Sad and surprising news. Have always been a fan of Clements and so shocked to find out what kind of person he really was.

As for the BBC there is no chance they will broadcast or release any episodes of JAM featuring Clement as they will not want to in any way further pain the victims, their families or friends - and who knows how many more will come forward in the future (if any) - and they will be very mindful of what has happened with all the other exposures of celebs over the last half decade or so. It wont be the first occasion where this has happened considering who has been revealed to have had very dark and unpleasant past.

No idea where that leaves JAM when it reaches 50 as it is very difficult to look back and not at least mention Clement considering how often he appeared and how much he contributed. Along with Nicolas, Kenneth, Peter, Clement and Derek guided it thru the 70's and 80's (with many significant contributions from others) and then Paul, Tony, Julian etc have kept it up to date thru the 90's till now. Its going to be very difficult to not mention someone who was on the first panel, was on it for 33 years, and featured in 544 episodes.
