audience for Peter Jones as the years pass by has transmitted to me
over the years. Listening to JAM a s a kid this just never came
across to me. Perhaps as I get older I just appreciate how genuinely
very funny and witty he was, as well as a an incredibly nice person.

about those gentlemen until long after I had pretty much gotten
caught up with the series as a whole.
