Nicholas Parsons hosts the granddaddy of all panel games.

Nicholas Parsons takes the granddaddy of all panel games to Salford where the panellists are Paul Merton, Alun Cochrane, Kit Hesketh-Harvey and Tony Hawks. From May 1991.

Nicholas Parsons presides over the grandaddy of all panel games where the idea is to see who has the gift of the gab. 

This week's programme comes from the Lowry Centre in Salford where the panellists are Paul Merton, Tony Hawks, Kit Hesketh-Harvey and Alun Cochrane.

The panellists are given subjects on which they must speak without hesitation, repetition or deviation. A task much more difficult than it sounds...

This week Paul has to speak on the subject of What Nicholas Keeps in his Wallet; Kit talks about Seeing the Dentist, Tony declaims on the subject of The Age of the Dinosaur and Alun explains What Makes Me Furious.

BBC Radio 4

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.

Nicholas Parsons chairs the devious word game
