100%. The closest I'll ever come to the Heaven we all know is bollocks is the 60+ hours of Stephen Fry reading the entire Sherlock Holmes series directly into my ear holes. Absolute perfection.
It's never a mistake to wear such trousers! But it is a mistake to wear women's make-up and then decide years later that it wasn't doing him any favours!
I had all these recorded on my youview box given to me as part of a trial at the time but unfortunately soon after the box crashed and I lost all recordings
Only in Great Britain could there be a show in which the sublimely erudite critique one another on wholly extemporaneous expressions of wit and wisdom. As an unrepentant logofile and continually embarrassed American I take heart in the existence of this show and wish, for the trillionith time, that I'd been born under the Union bloody Jack.
Stephen Fry - like listening to a poem, as always.
Fry and Clary. Comedy doesn't get more lovely and sublime than this.
According to the website, excuses for being late was the first ever subject on Just A Minute in 1967.
+verkaforever it was
Yes it was, Clement Freud: "excuses for being late are not turning up on time!"

You are correct, and said episode can be found on RUclips =)
if there was a show called 'let's watch paint dry' and Stephen Fry was in it, I would still watch it.
Paint Dry with Steph Fry

I'd say the same about delightful Julian now.. 😊
"There is a woman over there wearing burgundy corduroy trousers... which frankly is a mistake" :D

And Writers Block doesn't exist only in imagination.

You might find things a bit muted after the States, C. - starts with the weather, but doesn't end there.
All best from Over Here
BABABABA can't stop laughing
Oh yes, that was FAR too many "babas"!
I
love it
I think it was for the prostate cancer campaign
I'm coming from Paul and Julian way back on Whose Line Series 3!!!
stevie baby, stevie
The trouble with you, Stu, is you want the moon on a stick!
hillarious
will there be anymore of these?
Me too.
It's s radio programme in the UK - though free to listen to globally I believe! Hope it works.
5:13 Stephen gets a point for an incorrect challenge?! No way!
That is correct. Julian stopped him mid flow with an incorrect challenge. 1 point to Stephen, and he carries on until he utters a repetition.
i'll bet he was growing it for a role of some kind
let me know when you find out.
:-)
Stephen fry looks so ridiculous with that moustache could really do without it
He'll be growing it for some acting part.
BAH!!!
Years ago I really liked this show but for some reason now, it bores me. it has gone on for too many years.
