"Hair of the Dog" was definitely an interesting episode. Firstly, Paul alludes to Brexit several times without actually mentioning it. Secondly, Sheila alluded to Clement without mentioning his name with her remark: "I think this is verging on hesitation. It's what somebody else on our panel used to do years ago, of going... very... slowly... like... that, and it is a form, in my opinion, of hesitation".

This episode was recorded on the afternoon of July 21, a few weeks after both the vote to leave the EU and the revelations about Clement's dark past.

Also, there's an obvious edit point after the Sun Cream round where it cuts to Nicholas giving out the final scores, so we didn't get to hear the final round, or indeed Nicholas's usual remark "and we're moving into the final round". Anyone know what the subject was?

I think the reason the BBC originally announced this as 6 episodes was because the series started on August 8, and the two Edinburgh episodes weren't recorded until the evening of August 9 (one at 5.30pm, the other at 7pm), so they only had the 6 episodes recorded in July ready to broadcast.

Thankfully, the Freud allegations haven't stopped the Beeb from making or broadcasting new JAM, so I'm hoping it will continue until, at least, Episode 1000. Long Live Nicholas Parsons, CBE.
