I was introduced to JAM because a local seattle radio station began airing the BBC World Service after midnight till 6am-I couldn't sleep one night and was listening to the radio when it came on
- I knew who Paul Merton was ( this was in the late 90's) and I had had heard about N.Parsons and a couple of the panelists. I instantly fell in love with the show. I used to set a timer on my radio/cassette player to record the show in the middle of the night.

Clue I got into more because I knew who Tim brooke taylor and graeme garden were- via the The Goodies but way back in the mid 1970's another local radio station aired ISIRTA for 2 yrs
- my friends & I were totlly hooked on that show- even if half the jokes went over our Young american heads.On a trip to London in the 90's I bought a Clue tape just because of who was in it- I had never heard the show before.

Now with the radio 4 listen again feature and bbc 7 I can listen to new and old favorites.

And I also want to put in a Big Thank you to those who have posted file links here to JAM and other comedy show- keeps my mp3 player full of humor to help me get through the day. Miriam
