Just A Minim
A parody of Just a Minute, in which the contestants have to sing a song "without repetition, deviation, hesitation, anthrax or, er...repetition". The songs are chosen for having extremely repetitive lyrics (for instance "Old McDonald Had a Farm" or "This Ole House"), causing the contestants to have to think up ingenious synonyms. In the "Old McDonald" version, when Barry used a variety of alternative turkey noises, Willie challenged for failing to say "gobble" at all. Another time, Tim challenged for the repetition of the word 'I', which Humph dismissed saying 'I' was too short. When it was Willie's turn, he said 'I' in place of every word. The panellists often audibly struggle to stay within the rules; in many early playings of the game, a favourite tactic, especially of Graeme Garden, was to sing the chosen song 'straight' in the hopes of being challenged (and therefore relieved from the chore of singing).
Jack Dee has added to the game since he began chairing by mimicking Nicholas Parsons's overenthusiastic speech style, overly congratulating the players for every challenge, the game itself "which is beloved across the cosmos", and paying respect "to Darth Vader who created this game."
