Trailer: Just a Minute's Indian Adventure
A trailer for the Radio 4 documentary, Just a Minute's Indian Adventure. You can hear the programme at 11.30am on Monday 2 April.
Programme details:
Just a Minute grew to prominence in India, when it became available to Indian audiences via the 大象传媒 World Service. This exposure gave birth to a number of 'Indianised' versions of the game, which continue to be played amongst smart, young, Indian college graduates today. Dubbed 'JAM', they are a testament to the show's transnational appeal.
As part of the Radio 4 Just a Minute anniversary celebration, Nicholas Parsons visits Bangalore and Mumbai to take a look at these JAM sessions; modern Indianised and radically different take up of the Just a Minute British audiences know and love. The documentary follows a group of lively young Indian college students as they prepare for a competitive JAM tournament against their peers at the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore.
