Hi

showing even more age
Peter Jones and Sheila Hancock from the rag trade (which if you caught all gas and gaiters you should have seen this too)
Interestingly clement only from JAM - missed his TV appearances
many of the newer comedians have been merely voices until the playing of QI out here in Australia; and Graham Norton's show has been being relayed so he is now a bit more well known here.

On a side note - how many people get the digest version? This has two impacts: I couldn't do the polls as by the time i got to read the digest the poll was closed, and could some people trim their exchanges - it gets difficult to find the new material in digests full of loooong interactions.

It definitely is annoying for the digest readers if people don't trim their posts.

As to the poll, every time I closed one, I immediately opened the next, so there would always have been one open.

Having said that, do all the digests come out at the same time each day? If there is a common time, we could try and time the polls around that next time. Or we could just keep them open longer, though personally I liked the pace of having one per day, the quickish turn-around.

Incidentally, if you're interested in how many get the digests go to the members section on the group website - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/just-a-minute/members
you can see there who has chosen digests/individual emails/no emails at all and do a count-up. (I'm assuming you can all see this and it isn't just open to me to see.)

cheers, Dean

I can see everyone.

How do you tell who is Instant and who is digest ?

It's not obvious from my view...

Out of interest, where is the JAM Group trampoline located?

Many members are 'bouncing', apparently.... :)) laughing

The real answer is here...

There really is summat wrong with your email address LC.

Even the JAM Yahoo group cannot get a reply so you're marked as Bouncing in the members list.

Just returning this thread to the subject and not deviating from the subject........

Where can you find 5 minor JAMmers in one place.

Here......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn6Mm38C1bc

You only get the fifth point, a bonus point, if you can find the fifth celebrity.

Or Espen can nab the question for the JAM exam. It would be good to have some visuals. But you can only have it, if you can answer it.

Dave

P.S. There is more of interest in the right hand list on youtube...Barry, Tim, ISIHAC and for nostalgia check out the Betamax years for a belly laugh.

Oh yes, a bit of reminiscing!

The first time I encountered Paul Merton (knowingly) was on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Radio 1, back when "Paul Merton: The Series" was just starting, and he was doing the interview circuit to promote it. I had seen him on TV before, but didn't know his name until then.

Classic foursome: As with Dave B, I used to read "Grimble", so that's where Clement Freud came in. And Kenneth Williams was always in the background with Carry On, Willo the Wisp, etc. Peter Jones was the voice of The Book. I can't remember where I first saw Derek Nimmo, but I have a strong memory of his guest appearance in Neighbours (when Madge and Harold visited England, he played an eccentric lord).

As for Nicholas Parsons, I first saw him in a stage show in Chichester, which I can't remember much about except that I believe he played God. I was very young and it was a Sunday School trip. I don't think I had any knowledge of anything else he'd done at that point, except that he must be famous because his name was big in the programme.

Kit Hesketh-Harvey was also someone I was aware of before I got into JAM. I saw his double-act, Kit and the Widow, several times. (Website: http://www.kitandthewidow.com )
