Kenneth Williams, Clement Freud, Derek Nimmo, Peter Jones, and Paul Merton are the ‘Famous Five’ of Just a Minute: sparkling raconteurs whose sharp wits and skill made them consistently a pleasure to listen to. Each brings their own unique quality to the show, and this box set showcases their highlights—the moments which reveal these talented players at the very top of their game. Also among the featured shows are the first ever Just a Minute, plus the 25th anniversary edition and the infamous episode when Clement Freud failed to appear and the show’s ever capable chairman Nicholas Parsons replaced him as a panelist. Full of fast-paced, irreverent fun and ferocious competition, this collection is a gold mine of wonderful comedy nuggets from five fantastically funny comedians.
