Such Small Portions, 26th March 2012

The 45th anniversary of the quaint Radio 4 panel show, in which contestants must talk for 60 seconds on any given subject "without repetition, hesitation or deviation", sees it honoured with a first television outing for 13 years. The opener of 10 nightly episodes calls upon TV quiz staples Paul Merton and Phill Jupitus to provide the deadpan humour, alongside Sue Perkins and Graham Norton, while long-standing host Nicholas Parsons marshalls proceedings with a boyish grin that belies his 88 years.
