Just A Minute started the same year that BBC Radio 4 launched, making it the world's longest-running panel show.
Originally hosted by Nicholas Parsons up until his death in 2020 (he starred in the show for over 50 years), it is a format in which the panel must attempt to talk about a subject for a minute without repetition, hesitation or deviation. Following a series of guests hosts, in 2021 Sue Perkins became the new host.
