Another individual I nominate for the Brief but Memorable category
has to be Tim Brooke-Taylor. He made three appearances on the
programme, and evidently on his first appearance denounced Clement
Freud and also won that programme handsomely. on his last two
appearances he sat next to Barry Took, and was still just as
brilliant, because Tim had a sort of rebellious nature which was
quite refreshing in that he outright refused to finish an anecdote
pertaining to his time on the Goodies just because Nicholas told him
to finish it. He was great at getting bonus points and for the
banter and also arguing over points and for the decisions and so on.
he fit into the JAM mold like he was always meant for that show, and
its a shame he hasn't been on the show more often.
