Just a Minute (5.0/5)

Just a continual steam of laughter.  It is always risky seeing a TV or radio show live - how much is in the editing?  "Just a Minute" is even better live.  Host Nicholas Parsons at 92 is warm, welcoming and hilarious.  Resident panellist Paul Merton interjects with witty asides, his colleagues fight determinedly for every hesitation, repetition or deviation.  It's no surprise that Just a Minute and its host have lasted 48 years.
