All kenneth willliams episodes were brilliant he was born to play this game

Kenneth Williams was brilliant again

1:26:40 Terry Wogan's debut. Timestamping it so I can give it again when I inevitably want to listen again to this legendary performance.

I'm listening to these JAM uploads again from the very first episode and greatly enjoying them, but I must say Parsons is even more annoying the second time round.

Thanks again m

Lucky for the whistle: could have been repetition of …wood

Thanks for all these posts. I especially appreciate the generous notes in the description; I know that takes some time and mental energy. Thank you. I'm 65 years old, of at least half-decent upbringing, but I must confess to having a teenage boy moment with 'borborygm' / borborygmus. I guess some of us never grow all the way up.

41:26 It's ALL vulgarity.

1:13:55 Sheila is wrong. Oedipus kills his father, marries his mother, then gouges his eyes out.

Lord have mercy, Nick.admonishing Kenneth for overacting and then proceeds to overact himself by pretending to be drunk only cuz.Kenneth is oretending to be drunk.

All gay?

20:42. Why is it that ebery time Nick makes that 'awww' noise, it sounds insincere and like he's mocking the person meant to be on the receiving end of the sympathetic 'awwww's?

Derek Nimmo. So glad to hear him fade away and be replaced by actual funny people. jjeez this show was slow,.As long as K. Williams is in the show,, never watching it

2:53:06, I'm completely bewildered. Some episodes seem.to indicate that Nicholas makes more.money than the panelists for being chairman, which seems to imply he's rich, and on other occasions he gives off the impression that he's strapped for cash cuz of how much the BBC pay him for being chairman. I know these inconsistencies are meant to elicit laughs, but again it's a cade that when the panelists bring it uoz they get the laughs, but when Nick does... there's no reaction.

Wow I've never heard the My Word It's My Music. This is awesome! Thanks. Ok, I do have to say I think the six-song medley format was a bit of over-thinking. I am familiar with many of the pieces, but they went by so quickly, I couldn't name one before the next one (or two) went by. The panel(s) seemed to have some trouble with it too. I thought there would be some kind of mix of the two formats, ie how words of some sort would play into the history of musical works. But they just seem to switch back and forth from one to the other. Certainly not complaining, but I think there was a missed opportunity. References to a 'Lady Diana, English Rose' were a bit eerie.

1:00:14, could someone explain what thr hell Nick just said to Peter Jones?

Clement Freud an MP by this point I believe.

Oh my lord the opening episode, i have never heard.so much arguing and so much Nick abuse before in my life. And for fucks sake, Nick goes off on Gyles with his scottish accent, and then admonishes him for challenging on cuckoo, admonishes him again for speaking too long im trying to establish his challenge despite the fact that nicholas was busy listening to derek.and martin amd kenneth yabbering on, and then when Gyles doesnt dispute a challenge made against him and Nick questions why, Gyles is all lile 'cuz theres only so many times you can bash your head against a brick wall' and Nick once again takes credit for the humor.generated by the comment with his 'oh i do give them marvelous cues dont i?'

1:17:18. 'These subtle allusions defeat me' Well just because YOU dont understand the subtly of things doesnt mean the person making the challenge is wrong. Especially given how often Parsons has made all kinds of decisions amd excuses for awarding points and so on that dont make sense. Hes no authority on what is normal.

1:07:31. What the hell is Nick on about regarding the two.different spellings of you and yew? Gyles wasnt talking about a yew.tree, he.said you. I swesr.there.are.moments when Nicks.brain.goes on autopilot, and it still.manages to crash amd burn

I hate this nonsense of saying 'he said [insert word here] x amount of times' and Nicholas claims he was counting and always says that someone only said whatever word ot was one less than the amount of times they were challenged on. Its aggravating because ir doesnt matter if someone said 'and' five times or four, REPETITION IS REPTITION! its just another case of Kenneth being allowed to get away with all kinds of bullshit.

What i find most annoying is how deviation is judged. In some cases you can be completely off it and not get the subject taken away, and other instamces you firmly establish a cinnection to what you are talking about with the subject and still get it taken away, like with Libhy and the subject of cards. She dwscribed the feeling of knowing people at a part when you pick up their cards is similar to playing Just a Minute and gets it wrongly taken away despite having established the connection.

Libby Purves.was making a ppint that when Tim tried talking about Polybius it wasmt a sure eay to get a laugh and Nick was.banging on on what Kenneth Williams did on the subject FIVE MINUTES AGO, ignoring what was going on IN THE PRESENT.

3:16:24. Nicholas admonishing and berating the audience for the quintillionth time, saying that such and such doesnt deserve a round of applause, cuz Clement was sending him.up for allowing no points to be charged for Aimi interrupting Kenneth, take a shot of whiskey.

3:24:15. Nick institutes a new rule that a person cant challenge themselves twice in the same round. Its hilarious

Jeremy Beadle fits in nicely with the show. His laughter indicates how much he is enjoying himself

1:07:33 nick once again tries to take credit and tries to cover up the situation to make himself look like everythibg is deliberately masterminded.

3:16:18. Christ on a fire engine!! Nick once more dug himself a hole with a nonexistent pronunciation of semolina, and uses nuclear warhead levels of gibberish and bad accents to try and dig himself out, all the while insulting the very people he fashions accents on, including the Chinese. This would not be the first time nor even the last time he does it.

2:06:44, Nicholas trying to audition for the Kenneth Williams Story

Deviation; you cant use names in scrabble

2:23:38. Nicholas Parsons having a nervous breakdown

1:41:38. 'Come outside and Ill hyphenate you' I love that line so much!

1:39:06. The round on plumbers is the funniest ive heard as its a nice condemnation of people who wouldnt know a spiggot from a faucet. Also, what Nick talks about is the first mention of people in China listening to the show, something that will get brought up time and again in the years ahead.

1:28:05, 'i have some new specs and its effecting my speech.' I have never and will never understand this. If youre qearing new glasses, how can somethung meant to hekp your eyesight effect the way you talk? Thats like saying, 'im sorry i cant hear you, i need to put my glasses on.'

31:42. The first of many times.Nick tries to entice Peter.to.keep going and instead he inhibits.him cuz Peter thinks hes.signaling for him to hurry up.

31:00. 'You cant have too.much of the essence of Parsons" If that isnt deviation, I dont know what is.

It seems thst when the show enterednthr 80s, in the early 80s Sheila struggled.terribly to be heardnand seemed to forget hpw.to.play the game despite.being a semi.regular through the 70s. There are.episodes so far where.she is virtually.silent

It does seem.like Sheila is being treated even more.horribly than usual, she was denied correct challeneges for hesitation on both episodes in this set against Gyles.Brandreth. and on both occasions he was let off the hook for.dramatic.license, which could.be viewed.as the prototype for 'riding the laugh' which became.more.common place after Merton joined the series.

In the last episode, i dont know if its the sound quality, but nick sounds bored.

2:03:01, you notice how Nicholas manipulates the crowd reaction? He says the audience agree with him and then they applaud. Hes.done that.before. Years later during the televised 45th anniversary episodes, Sue Perkins rightly called him out as a manipulative puppet master whule talking on the subject of Puppet Masters, and he vehemiently denied this even after forcing another panelist to challenge her.

1:56:34. I am.totally lost, why did nick and Maureen swap glasses? That was never made.clear.

Love Gyles, he was someone that wasnt going to be browbeaten by anyone, not even by nicholas. Most newcomers dont have that level.of confidence.

17:28 why is Nicholas accusing Peter Jones of having a hangover simply because Peter is accusing him.of being shifty?

Ah, libby purves, a delightfully charming and intelligent woman. And i cannot believe even after she won thr game.and after he laid praise.upon praise at her feet, Nick.told her to.shut up because she buzzed.him during his end of episode diatribe.

Episode 4's runnubg gag regarding Kenneth using that song 'Love Is a Simple Thing' or a many splendored thing, and being challenged on it and not being allowed, i dont know what to think about it.. cuz its both hilarious and frustrating cuz Nick.maintained each time thst Ken was challenged.before he repeated the word 'love' which is a lie.

The episode featuring Ian Messiter on the panel is another example of how nicholas always runs around the block putting on a three act play with his long winded explanations and his paltry attempts at humor and not getting on with things.

40:45. An open admission that Kenneth is essentially allowed to get away with all kinds of things that are wrong,.including bad grammar and mispronouncing words, but god forbid if anyone else.does it, they wouldnt be given the benefit of the doubt for speaking colloquially.

38:37. Its a rotten decision and definitely an unfair one. It was Sheila that challenged Kenneth on his syntax and didnt get any points, now suddenly Kenneth steals her material and gets it against her for her syntax and he gets the point? Wheres the justice? Its just another sexist example how women are.only in the show to be the stooge so that the chaps can get laughs at their expense.

26:17. 'You try bring a chairman without being patronizing' Im sorry but being pompoud and patronizing are not qualities one should be proud of.
