Definitely a comedy, rather than a game show. Over the years I had a love/hate respect for Clement Freud. He was certainly witty, clever and entertaining. But would occasionally irritate me when being pedantic about the rules. Also, because I listen to it as a comedy, I am not greatly bothered by what may seem like a loose or varying interpretation of the rules by Nicholas. I just listen for the laughs!

Can I ask:

Do most people listen to JAM as a game show or a comedy (or maybe both)?

When I see posts about mistakes or errors in the show I wonder if others see JAM as a game show.

Personally I am of the ISIHAC perspective where the points, winners and errors don't really matter to me so much. I listen for the laughs and entertainment.

I just wondered how others felt.

Love as always, David
