I think Bruce, Ayres & Punt would definitely have heard of JAM. Bruce regularly mentions it, but whether he did before appearing on it, I'm not sure. Pam Ayres listens to Radio 4 all the time & has said so many times, and Punt MUST have heard of it, since he specialises in "mocking" humour & JAM & Nicholas are easy targets.

O'Connor, & Wilmot are comedians and would probably have heard about it when discussing work.

Balding, Cashman, Sargeant, Sewell are more specialised (sports presenter, actor, news reporter & arts critic) & possibly would not be aware, although I can imagine Sargeant & Sewell are regular Radio 4 listeners, more than Cashman or Balding.

So my vote is for Cashman or Balding.

By the way, nobody's mentioned it yet, but Gyles Brandreth was the guest on last Sunday's Desert Island Discs (repeated this Friday and available on the iPlayer for a few more days.) I enjoyed it, although on TV his smugness irritates me.

So who do you think was so outside Radio Four and radio comedy listening that they had never heard of Just A Minute?
