Edinburgh Masterclass
Made for 4 Extra. Paul Merton chats to Nicholas Parsons about his 47-year, 900-show association with the 大象传媒's longest-running quiz show.
After clocking up an amazing 900 editions of the award-winning panel game show Just A Minute over 47 years, Paul Merton interviews series chairman Nicholas Parsons - the only person to have appeared in every single edition.
Jimmy Edwards was originally destined for the role of Just A Minute chairman, with Parsons as a panellist. But when show producer, David Hatch, realised that he wouldn't be able to prise Edwards into a studio on a Sunday, Parsons stepped up to the plate to challenge panellists to speak for one minute without hesitation, deviation or repetition, on any subject that comes up on the cards.
Since 1967, Just A Minute has featured some of the UK's finest raconteurs, including Clement Freud, Peter Jones, Derek Nimmo, Kenneth Williams and Sheila Hancock.
Featuring archive clips, this JAM special was recorded before an audience at the 大象传媒's Potterow venue during The Edinburgh Festival 2014.
