PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
A witty, play-at-home parlour game-in-a-book with 240 'rounds' on British history; from Stonehenge and Boudicca to Peppa Pig and the London Olympics: all presented in delightful, 60-second instalments. Inspired by BBC Radio 4’s 'Just a Minute' comedy panel game, which has been entertaining the nation since 1967, without hesitation, repetition or deviation. Read cover-to-cover or, tomplay the game, appoint a chair and challenge your friends and family to talk on topics from the book; then read the history to compare notes and learn history as you play. An uproarious - and sometimes naughty - romp through British history’s key moments, people, triumphs, disasters, inventions, literature, and more. Join ‘Just a Minute’ regular Gyles Brandreth (b.1948), with occasional asides from other panellists in an unconventional history.
