`Just a Minute` is BBC`s highly popular comedy panel game that has become a national institution in the UK and comes to India to celebrate the 45th anniversary with the same host! Host Nicholas Parsons will be joined by two experienced players, the comedian and presenter Marcus Brigstocke and Just a Minute stalwart and national treasure, Paul Merton. One Indian guest will be playing for the first time!
Each panellist is given a subject on which they must speak for 1 minute without hesitating, repeating a word or deviating from the topic. If a contestant is guilty of one of these the other panellists may interrupt and take over the subject. The whistle blows after 1 minute and whoever is speaking wins a point. The humour emerges from the improvisational nature of the speech as well as the wit and warmth of the players.
