Episode 2

John Humphrys gives 28 performers 60 seconds each to entertain. With Arthur Smith and Carrie Quinlan. From January 2008.

28 performers have just 60 seconds in which to entertain the audience in this traditional variety show.

Featuring established stand-ups, and some newer talent

The whole thing is presided over by John Humphrys, who sits at the side of the stage with a stopwatch, ready to cut the microphone when the time is up.

And hey - if there's an act you don't like, well, there's another one along in 55 seconds or so...
