[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 66162, member: 23"] Yes - he does elevate it into something more watchable than it ought to be. I love [I]Just A Minute,[/I] so the big draw here was to see the dynamic between he and Nicholas Parsons who took so much grief from Kenneth and his fellow contestants over the years. They say here that the ribbing is all in good fun, which it mostly is. But Kenneth being very mercurial, his opinion on Nicholas seemed to be quite variable in his diaries - as was his opinion about most of the people he came into contact with regularly. His interview with fellow JAM regular Derek Nimmo (from the same week as the Parsons interview) was next on my YouTube viewing list. I find it fascinating to see them interact in this slightly more casual way outside of JAM's stringent rules. I suppose if you don't know them in that context it's probably not as interesting, but still nice to see these two terribly British gents conversing: [MEDIA=youtube]Y8oXvoys6CU[/MEDIA] I love how politically incorrect they are. And if that doesn't date it, there's also Elaine Paige singing a very Eighties number from [I]Chess[/I]. :D I wonder what Janet Brown would do with Theresa May?! [/QUOTE]
