Hello All,
Beeing a huge fan of JAM, I've been enjoying this
discussion group for some time now and empathise with you all.
I'm from
Portugal and English is my third language so I apologise for my poor spelling
and grammar.
There is something you might be able to help me with. I would
very much like to watch a live recording of JAM at Broadcasting house this year.
since I'm from Abroad there is much planning involved and to start this idea off
I'd like to ask you guys where and how I can/should secure some ticketes to a
recording. Or might it be easyer to look for a Recording at another venue -
something like the fringe festival or something like that. Is there an updated
list of preformances for this next season? Who should I talk to?
Oh, and I'd
love to see Paul Merton in the crew.
I welcome any
sugestions.
Yours,
Marc

Personally I've been dismayed that since I signed up for this notification I've only ever been informed of tickets available for shows in London and never received notification of shows in places such as Derby and Lincoln which are close for me to attend. I wonder if this is because they have been held in Universities and tickets haven't been available to the general public.

Some of us old timers used to go to recordings as often as possible by calling the ticket office when they became available, applying for the tickets and more often than not getting them. Now one stands no chance. Its very disheartening if you are someone who has been going to recordings of things for over 20 years to not be able to any more.

it seems the a lot of the just a minute shows seem to be recorded in london
or in universities that don;t make tickets aviliable to the public now . would
it not be better for the recordings to be done in the same manner as i'm sorry i
haven't a clue's are . for clue each recording is at a different theatre in a
different city ( there are 3 in the summer and 3 in the winter ) and you get the
tickets from the relvant theatres box office . it is still a bit of a crapshot
wheather you get a ticket or not as the shows are as popular as ever though
usually if you stick at dialling the relevant box office perseverance conquers .
it should really be easier to see jam then clue as jam has a lot more recordings
.
cheers

It’s a simple calculation kJ. If you are entertained for an average of just two hours a day by bbc tv and/or radio, that is costing you £0.20 per hour. 20p per hour. Where else could you get such value?
Having experienced commercial tv in this country and in the US and Oz, I would willingly pay twice as much for the license in order to retain not only the quality of the programmes that the BBC produce, but also the advert free platform.
What a lot of complainers (no kJ, I am not labeling you as a complainer) in this country do not seem to realize is that the BBC is the envy of the broadcasting world.

I shan't be drawn on whether the licence fee is worth the money as there are
very strongly held opinions on that subject.
However it isn't compulsory to have a TV licence - only if you want to watch
live TV which, granted, most people do. You do not need a TV licence to listen
to the radio and you don't need one if you only watch programmes from
"catch-up" or "on demand" sources, e.g. iPlayer, via the
Internet.

Also, I've never figured out, does any one know this ....
How come the buzzers sound quite different from show to show?
Surely some sound engineer doesn't rig them up from scratch for each recording? One of the ways I like to listen to JAM is while I fall asleep. There's one set of 'buzzers' that sound exactly like my doorbell and when one of those shows comes around it always wakes me up with a jerk <grumble>.
