You're surely not talking about Saturday night, prime time TV Julian
Clary one of the highest-pay-cheques-on-the-BBC are you? All the
others would surely jump at the chance. Personally I wouldn't miss
Julian from JAM, he adds little beyond the same joke over and over
again - the joke being that he's gay ... how often can one man
reveal the fact in double-entendre and still get a laugh?

Also, it a bit more than a 'five nights a year' if you're
travelling from London to Manchester or Edinburgh or Glasgow and
staying overnight in these places (no choice if you're travelling by
train these days). London shows will become fewer and fewer as the
BBC is prized out of London at long last, so it wont just be a case
of a 45 minute walk from Great Portland Street!
