Wasn't it Willie Rushton? I recall seeing him in a pub years ago round the corner from where they did the Just a Minute recordings. Lets just say he was limbering up for the show
The fourth was Derek Nimmo - Willie Ruston was a regular on the other Radio 4 panel show I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue.
Nicholas Parsons was great on JAM, will be sorely missed.

Hi
Very sad but he did have a good innings 96 is a great age to go. After school he completed an engineering apprenticeship in Glasgow. Saw an interview with him discussing it, he said it was a very happy time, and in a time when Glasgow was regarded as hard work and the temple of failure for lots of comedians he thrived on it.
As was said a decent funny man, RIP Nicholas

Yes Derek Nimmo. Nicholas and Kenneth Williams used to have clashes(all in good fun) but this was instigated by the producer who would raise his hand and that was as a signal for Williams to go off on a rant "cult! I'm the biggest cult on here!" but Parsons took it all in his stride.

A legend of TV & radio that we will never see the likes of again condolences to all concerned 96 is a great age and I'm sure there will be a great radio station for him up there
