Just a Minute 2023: The Complete Series 90 & 91

Listen to a sample

What to expect

Both series of the BBC’s classic comedy panel game from 2023 – plus two Edinburgh Specials

The long-running Radio 4 national treasure of a parlour game is back for two more series, chaired once again by the superlative Sue Perkins. Joining her are an array of loquacious panellists, all hoping to avoid the pitfalls of hesitation, deviation and repetition as they strive to speak for 60 seconds on a given topic.

Showing off their quick wit and nimble minds are celebrities including Paul Merton, Julian Clary, Jennifer Saunders, Jan Ravens, Tony Hawks, Lucy Porter, Alan Davies, Anna Maxwell Martin and Heidi Regan. Among the subjects up for discussion are Snakes and Ladders, Whitney Houston, Wordle, The Perfect Mullet, The Letter Q, Columbo, Revolving Restaurants and The Great Barrier Reef.

Also included are two special editions of Just a Minute recorded at the Edinburgh Festival, featuring Gyles Brandreth, Janey Godley, Susie McCabe, Fred MacAulay, Rachel Parris and debut contestants Ian Smith and Urooj Ashfaq. Faced with topics including How to Make a Good First Impression, Heckling A Walking Tour, Teacakes and A Hatchet Job, can they ad-lib their way to a complete, uninterrupted minute?

Note - April 2024: The audio files have been updated to include the complete Edinburgh specials.
