I'm loving the BBC Radio Player (and the fact that it is not blocked for we USians, unlike BBC's television stuff, which I hear is very good but I wouldn't know because THEY WON'T LET ME WATCH, but I digress).

After taking in the latest episode of "Just a Minute" with the semi-familiar-because-he-has-seventeen-series-airing-on-various-American-cable-channels Graham Norton and the less-familiar-but-I-think-I-saw-him-on-some-early-episodes-of-Whose-line-Is-It-Anyway-before-the-North-American-comics-took-over Paul Merton, I wandered aimlessly and stumbled onto "I Haven't Got a Clue" on which the two members of The Goodies who did not become bird watchers have apparently aged several decades (I can't possibly imagine how) yet remaining wildly whimsical. There is something about the British Panel Show that appeals to my need for serious structure and well-defined rules so that they can be thoroughly broken down to the atomic level. I suspect if I were playing "Just a Minute", I could have gotten very close to winning the game by blathering on what I have just written, until I committed the non-pardonable act of repetition by mentioning the name of the show a second time.
