Two sparkling series of the BBC’s long-running comedy panel game from 2024

The fast-talking, quick-thinking Radio 4 parlour game returns with twelve more episodes, in which host Sue Perkins is joined by a wealth of talented and illustrious panellists including Paul Merton, Gyles Brandreth, Lucy Porter, Tony Hawks, Eshaan Akbar, Eleanor Tiernan, Stephen Fry, Katherine Parkinson and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

In time-honoured tradition, each player endeavours to speak for 60 seconds without repetition, deviation or hesitation on a given subject. Among the topics in these two series are Skimming Stones, Apostrophes and Catastrophes, Doppelgängers, Doomsday Bunkers, The Perfect Outfit, Small-Town Secrets, Making Friends On The Internet and Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag.

Will they fall at the first hurdle, or fend off all comers to win the points? As the ‘Minute Waltz’ fades away, it’s time to find out...
