It's 28 mins long, Sarg. Give us a chance :)

Haha, sorry trip, good point! I was also just trying to bump it up, there's a lot of eager forum posters tonight ^^

I'll have to check that out more often. The "fishing" catagory was rather hilarious.

This show has been running since I was a kid (I'm in my 50's now) and the presenter (Nicholas Parsons) has appeared in every show - sometimes replacing a contestant who was late and, sometimes, just for a laugh. Nicholas Parsons is 87 now and still going strong.

Glad you liked it trip! :)

@SpeakerToAliens: I'm 24 and I really like the show too - it can run and run. Are you British? Nicholas Parsons is great - him and Paul Merton really make the show for me. Sheila Hancock is great too.

The BBC is kind enough to podcast The Now Show and The News Quiz to keep ex-pats like me connected to Radio 4 comedy but I wish they would do the same with Just A Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. Do they really make enough money from selling CDs to justify restricting access to digital media? And aren't they obscure enough globally that podcasting them might actually increase revenue from CD sales?

I still haven't caught up with ISIHAC since Humph's passing. Is it up to scratch?

Really? You can't listen to it, have you tried using the link I sent you? My father does not lives outside of Europe and he can access BBC Radio on iPlayer. The radio iplayer is supposed to be fully international.

Gah.

*Really? You can't listen to it? Have you tried using the link I posted in this thread? My father lives outside of Europe and he can access BBC Radio on the iPlayer website. The radio iplayer is supposed to be fully international.

@Sargmacher: Yep, I'm a Brit. I'm a big fan on ISIHAC too.

@Sarg: I can listen to it on the web - it would just be more convenient to download it onto an MP3 player as a podcast. Fussy me!

I love this show. They have CDs of it in my local (American) library.

Oh really! That's cool! So widespread :)

I listened to the two episodes I could easily find on the site... Really enjoyed it. I love British humor.

How often is this on?

@Katsarephat - a rule of thumb is that the Beeb tend to run radio shows in 6 week-ish (sometimes very ish) chunks and then they put something different on in the same slot. some perennial favourites that come round often are "Just a Minute", "I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue", "The News Quiz" and "The Now Show". Also good, though different is "Old Harry's Game" - a soap, set in Hell.

This reminds me of Whose line is it anyway? great find.

BBC Radio is full of good comedy like this. British TV does a pretty good line in comedy panel shows too: Everyone is probably familiar with "Have I Got News For You?" but I also love "Would I Lie To You?" and "Mock The Week". And obviously best of all is the wonderful, brilliant "Shooting Stars".

Aw, I'm glad you're all checking out the show and liking it :)

@Jamiet99uk: 'Have I Got News For You?' is great!

Athough, unfortunately - BBC iplayer only allows radio content to be accessed abroad - there are talks of allowing people to access TV content abroad if they pay a monthly fee though.

@Sargmacher, et. al. - I have a errr <cough>relative<cough>, who lives in a country not entirely unlike Spain, who has ...<cough> heard ... that there are ... erm... <cough>mythical<cough> ... web sites that disguise your IP address and make it look like you're in the UK when you want to access BBC iPlayer in full <cough><cough>... allegedly... perhaps... maybe...<cough>. Of course, that's probably just a rumour and he might be having me on or maybe I miss-understood when he said he can really watch/listen to all BBC programs on iPlayer whilst in Spain, but I couldn't possibly comment<cough><cough>allegedly<cough>.

Latest Episode for you all to listen to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zf9tf/Just_a_Minute_14_03_2011/

Please take a listen!

@SpeakerToAliens: What programme/web site (erm...*cough* :) do you use that works to let you watch a full TV episode on BBC iplayer? Would be very interested to know!
I use my University VPN when abroad - works like a treat - but would be nice to know a good alternative if there is one.

You'll enjoy it if you listen :)

(bump)

bump :)

Sarg, don't bump your own thread three times in the space of half an hour...

Stop being a nag, Jamie.

What time does it air, so that I can catch it live?

'Just A Minute' airs Mondays at 6.30pm GMT and you can listen live in BBC iPlayer.

The programme is then available on the BBC iPlayer website for a week to listen to or download. The link for the current episode is:

Thanks for checking the thread out, Onar! :)

I say bump.

what's bump mean?

'Bumping' allows the bumper to bump a particular thread to the top of the forum, bringing (or bumping, as it were) the thread back to public attention.

BBC Radio 4 has a comedy program (to some degree) every day at 1830.
Monday & Friday are the best nights with (Just a minute or Im Sorry I haven't a clue) and (Now Show or News Quiz) respectively.

Also to note, we enter BST very soon!

Both great shows figlesquidge. Hope everyone gets to listen to the show, next episode comes out on Monday! :)
