Hello, I'm new here having just found the group.

I have enjoyed browsing the links to JAM episodes and other shows, but
sadly some of them on sendspace have now expired. I twould be great if
they could be updated.

I have a fairly large collection of radio comedy that I am more than
willing to share.

Steve.

Hi everyone!

Oh there are many... Kit Hesketh-Harvey, Ross Noble and Greg Proops to
mention three of the absolute favorites, but above them all: Graham
Norton. His comments are almost without exception hillarious, and
noone has ever beaten the audience response he got for the "only pussy
Hillary don't mind Bill stroking"-joke.

Norton, Noble, Freud, Hesketh-Harvey. Four completely different
personalities, all with their unique style.

Norton. It's been a while now...!

I would have skipped to the next show. I can't stand Kenneth Williams.
His over-acting and eager for attention spoils every show he's in.
This is why I've hardly listened to any show pre 90s and I can't
understand why he was a regular for so long. He doesnt fit in at all -
he should have been a member of the "Mad" crew instead...

Clintons cat.

Never, but we plan on travelling to the UK next year if we get tickets!

Never... But I'd love to try.

Hmmm... Nicolas Parsons I guess, to ask

I do not know how any of them look except Norton, Parsons, Noble,
Merton and Hawks! I live in Norway, and british comedians/actors are
mostly unknown to me.

"Why I love JAM"

- Living in Norway
- Age 39
- my JAM collection as of today is 679 regular radio
episodes - I guess this is more or less the number all around?

However, a while ago I startet working on restoring the audio quality
and level on some of the shows. I've also found different sources on a
few of the shows thats incomplete (but better audio quality) on this
site, and thus been able to splice a couple of incomplete recordings
with the missing parts lifted from other recordings.

I will make my entire collection avaiable to you all when the work is
done.
