Saturday Morning Cartoon: Just a Minute: Reloaded


Just a Minute: Reloaded, "Paul Merton on Sudoku" (2009), animated by Run Wrake


Just a Minute is a long-running BBC Radio panel game in which the celebrity panel members must speak on a particular subject given to them by the chairman for sixty seconds with hesitation, repetition of words, or deviating from the subject. If the panelist does so, another panelist can buzz in and challenge to take over the subject for the remainder of the sixty seconds. The point of the game is less to win points than it is to be funny, outrageous, and steal the show for yourself. It's a great favorite of yours little stuffed truly, and now several of the funnier moments from the show have been turned into animation and displayed on the BBC website.

Don't quite get the picture yet? Click on the "film" below to hear a sample round from Just a Minute accompanied by a slideshow of the panelists! And/or read the history of the show on the BBC website!

The CBC used to play this show and when I was stuck in traffic on my way home from work it was a wondrous way to pass the time.

I used to love this as a kid - couldn't understand much of what they were saying, but Keneth Williams used to make me crack up, just the same (or maybe "because"?). Definitely going to give it a listen. Thanks for the heads up!
