Its mix of irreverent fun and ferocious competition has always attracted stellar names from the world of comedy and theatre all of whom pit their wits - and their wit - against regular players including Kenneth Williams Paul Merton Derek Nimmo Clement Freud and Peter Jones. Each episode is preceded by extracts from a fascinating conversation between Nicholas Parsons and Paul Merton in which they good-humouredly reflect upon the enormous appeal of the game the various techniques for playing it the numerous guest players who have taken part over the years and their favourite moments in these particular episodes. Among the guests in these four archive programmes are Geraldine Jones Alfred Marks and Tim Rice.Read More
