from a previous age and even in the 70s was too close to the bone for
a politically correct Radio 4 including lines that would definitely
be called racist today and no doubt the feminists of the time would
have much to say about his performances.
The name I would like people to consider is recent; Charles
Collingwood. Not necessarily because of his contributions, but
because in the first few episodes he appeared in the chemisty with
Clement, Paul and Tony Hawks seemed to produce some of the most
hilarious episodes of recent times. In fact I challenge anyone to
come up with a funnier pair of episodes from one recording than the
two from Wimbledon that this foursome produced #558 "The Wombles" and
#560 "Ballroom Dancing" in 2003. I might go so far as to
say "Ballroom Dancing" is my favourite ever episode and is certainly
the one I encourage people to listen to when I am introducing them to
JAM.
Perhaps as he appears more and becomes more accomplished the novelty
will wear off - but so far this blundering "new boy" has repeatedly
had me in stitches.

Yes, I almost mentioned that Charles Collingwood episode but thought
I'd gone on too much already. happily i think we will see him back -
because he helps with a different blend as he is an actor as you say.
Bob monkhouse was excellent, such a professional, but it was in that
series where a special guest came along for each episode and the
experiment was never repeated, Kenny Everett was another. I also
remember Lorraine Chase, a flash-in-the- pan 'star' of the time with
the unlikely catch phrase of 'Luton airport'. She was utterly
hopeless and out of her depth but caused much hilarity, especially
when Peter Jones started chatting her up. Clement Freud can be heard
laughing so much in the background he must have nearly fallen off his
chair.

actually one of my favorite bits I think came from last year or even
the year before, I'm not sure, when he was on the panel with Paul,
Tony and Sue Perkins, and the subject was 'Admiral Collingwood' and
just as he gets going he has the subject taken away and soon people
start saying outrageous things about this man who was in fact
Charles' ancestor, and Charles gets so upset he starts challenging
and not only that throws such a tantrum that would make even Kenneth
Williams proud, because it reminded me once of something similar that
happened to Kenneth when he was on the panel with Clement, Derek and
Patrick Moore and the subject was 'McGreegy' or something, and
Kenneth had read up all about the man and had lots to say and has the
subject taken away from him when he hardly gotten going and was so
upset, but not quite to the same level that Charles

The subject was "Macready" and Kenneth was so upset he mentioned it in
his diary written when he got home. But as so often with Kenneth when he
was really genuinely aggrieved after an initial burst he actually sulked
rather than keeping on about it.
This is the diary entry.
Friday 29 October 1976
Went to the Paris Studio for JAM. It was awful. Patrick Moore
successfully challenging my line on Macready: "one of the great
actor-managers of England" by saying "England's never been managed." And
the idiot Parsons allowing it! Oh my loathing for this rotten game!
On the last sentence it should be noted that Kenneth's view of the show
was inconsistent - this was his entry for Monday 2 August 1976, just a
couple of months earlier...
Got the contract for JAM and thought "bless the BBC" before I posted
it...

that's one of my favourite programmes - in the diaries Kenneth says it
was he that asked the producer to include her on the show. I thought
Lorraine was delightful and if memory serves she did come second, albeit
with some help from the others!
Have a burning question? Go to Yahoo! Answers and get answers from real people who know.
Kenneth Williams got so worked up about these things! Such strong
language. I was listening to a Kenneth episode last night and remarked
that I'd have been afraid to challenge him lest I get slapped or
something--not that he would, you know, but he sure had a short fuse
at times. My roommate (not a JAM fan but finds them enjoyable when I
have them playing) is very frightened of him.

Wow, I hope a BBC archivist is listening in and sneaks a copy out and
onto the net for us! Blackmarket JAM bootleg episodes .... sounds
good to me.

That woman was Nyree Dawn Porter, as far as I can remember. I honestly
wonder what Kenneth did or said to make her leave in tears. I'd love
to know when exactly this incident took place, to satisfy my curiosity.
