I think if anyone had thought it worth asking me about creating a series of short animations based on clips from Just a Minute, I'd have said something like "don't bother. It'll never work". Thankfully, nobody asked me and the resulting videos are all brilliant - really witty collisions of words and images. This one's by Stuart Langfield. And it's lovely to hear Clement Freud's voice again. Makes me wonder what other Radio 4 content could be revived in this way? The Moral Maze? The Archers? The Shipping Forecast?
They call the animations Just a Minute Reloaded and you're encouraged to embed them on your own web site. Just click the 'embed' button. Spread the joy.
- David Thair's BBC Comedy Blog often features Radio 4 programmes as well as lots of television comedy that obviously originated on Radio 4 in the first place.
- The current series of Just a Minute, in its native pure audio form, has two more episodes to go. Listen again here.

I didn't bother correcting the 'annointed', but it will be confusing if people start thinking that John Sergeant spells his name without the 'a'..

If these radio visualisations are here to stay then could the BBC perhaps revisit the old "Down Your Way" programmes, despatching a photographer to each of the programmes locations...
