On rare occasions, panellists will challenge themselves, usually by mistake or for laughs. [19] If successful, last-second challenges can be especially rewarding, as they allow one to speak for a short time but earn two points—one for the challenge and one for being the last speaker. Deviation" originally meant deviating from the given subject, but gradually evolved to also include "deviating from the English language as we know it", "deviation from grammar as we understand it", deviating from the truth, and deviating from logic. Nevertheless, leaps into the surreal are usually allowed.Sue Perkins announced as new host of Just a Minute". BBC News. 20 July 2021 . Retrieved 20 July 2021. Just a Minute: Series 81, Episode 6".

Running now for over 50 years, the rules are simple, but it's incredibly hard to play. All you have to do it talk for one minute, on a topic given, without hesitation, repetition or deviation. It sounds simple, but it's very rare for it be actually done. One of the masters of the game, is Gyles Brandreth, hence this book. Unfortunately, the book is just proof you can't really move the show into the written word. Join national treasure and Just a Minute regular Gyles Brandreth on a hilariously addictive romp through British history. This isn’t just another history book – there’s a catch! From Stonehenge and Boudicca to Megxit and Brexit, each topic is written in 60-second installments, without hesitation, repetition, or deviation.

In the early years the rules were more complicated, as special rules were sometimes tried out in addition, on a one-off basis: a ban on the word "is" might apply in a round, for example, or "the".

Episode 424". Just a Minute. Series 26. Episode 1. 2 January 1993. BBC Radio 4. Transcript from just-a-minute.info. This particular edition of Just A Minute comes from the beautiful and ancient Theatre Royal in the delightful and old city of Bury St Edmonds. It is rare for a panellist to speak within the three cardinal rules for any substantial length of time, whilst both remaining coherent and being amusing. Therefore, to speak for the full minute without being challenged is a special achievement. However, if a panellist is speaking fluently on a subject, staying reasonably within the three rules, and seems likely to speak for the whole minute, the other panellists often refrain from challenging. On occasion a similar courtesy has been extended by the whistle-blower, who will refrain from indicating the end of the minute so as to not interrupt a panellist in full and entertaining flow (this once led to Paul Merton speaking for one minute and thirty seconds on the topic " Ram-raiding"). [17] There have also been occasions when players have chosen not to buzz because the speaker has been amusing the audience by performing badly. [ citation needed]Hesitation" is watched very strictly: a momentary pause in speaking can give rise to a successful challenge, as can tripping over one's words. Even pausing during audience laughter or applause (known as "riding a laugh") can be challenged.
