BBC Radio 4 - Just a Minute, Series 81, Episode 2

How hard can it be to talk for 60 seconds with no hesitation, repetition and deviation?

Nicholas Parsons tests the verbal dexterity of Paul Merton, Marcus Brigstocke, Rebecca Front and Gyles Brandreth.

Just A Minute is back for its 81st series and this second episode features Paul Merton, Marcus Brigstocke, Rebecca Front and Gyles Brandreth.

As ever, the panel are tasked with talking on a given subject for sixty seconds without repetition, hesitation or deviation. This week, a subject that Gyles somewhat tenuously manages to link to this weekend's royal wedding, Rebecca talks sharks and there's a minor contretemps between Marcus and Paul about travelling to the moon.

Hayley Sterling blows the whistle and the producer is Richard Morris.

Just A Minute is a BBC Studios production.
