BBC Radio 4 - Just a Minute, Series 77, Episode 1

Nicholas Parsons and guests return for the 77th series of the iconic panel show.

Nicholas Parsons returns for his 50th year and the 77th series of the award-winning panel show. His guests this week are Paul Merton, Josie Lawrence, Zoe Lyons and Graham Norton.

Just A Minute is 50 years old this year! Nicholas Parsons has been hosting since day one, and kicks off the first episode of the new series with a cracking line-up: Paul Merton, Josie Lawrence, Zoe Lyons and Graham Norton.

The panel have to talk on a given subject for sixty seconds without repetition, hesitation or deviation. How much does Zoe know about Anne Boleyn? Has Graham ever used the phrase "Don't you know who I am?"? What can Josie tell us about dust sheets, and what does Paul consider the 8th Wonder of the World? Plus - spoiler alert - someone speaks for a full minute without interruption - but who?? Tune in to find out!

Hayley Sterling blows the whistle and it was produced by Matt Stronge.

Just A Minute is a BBC Studios production.
