Just a Minute/Awesome


 * In general, any time a contestant manages to go for a full minute without being interrupted. Kenneth Williams managed this a staggering 66 times in 337 appearances.
 * Bonus points (sometimes actually handed out by Nicholas) if they actually go for more than a minute without being interrupted.
 * In an episode from August 2000, there were three "perfect minutes" in a row, managed by Sue Perkins (on "bath time"), Jeremy Hardy (on "bringing home the bacon"), and Tony Hawks (on "jumping to conclusions").
 * From the 2012 TV series, given the subject "Pardon my French", Gyles Brandreth, Tony Hawks and Nicholas Parsons all start playing the game in fluent French for the first half of the minute, much to Paul Merton's bewilderment.
