One of the longest running panel games in the world, Radio 4's Just A Minute, is to be adapted for television to celebrate the show's 45th anniversary.
　　A ten-part series will be broadcast in BBC Two's daytime schedule, presented by long-serving host Nicholas Parsons and featuring semi-regular panellist Paul Merton. Episodes will be recorded in November at BBC Television Centre and will be broadcast early next year. If successful, more series may be commissioned.
　　Parsons says: "After 45 years of chairing Just A Minute on the radio, I am excited to be hosting these special celebratory episodes for BBC Two. I'm sure they will be popular with the show's many fans and hopefully with a few new ones as well."
