just know how to talk about it. That’s the whole thing, that you’ve been over there to Cork, and you’ve been down there, but you haven’t... WHISTLE KW: Yes well some marks were achieved there, but I’m afraid Clement Freud still has a commanding lead. The subject now goes to Derek, calculators, will you speak on that subject for 60 seconds, calculators starting now. DN: Well I have a calculator and I find it extraordinarily useful. How you can persuade children to learn mathematics at school today, when they can find all the answers they require, or nearly all that they want, on one of these little machines. Because all you do is press a little button... BUZZ KW: Yes Clement Freud has challenged. CF: Four alls. KW: Alls, yes, there was two alls yes. You have the subject of calculators with... DN: Does that mean, does that mean... KW: ... 45 seconds starting now! CF: I am almost unique in having bought a calculator when it first came on the market, at 75 pounds. And over the year it has become cheaper and ever less expensive, until you may now pay something like 87 P, and get something which may not work very well, but my goodness it is cheap! And I do... BUZZ KW: A challenge from Nick, yes? NP: I thought he packed in then. KW: Yes, I agree, you have 25 seconds for calculators starting now. NP: I understand that children can now take these into their examination classes... BUZZ KW: Oh a challenge from Clement. CF: You understand wrongly! NP: Oh no! Because my child has done it and they’ve been... DN: Your child is a cheat! And I’m not surprised! CF: Your child is also too old to go to school. NP: He goes to college, he goes to college. CF: I know them both. DN: He was conceived during the Boer War! CF: The gestation period of the Parsons’ is long! NP: It doesn’t matter whether I’m in the panel or in the chair, they all have a go at me, don’t they! SHOUTS OF “OHHHHH” FROM THE AUDIENCE NP: Ohhhhh! KW: Yes I think... DN: They’re walking out, people are walking out! KW: I think the challenge, I’m afraid I think... PJ: Some are running! KW: Definitely, have you got definite knowledge about these things not being allowed in examination periods, Clement? I mean have you real knowledge about this? CF: It depends on the examination. KW: I see! Then it is not a rule, there is not a general rule. CF: There is no general rule. KW: Then you have the subject... PJ: If you’re being examined for rheumatism, naturally you won’t have a calculator! KW: Would you please not interrupt a very distinguished chairman! Please! PJ: When’s he arriving? KW: Nick, now you have 15 seconds, 15 seconds with you on calculators starting now. NP: And now if you calculate who are the most important cult figures of our time, the first one who comes to mind is undoubtedly Kenneth Williams, our chairman this week, taking over my role. But to get back to the subject of children... BUZZ DN: The subject is not children. He said get back to the subject of... NP: Of children and calculators in schools, which is what I was talking about! DN: It’s not what you said. CF: No, no. DN: It’s not what you said. You’re lying! KW: No, he can get back to the, he can get back to the... CF: No, no, no, no, no. KW: ... subject you see, that he was on before, it doesn’t necessarily have to be the subject on the card... CF: No, no, no. KW: ... if it was in the course of... CF: No, no. KW: I allow that. DN: He was talking about... KW: You now have five seconds on calculators starting now. NP: I think that... BUZZ CF: Hesitation. NP: Hesitation, did you hesitate Nicholas? NP: No! KW: Oh you didn’t? Very well then you have four seconds for calculators starting now. NP: Calculators should not... BUZZ KW: Who was that challenging? PJ: Hesitation! KW: Hesitation, did you hesitate? NP: No. KW: Oh well I don’t believe it then. Now you have three seconds on calculators starting now. NP: Calculators... BUZZ DN: Hesitation. PJ: There must be something in it if everybody thinks so! DN: we can hear it! I think the trouble is you’re a big cult! KW: You have two seconds for calculators starting now. NP: Calculators are those little machines which you press the buttons... BUZZ KW: Take no notice, continue with the subject. DN: Deviation! BUZZ KW: Yes? NP: Calculators... WHISTLE KW: There was a lot of, there was a lot of mischief making then from the panel and I don’t want any more of it! It’s very very very naughty! Now the next subject, yes oh I see, Nicholas has leapt into the lead! Oh it’s outrageous isn’t it, he’s got 11 points! Disgraceful! Nicholas, it’s your subject, the Garden of Eden, 60 seconds starting now. NP: The Garden of Eden appears in the second... BUZZ KW: Derek? DN: Mister Chairman, why is he not speaking with a funny voice? LOUD LAUGHTER FROM CF, PJ AND THE AUDIENCE KW: Derek! Derek I must warn you, I’m in charge here, I will not allow this kind of levity! DN: Oh sorry! KW: It’s disgraceful! DN: Sorry, Mister Chairman I retract. KW: Now... PJ: He’s used up his repertoire! KW: Now you have 55 seconds, for the subject, the Garden of Eden starting now. NP: The second book of Genesis refers to the Garden of Eden... BUZZ KW: Clement Freud. CF: There isn’t a second book of Genesis. KW: I see. What book is it? CF: The first book, there is a book of Genesis. KW: I see, that is fair enough. Therefore you have 55 seconds for the subject of the Garden of Eden starting now. CF: Gria Savarois who was a great French writer and philosopher said “oh children of Eden, who gave it all up for an apple, what might they not have done, for a partridge stuffed with prunes, macerated in brandy”. And I think that... LOUD LAUGHTER FROM DN, PJ AND THE AUDIENCE BUZZ CF: I think I’ll probably stop there! KW: A challenge from Nicholas, why did you challenge? NP: Well he stopped actually after prunes. KW: Yes he was provoked you see. They were, the pair of them on that side, I watched them! They were laughing and banging the table... PJ: I wasn’t laughing or banging the table! KW: ... like a pair of naughty, naughty schoolboys. NP: We weren’t banging the table! KW: I expect better behaviour in the sixth! It’s disgraceful and you continue with the subject Clement starting now. CF: It was an absolutely terrific place. And there were two people who I think were called Adam, and later Eve. Conceived by someone whose name escapes me. And they had an enormously enjoyable time, first of all getting to know each other, and later going out into the world, and begatting a substantial number of people... BUZZ KW: Yes Nicholas? NP: I don’t think they begat a substantial number, I think it was just Cain and Abel. That’s all that’s recorded, I agree, I’ve made a mistake about... KW: He didn’t mean that they did it as themselves. He means that they were the source for masses of begetting... NP: He didn’t say that! He didn’t say that! KW: That’s what he meant and that’s what he meant, he acknowledged it to me... CF: That’s what begat means. KW: And he keeps the subject. NP: He said they enjoyed themselves and it was the enjoyment of their begatting that... KW: Of the Garden of Eden and he starts now. CF: On the subject of begatting, which happened in the Garden of Eden, the Parsons family also went in for that sort of thing. And had... BUZZ KW: Nicholas? NP: Well I haven’t been in the Garden of Eden and it was Derek established it was during the Boer War I did my begatting! And um... KW: So it’s devious then? NP: It’s utterly devious yes. KW: Right you have the subject then, five seconds on the subject of the Garden of Eden, starting now. NP: Why they gave this subject to me, I suppose, is because they think it’s a Parsons one. And er... WHISTLE KW: Very good! Very good indeed! Yes I’m afraid your faces will all drop when I tell you that Nicholas Parsons is so, so much in the lead that not many of you have much of a chance! The next subject goes to Clement Freud. Would you speak for 60 seconds on the world’s greatest picture starting now. CF: The world’s greatest picture is quite undoubtedly in the eyes of the beholder. And Kenneth Williams, asked that selfsame question, would presumably say it is a cult figure in Great Portland Street, known as Kenneth Williams, aged 60... BUZZ KW: Yes what is your challenge Derek? DN: Repetition of Kenneth Williams. NP: Of Kenneth Williams. KW: Yes I’m afraid so, the subject goes to Derek, you have 45 seconds on the world’s greatest picture starting now. DN: The world’s greatest picture for me is without doubt, ET. Who has not been beguiled by that wonderful little monster. Gosh it’s fun, isn’t it. Did you see him come down from the spaceship, get out, wander through the trees. And everybody’s looking for it, a man with keys hanging down his back. And there is this... great picture... BUZZ KW: Yes I’m sorry that was a challenge from Clement? What is your challenge? CF: Hesitation. KW: Hesitation, oh did you hesitate? Well as they say... DN: Well I was... KW: ... he who hesitates is lost then. You were lost there. So the subject goes to Clement, you have 35 seconds for the world’s greatest picture starting now. CF: A Star Is Born is a picture which I was incredibly fond of, especially as it was made three times. The first time was Janet Gates... BUZZ KW: Yes Nicholas? NP: Three times, the first time. KW: Oh yes. DN: One is singular, one is plural. CF: Times and time. KW: You need to listen better, yes. NP: Look, I haven’t come here all the way from Great Portland Street to be insulted like this! I’m sitting in Kenneth Williams’ chair, playing this game... KW: Yes that’s all right, there’s no need to remonstrate in that fashion. You have the subject, you have the subject Nicholas, and you have 16 seconds... CF: Why? KW: ... on the world’s greatest picture... DN: You’re wrong! KW: ... starting now. NP: The world’s greatest picture as Clement Freud said, is in the eye of the beholder. To me, it must be the one that my little daughter did when she was four years of age. And I now have it framed in my office, and I look at it frequently. It depicts... BUZZ KW: A challenge from Derek. DN: His daughter, he said his little daughter. She’s a great big lump! KW: I will not have this provocation, it’s outrageous! Outrageous! NP: Absolutely! KW: I mean you wouldn’t hear me coming out with a remark like that! It’s disgraceful! NP: He’s rude about every member of my family! KW: I will have people properly behaved! I believe in people behaving properly. I’m all for that! Yes! You know what I mean. So you keep the subject, you have six seconds for the world’s greatest picture starting now. NP: This picture has a little child... BUZZ NP: You see you get in incredibly quickly when you’re... KW: Yes, Clement Freud? CF: Repetition of little. KW: Yes I’m afraid so, you have the subject, four seconds on the world’s greatest picture starting now. CF: Oh I think to... BUZZ KW: Oh yes, very bad! Yes Peter you’re quite right, you have three seconds on the world’s greatest picture starting now. PJ: Well the last supper in Milan... BUZZ DN: Repetition of well, he always starts with well. CF: He hasn’t spoken yet! PJ: I haven’t spoken before! DN: If he had, he’d have still started with well. PJ: Ah well I get an extra point, Mister Chairman. KW: You cannot have a game on assumption Derek. He certainly gets a point, he gets a point for that wrong challenge and you’ve half a second on the world’s greatest picture starting now. PJ: Closed on Monday... WHISTLE KW: Very good indeed. At the end of that round Nicholas has increased his lead, he’s 17 points, closely followed by Clement Freud. And the next subject goes to Peter Jones, a good rebus starting now. PJ: Isn’t that a kind of hieroglyphics game, like “to be or” whatever it is, Shakespeare, the way he had it, you know the way he went. I don’t want to repeat the first... BUZZ KW: Derek’s challenged. DN: He repeated the way. KW: Yes I’m afraid so. You have the subject, the good, a good rebus starting now. DN: In the heraldic sense, a good rebus is a joke which is, is contained upon one’s... BUZZ KW: A challenge from Nick. NP: I thought that was hesitation. KW: I’m afraid so, you have 45 seconds for a good rebus starting now. NP: When I was in France last, this man came up with a good rebus. He said (speaks in French gibberish) BUZZ KW: A challenge from Derek. NP: (continues in high speed French gibberish) DN: Mister Chairman... NP: (continues in high speed French gibberish) KW: There’s been a challenge from Derek. DN: Why, why is Nicholas Parsons continually allowed to audition? LOUD LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE DN: We come here and play the game, he comes here and auditions. KW: You can only challenge for deviation or repetition... DN: Well repetition, (does impression of NP’s French gibberish) KW: Yes yes yes, that was proven, you’re quite right. And so you have 32 seconds on a good rebus starting now. DN: A good rebus is something which we all like to read, isn’t it. Because one picks it up and glances down on the page, and that is to my mind a good... BUZZ DN: What’s the matter now? KW: Nicholas tell us why you challenged. NP: I don’t like to read it. KW: No, it’s not you he’s discussing, it’s himself. NP: He said we all like to read it, I don’t! KW: So he goes on with a good rebus... PJ: No he said one, one! KW: ... you have half a second starting now. DN: Something engines... WHISTLE KW: Very good indeed. I’m afraid that last round has ensured a much greater lead for Derek, but it’s still nowhere Nicholas’s, it’s still very much a commanding lead. The next subject goes to Derek, old ladies who help me across the road. Extraordinary subject! PJ: Do you mean, when you say “me”, Mister Chairman, do you mean yourself? When you say... KW: What did you say? PJ: When you say “me”, do you mean yourself? You see, you want Derek to talk about these old ladies who helped me across the road. KW: It’s written down here, old ladies... PJ: I want you to interpret it for me! KW: ... who help me across the road. I... PJ: I want you to interpret it for me! Please! KW: ... don’t know much about it, I’m not in charge of the cards. PJ: You can’t explain then, whether it is or not? I don’t want Nicholas to get this, because he’ll just give us his Widow Twanky! I want to find out whether you mean me as yourself, or Derek? KW: I see your point. I’m afraid it evaded me before, but now it’s all become crystal clear. Yes well... PJ: Thank God for that! He’s got his contact lenses in again! KW: I think that it means, I think you can assume that it is “me” in a general sense for anyone who takes the subject. PJ: Ah thank you very much. KW: So old ladies who help me across the road, Derek starting now. DN: One of the sweetest old ladies that ever helped me across a road was called Denise Brier. She is most charming, handsome old lady... BUZZ KW: A question... NP: Well I have to challenge, don’t I? KW: Yes go on. NP: Because Denise Brier is not an old lady. KW: I quite agree, you get the challenge... DN: She must be, she’s married to you! KW: And you have 50 seconds, on old ladies who help me across the road starting now. NP: The nicest old lady who ever helped me across the road was Mrs Kettle. It was in the village of Swayfield near Grantham where I was born. And she was... BUZZ KW: A challenge from Derek. DN: That’s not how they speak in Grantham! They have a very distinct Lincolnshire accent! KW: Yes well he’ll get to that later on. DN: Oh will he? KW: So you get 45 seconds, for old ladies who help me across the road starting now. NP: She had to be very careful because there were a lot of penny farthings and horts and carts on the road at the time. BUZZ KW: Another challenge from Clement. CF: What’s a hort and cart? KW: Yes do you mean, your challenge is what, deviation? CF: Deviation. KW: Yes. NP: (in rural accent) In Lincolnshire, they call them horts and carts, they call them horts and carts in Lincolnshire! KW: You have 40 seconds for old ladies.... PJ: He’s at it again you see! KW: ... who help me across the road starting now. CF: My very favourite old lady who helped me across the road said “as long as you don’t know Nicholas Parsons, I should be very pleased to take your arm and escort you to the other side of the pavement”. And I said that would be an enormous pleasure to me, especially as I was blind at the time. And so she gripped me, oddly enough by the thigh, because I can’t mention the other part of the body by which she held me previously, and avoided an awful lot of oncoming bicycles, motor cars, trucks, buses, and a tram which had come from a museum and was going on to a road show in a neighbouring village. When we reached... BUZZ NP: Derek why have you challenged? DN: A tram wouldn’t go to a road show, it would go to a rail show. CF: No. KW: I could quite, I can quite, I can quite conceive of a tram going to a road show. So keep it going, you have one second on old ladies who help me across the road starting now. CF: Agatha Palmer. WHISTLE KW: Very good indeed. He’s done nothing to stop the commanding lead enjoyed by Nicholas Parsons, the rest are all trailing horribly. And it’s his turn to speak next. You speak for 60 seconds on the subject of power starting now. NP: Power to your elbow, a thing that Kenneth Williams often says. More power to this part of your anatomy. Power of the voice, the power of speech, the authority that is expressed in the power and the presence of a personality. If you produce this part of your vocal chords in the correct manner, you can reach the back of an auditorium. Right now I am using my diaphragm here and sending the wind up and it’s vibrating against the soft palate and it’s coming out here forward through my teeth. And the power that is generated there is going forth to arouse this audience up to say “Parsons is the man with power”. Here’s another man with power sitting beside me. He exercises that in another House and over there... BUZZ KW: A challenge from Peter, Peter your challenge? PJ: Repetition of man. KW: Man yes, you have the subject then... NP: Well he’s not a woman, Clement Freud! KW: Power and 20 seconds starting now. PJ: Well it can also mean the power that you switch on which provides... BUZZ KW: A challenge from Derek yes? DN: I just wanted you to notice he said “well” again. It’s nice, I think! I like the sort of continuity of it. KW: Duly noted but you get no points whatsoever and the subject continues with Peter Jones, 16 seconds on power starting now. PJ: Without it, you wouldn’t be able to operate your hair dryer... BUZZ KW: Who’s challenging now? Clement what is it? CF: He didn’t say well again, deviation! KW: (laughs) Yes, very good, you get a point, you get a point for a witty challenge! Oh you are amusing! And Peter Jones has the subject of power starting now. PJ: Or your electric massager which I know you use regularly before you leave the house, and to which you owe a great deal of your wonderful complexion. Because it opens the pores and the power that is generated... WHISTLE KW: Oh! Splendid! Well many thanks, many thanks to Peter Jones for finishing in such style at the end of Just A Minute. Because we have come to the end of that being able to play Just A Minute. The scores were as follows. Derek and Peter more or less in the lead, Clement very very well with 19 points. But miles ahead of everyone else, your winner this week, Nicholas Parsons! And that is... NP: I would like to say that I think I owe it all to the warmth and generosity... KW: Don’t hog it! Don’t hog it! You’ve done well! Don’t hog it! And thank you very much. We hope you’ve enjoyed listening to Just A Minute and will join us again next week when Just A Minute takes to the air once again. THEME MUSIC ANNOUNCER: The chairman of Just A Minute was Kenneth Williams, the programme was devised by Ian Messiter and produced by Pete Atkin. |
