"ONE MINUTE, PLEASE!"
\VELLINGTON’S popular comedy programme, One Minute, Please, will be on the air again from 2YA next week for a new series of 13 episodes. The show is a kind of battle of the sexes in which two teams of three, men on one side and women on the other, try to out-talk each other on a variety of ludicrous or controversial subjects. Each speaker is limited to one minute, and has to fight his or her way through a barrage of ringing bells, tootling whistles and barking klaxons which are wielded by the show’s "censor," Ulric Williams, compére and producer of the new series. One Minute, Please, is recorded in the Regal Theatre, Karori, each Saturday night at 8 o’clock before the film starts, and any member of the public who wishes to see it in action
on the stage can go along for the price of an ordinary theatre admission ticket. It is broadcast each Tuesday at 7.30 p.m. from 2YA. The first episode will be re-
corded at the Regal Theatre at 8.0 p.m. on Saturday, July 3, and will be broadcast from 2YA at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 13. One Minute, Please, will continue at the same time for the next 13 weeks. The team for the first broadcast of the new series will be Toby Easterbrook-Smith, Don Boyd, Ernest Le Grove, Edna Wiggs, Patricia Lowe and Joan McInnes,
