Book Description
'A joyous compendium of facts, fun and stories. This hilarious and informative guide is destined to become the companion to radio's most enduring panel game' PAUL MERTON In this first ever official companion, chairman Nicholas Parsons tells the fascinating story of the much-loved panel game and Graham Norton, Sue Perkins, Jenny Eclair and Gyles Brandreth share their memories of the show. Over the decades, the greats of British comedy have entertained Just a Minute listeners with performances that have come to define our comic heritage - from Kenneth Williams' outrageously funny 'battles' with Sheila Hancock, Clement Freud's acerbic wit and Derek Nimmo's tall tales to Paul Merton's imaginative flights of fancy, Julian Clary's flagrant innuendos and Pam Ayres' poetic humour. Welcome to Just a Minute! is an entertaining journey through British comedy history and a master class in comic timing, verbal dexterity and sharp one-liners.

ISBN: 1622128281
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 305

Book Description
Successful and content in every way describes the 1950s world of Brad and Lydia Westbrook. Until their firstborn child died in his sleep at only three days old, the description fits. Their ensuing darkness seems impenetrable. Enter Gus: blond, intense brown eyes, a constantly wagging tail, and in need of a good home. Laughter returns slowly and grows with each addition to the family, coming from a variety of God's creatures in need of care. Animal antics cause the shadows to diminish, and become the unlikely catalyst for stability and happiness to once again become commonplace. The journey to complete restoration of faith is not concluded until the Westbrook home welcomes a tiny infant, an ill-tempered mother-in-law, a struggling family, and a young woman burdened with a terrible secret. All seek comfort here. More surprises - some would say miracles - await the family, now tested and thoroughly ready to meet whatever comes along. All Angels Welcome Here is a story you will never forget.
