Thanks to the generosity of Martin, Emile and so many others here,
Episode 436 (1994-01-15) is the only one from Dean's favorites list that
I'm still missing. I don't suppose any of you happen to have it...?

it's a cunning plan to confuse and baffle you - it's on the blog!

Twelve Great Shows (and proof I can't count...)

A friend asked me to recommend a dozen editions of JAM he could put on a
DVD for someone who had never heard the show. Here's what I came up
with...........

211/10/17 - I wanted to include some classic Derek and this one comes to
mind - also Alfred Marks as a guest must be on the list somewhere.
Kenneth and Clement make up the list.

218/10/24 - I used to offer this as my fave ever show - Aimi's attempt
to count always makes me laugh and the other rounds are all very funny
too - Kenneth, Clement and Peter with her.

231/11/12 - One guest newcomers seem to love is Magnus Pyke. This show
features classic examples of Kenneth, Peter and Derek too.

248/12/3 - Tommy Trinder is a unique and very politically incorrect
guest but seems to bring out the best in Kenneth, Clement and Peter.

273/13/4 - We must include Peter Cook somewhere surely - this one
probably the best of the three, with Kenneth, Clement and Barry Took.

275/14/2 - This show I've included largely as an example of Peter Jones
and the silliness of the guest Lorraine Chase. Kenneth and Clement great
too.

281/14/8 - Any list must include some Aimi Macdonald. This show features
the four players as subjects which is interesting and different and
Kenneth, Clement and Peter are all at their best.

293/15/6 - This includes some great Sheila Hancock including a moment
where she is laughing so hard she can't speak - great interaction with
Kenneth here. Derek and Peter wonderful too.

316/17/7 - Any list must include this show with Elaine Stritch -
possibly the single funniest show ever. And she also brings Kenneth's
best out - Clement and Barry Cryer in support.

347/20/10 - I must include a show with the gang of four - this includes
the classic Kenneth v Peter confrontation on stopping hiccups and plenty
of other very funny stuff.

398/25/10 - This features possibly the best round ever on the inoccuous
subject of "my pet" from Peter, Derek and early Paul - his breakthrough
eppy really. Dickie Murdoch is the guest and he also deserves to be on
the list somewhere. The other rounds include great moments too - Peter
on small boys playing with their nuts for example.

424/29/1 - Features Tony Slattery's debut, and Wendy Richard in her most
imperious form - very funny, was included in the first JAM compilation.
The running joke about Wendy in the car park is a classic JAM moment.
Paul and Clement in attendance.

436/30/3 - Eddie Izzard appears with Paul, Clement and Derek and is
amazingly funny.

450/31/7 - Paul Merton at his finest with greatness from Peter and Derek
too - Paul describes his 18 year trip to Venus... Steve Frost there as
well.

507/38/1 - Any list has to include some Stephen Fry - and this show is
my personal favourite - also includes some great latter-days Peter
Jones. Clement and Paul there too.

530/40/4 - Graham Norton must be included somewhere - this show features
lots of good moments including a Clinton pussy joke... Tony Hawks, Linda
and Clement with him.

605/47/7 - Features Ross Noble in fine form, and behaving like a
schoolboy with Graham. Tony Hawks and Clement make up the numbers.

622/49/3 - A recent show with a great running joke from Paul about
Nicholas being outwitted by a herbaceous border - also includes Linda
Smith who must be included somewhere. Clement and Graham also there.

I know - more than 12 - but I could easily nominate another 20 or so.

Oh my god! Talk about a Herculean task! I'd be making lists, crossing
them out again, waking up next day and tearing the paper up and
starting again .... so much to take into account. I recently passed
an episode on to a novice JAM listener (an American) and made the
mistakes that a) she didn't get some of the cultural references and
b) some of the jokes just aren't as funny if you don't know the
characters involved and/or have a grounding in previous JAM episodes.

Anyway, I'm glad to agree with many of your choices and - WOW - THERE
at last is what I always knew, there MUST be a second episode with
Eddie Izzard as a guest..... now to get hold of it!

I certainly would have included #605, #424, #275 (I think I mentioned
before as well as one of the Tommy trinder episodes)and #622 .... but
so much depends on the intended audience..... but surely there must
be #590 "Ballroom Dancing"? And the episode with Clement and Graham
where Graham talks about achieving a point of ecstacy reading the
childrens book authored by Clement when he was a boy ...... oh,
sorry, I fell into the inevitable trap. I'd better shut up here I
think.

Don't regard my list as the final word on the subject - plenty of room
for other suggestions

I didn't spend a long time over it and I probably went about it the
wrong way - so we can probably get a better list if we work at it! :)

This actually sounds like something we should try to do as a group and
put the results in the FAQ. I'm sure which episodes to use in
introducing newcomers will rank high on a list of FAQs.

sounds like a great idea! I suppose we could run a poll through the
group website? It allows you up to 25 choices - we could try to narrow
them down to what, 10?

Seeing as I suggested 18 - let's have some suggestions for at least
another 7 - if we get more than that, maybe we'll have to run the poll
through the list...

have just realised that may be confusing... I'm suggesting that if we
had 25 nominations for suggested eps, we could then vote for a list of
10 for the FAQs.
