	Obituary: Ian Messiter Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		IAN C. MESSITER, as he was originally billed, was the creator of "perhaps the most deceptively simple, enduring, popular and much- copied comedy game on radio or television anywhere".
		Ian Messiter, who dreamed up the extraordinary topics running from such everyday subjects as "The Most Extraordinary Person I Ever Met" and "Plums", to "Wilhelm Furtwangler" (with or without the umlaut) and "Parbuckles", based his game on a real-life incident which happened to him as a 13-year- old schoolboy and clearly scarred him for life.
		Ian Cassan Messiter was born in 1920 at Dudley in Worcestershire.

	BBC News \| ENTERTAINMENT \| Messiter's game show magic
		Messiter, who was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, received the inspiration for the BBC Radio verbal dexterity quiz while still at school.
		Contestants were asked to talk on a given topic for 60 seconds, gaining points by challenging their rivals from departing from the rules or by being the person still speaking at the end of the minute.
		The BBC took the royalties because the idea had been conceived while Messiter was under contract.

	Just a Minute
		The premise of the game came to Ian Messiter[?] as he rode on the top of a number 13 bus, recalling a particularly cruel headmaster from his school days, who punished him with the task of speaking for sixty seconds without hesitating or repeating himself.
		To this, he added a rule preventing players deviating from the subject presented by the show's chairman, as well as a scoring system based on panelists' correct and incorrect challenges.
		Ian Messiter sat quietly on the stage with a stopwatch and blew a whistle when the speaker's minute was up.
