I am trying to find an episode with Linda Smith and Paul Merton- they were discussing the Jam in Jammy Dodgers but I don't think that was the subject and it doesn't seem to be under the subject Jam according to the Subject Guide at Dean's page. Thanks. Miriam

Hi Miriam. I listened to this one again just yesterday. The subject was "Fillings" and it was episode 482, (6 January 2003).

I miss Linda. Probably the funniest off-the-cuff remark ever, from episode 582 (and thank-you Dean for the transcript):

LS: Lewis Carroll, while undoubtedly a fine writer, also had a strange affiliation with young girls which these days would probably have him...

BUZZ

NP: Oh! Clement challenged.

CF: I thought they were boys. No, that's JM Barrie!

LS: Well, well Clement, well Clement, you're going to have to change that entry in your I Spy Book Of Victorian Paedophiles, aren't you!

LOUD LAUGHTER FROM GN, LS AND THE AUDIENCE

You beat me to the response -- I should have checked the replies before I started Googling. :)

Indeed, episode 482. Is this the exchange?

LS: Fillings, well all sorts of things in this world have fillings. Biscuits for example, jammy dodgers have a filling which seems to be some kind of sticky red conserve. I can only...

BUZZ

NP: Paul Merton challenged.

PM: It's jam!

NP: Jam can also be called a conserve.

LS: I was...

PM: She wasn't sure what it was.

LS: I was conserving the word jam for a later moment.

PM: Ah!

NP: I, I don't think it was, I mean...

PM: No, I thought Linda was confused as to what it was.

NP: No, no, no, no, no, I think...

LS: No that's Nicholas, he's confused as to where we are!

NP: Yes! I don't think so! The ah Paul, a keen challenge but it was incorrect, so Linda, another point to you, you keep the subject, 51 seconds still available on fillings starting now.

LS: I think it must be some kind of sports jam, because it seems to be about 30 percent lighter...

BUZZ

NP: Paul challenged.

PM: No, it's just jam. Just jam.

LS: Well I beg to differ, I think it's much stretchier than your normal jam.

PM: No, no, no...

LS: I don't think a normal jam has the give of jammy dodger jam.

PM: I think you'll find it's jam that's just been sitting on the shelf for a long time.

NP: Yes.

PM: The stretchability that you see is attributed to longevity of the jam.

LS: I think Paul, you have a lot to learn about jam technology.

NP: I know!

PM: Do you know that jam is also an acronym for Just A Minute?

APPLAUSE FROM THE AUDIENCE

PM: Thank you!

BUZZ

LS: Deviation from the subject of jam!

NP: Devi, listen, you're not even talking in the, on the subject! You've been having a cooking talk and so forth! Paul the audience enjoyed your interruption but it wasn't a correct challenge. We give you a bonus point because of the response you received. Linda you still have the subject, you've got a point because you were interrupted. Forty-seven seconds available for fillings starting now.

I love this particular episode too, thanks for reminding me of the number, I shall dig it out and listen again.

I've always thought Linda says it's "30 percent lycra", not lighter!

They then go on to talk about the jam's stretchability so it seems reasonable to me.

What do others think?

Thanks for the quick answers.

I had a mentioned it to a friend recently but couldn't remember which show or what the actual subject was.

We had been in a store ( usa) that had Jammy Dodgers in their International Foods section.

I just got out my cds that I made last year that have Christmas JAM's and Clues on them to play in the car as I drive around. I am finally getting into the Christmas Spirit-in the usa Christmas things start appearing in October!
