Junior Just A Minute
Sadly, it's true:

I'd be fascinated to know what the listenership is. One of my kids took part in an episode of Big Toe Radio Show on the then Radio 7, organised by a friend, on a Saturday afternoon. Which was fun: Kirsten O'Brien was presenting, who was very good company in the breaks. But I got to see at close quarters the fact that when they threw the phone lines open, they got precisely no calls for twenty minutes. On the face of it, one might suspect that they were broadcasting with the aerial replaced with a dummy load...
All very real indeed. https://www.comedy.co.uk/news/story/000001204/junior_just_a_minute_on_radio_4_extra/
I can imagine them scouring schools for a deep, fruity Clement-a-like. Although everything can be adapted to junior versions, it does seem this goes a bit far.
I can't help feeling that it will be represented by the same children who were on Ask the Family...
.......had it been pitched at a slightly older age, it could have been a new Blockbusters -
Hope it works. I was a bit disappointed by the radio documentary on the Indian versions of JAM. However, Nicholas is incredible. He turns 90 in October and still sounds fresh.
By contrast, there are broadcasters on the radio who have lost their voices before the age of 70. Mustn't wear himself out, though, before that all important call from Michael Eavis!
