On 9 November 1979, Rice hosted a highly publicised edition of ''[[Friday Night, Saturday Morning]]'' on the BBC which had a [[Friday Night, Saturday Morning#Monty Python's Life of Brian|heated debate]] on the newly released film ''[[Monty Python's Life of Brian]]'', a film that had been banned by many local councils and caused protests throughout the world with accusations that it was [[blasphemous]] (as the lyricist of ''Jesus Christ Superstar'', Rice himself had been accused of blasphemy a decade before). To argue in favour of this accusation were veteran broadcaster and noted Christian [[Malcolm Muggeridge]] and [[Mervyn Stockwood]] (the [[Bishop of Southwark (Anglican)|Bishop of Southwark]]). In defence of the film were two members of the [[Monty Python]] team, [[John Cleese]] and [[Michael Palin]].<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25464820 Cleese and Palin relive the 1979 Life of Brian debate], ''BBC News''. 30 December 2013.

Rice has also been a frequent guest panellist for many years on the radio panel games ''[[Just a Minute]]'' and ''[[Trivia Test Match]]''. He also made an appearance in the film ''[[About a Boy (film)|About a Boy]]''. The film includes several clips from an edition of the game show ''[[Countdown (game show)|Countdown]]'' on which he was the guest adjudicator. His other interests include cricket (he was president of the [[Marylebone Cricket Club]] in 2002) and maths. He wrote the foreword to the book ''Why Do Buses Come In Threes'' by [[Rob Eastaway]] and Jeremy Wyndham, and featured prominently in [[Tony Hawks]]'s ''[[One Hit Wonderland]]'', where he co-wrote the song which gave Hawks a top twenty hit in Albania. On 2 December 2010 he addressed the eighth [[Bradman Oration]] in [[Adelaide]]. In October 2011 and November 2016 to February 2017, Rice was guest presenter for the [[BBC Radio 2]] show ''[[Sounds of the '60s]]'', standing in for regular presenter [[Brian Matthew]] who was unwell.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wqlv/episodes/2011|title="Episodes from Sounds of the 60s broadcast in 2011" at bbc.co.uk|work=BBC|access-date=28 September 2014}}</ref>
