 Incidentally, despite the fact that the top-quality upgrades of the various shows from this CD collection will be available to download for free from the internet at some point, I really believe in buying this commercially just out of principal.

This is an interesting post... gee, we’ve had some interesting, thoughtful posts recently that have been most enjoyable to read.

 

Mark, I wonder if you would post some of your other comedy interests, I’d just be interested to see them. I do agree – and I think Paul Merton once made a similar remark – that part of the enjoyment of JAM is that it can be played in different styles, and enjoyed on different levels. And there’s an old saying that goes something like “"once you try to analyse why a joke is funny, the joke disappears...”. Still it’s fun to talk about.

<soapbox>

As with the peculiarly oblique and ineffable appeal of R.E.M., if one could ever reach a clear conclusion to the meaning of JAM, it will lose its powerful joy.

To me, it is the fact that it is so varied in its observation of rules, its catholic delivery styles, and its ever-shifting "purpose" that it continues to be fresh and curiously attractive over the decades.

Once the mystery goes, interest soon follows. Like children, we keep listening because the ground of JAM keeps shifting under our feet and it fascinates us. It defies definitive classification. While we *want* to finally categorise it and earmark it and say we grok it, the adult in us hopes we never will because after that point, it loses its flavour.

I once read that it's the faults in our partners that we love, not their perfections. It's the crooked teeth in our favourite actors that endear them to us, not their pearly Hollywood caps: and it's the eccentric oddities of JAM that keep me coming back, and analysing it too much starts to defeat my own enjoyment of it.

Subject: [just-a-minute] OT: original Does the Team Think? also My Music

 

Dear All

Dave, in a recent post, mentioned the show Does the Team Think?. When I'm thinking about this, I'm not thinking about the recent rubbish (IMVHO!) revival with Vic and Bob, but the original show, hosted by McDonald Hobley, starring a variation of Jimmy Edwards, Ted Ray, Arthur Askey, Cyril Fletcher etc etc

Does anyone have any of these to share? They seem to be virtually unobtainable anywhere...

While I'm scrounging, does anyone have any My Music episodes (Steve Race, Ian Wallace, Frank Muir etc)

Many, many thanks and apologies for the OT post

Best wishes
Rob

The Guardian is reporting that as part of the 45th anniversary celebrations, JAM will record shows in India.

That's great news, I bet the audience response will be totally crazy!

And speaking of audience response, another thing I imagine regarding the JAM shows is that it sounds like the audience response in locations *outside* of London on average are better than the shows recorded in London?

I just read this today on the BBC website:

Meanwhile, Mr Thompson also announced a new online venture dubbed "Audiopedia", which would make speech programmes from the BBC archive available to download.

Users will be able to search for shows by programme, subject or person, he said.

The scheme follows the success of putting 500 archive episodes of Desert Island Discs online, generating a total of five million downloads, while every edition of Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time is also available to download.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15541175

It will be interesting to see what this means for us comedy fans.

Love David

Hi all,

Just got back from seeing Tony's show at the Lowry in Salford. I really enjoyed it - he performs some songs, some of his own and some from other people, does a silly Powerpoint presentation, talks about his life and is generally most amusing. It's a very Radio 4 type of evening.

Interestingly he did a short segment on doing Just A Minute at the Lowry when Nicholas got an award - I think this was the same show that Miriam saw. He says he later ran into Nicholas while Tony was performing and Nicholas was in the same town promoting his book. I don't know that was just for the show in Salford but, just in case he does it elsewhere again, I won't spoil his punchline.

If I had one tip, think of a question to ask him - you write it on a bit of paper so don't have to shout it out - and you may win a prize. He's also selling the DVD and CD of the film for a few quid and did a signing session after the show.

All in all, a good night out and most recommended.

Cheers

Come on everyone!

We've got Nick and he's still doing fine.

Surely we shouldn't be having a "next chairman" discussion. I hope we don't have to for many years to come.

I think the traits you are describing suggest Tony is turning into the new Clement Freud – vaguely curmudgeonly, interested in the game as a game, quite capable of the extremely witty comment. I think he could well develop into the guy who will keep the competitive side of the show going.

... But in a kind way, the Nicholas kind of way. If Clement were the chairman I am afraid he would have been far too much like you described a while ago, if the chairman was replaced by a computer.
In my mind Clement definitively was a panellist, not a chairman.
Another person I absolutely adore is Graham. But I do not think he would make a good chairman at all... his place in the JAM picture is as a regular panellist.

On a chairman, I think Gyles is most likely to be the next chairman – he is the closest to Nicholas in style, sort of hammy, good sense of comedy timing, and someone who could clearly become a target for leg-pulling, teasing and straight-out insults.

I see your point there. But isn't he almost *too* like Nickholas? And maybe too old, too? not that the next chairman would have to be expected to keep going for 50 years or so, but still...

 

The others I see as possibilities are Julian Clary and Liza Tarbuck. Julian in particular would take the chairman’s role in a different direction, but a fun one. Liza already acts a bit like a straight man and I can see that working too.

Julian! Haha, omg, that would be interesting to hear. I love Julian, but as a chairman?
It would be a very different direction indeed, but maybe, just maybe that's the exactly right thing to do?

Interesting thought.
Heres hoping we can discuss this topic for many, many more years with Nick in the chair!

...and mine uses the tags to display information about what's playing too - track name, album name, artist name...

I don't know what tool you use but I use Mp3tag, I can recommend it highly, it is very user-friendly

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

I also run series sets of programs through MP3Gain to normalise the volumes, especially necessary if they don't all come from the same source

http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

to complete the set (do it first though) I top and tail mp3s using mp3DirectCut which does so without decoding and re-encoding as some do

http://mpesch3.de1.cc/mp3dc.html

All assumes you're using a Windows PC obviously.

I'm sure others will have their favourite tools too

It is good to share....

Hi Espen. You're welcome for the upload.

It's only relatively recently that I've discovered ID3 tags - I've always pooh-poohed them in the past, until I realised that MP3 players actually use the tags to determine play order instead of filenames!

I have received mine and I think the problem is not the liner but that the CDs with the Derek Nimmo shows are marked “Best of Clement Freud”and vice versa. I assume this is the same for everyone? This is annoying but in the end you buy these things for the discs themselves. The recordings are top quality. There are no introductions or new material though but you will be able to throw away old average quality recordings for many of the old shows.

My JAM Classic Collection has arrived :) The 11 CDs are stacked on a top of each other on a spindle. It's an efficient way to ship 11 CDs I suppose, but I am always concerned that the discs scratch one another when they rotate or move around the spindle. Now to check for the errors in the liner notes ... :)

Yes I think they may think so too - but I actually disagree with that. There are plenty comedians to pick from as panellists. Chairman on the other hand... That's more difficult I think. And Tony has that particular british elegance, he's obviously funny but also has a keen eye for the rules and the english language.

I really, really believe in him as the chairman. Who else, really?
Anyone else has a good candidate? I'd love to read your reasoning. :)

Of course you may know if any have signed up. Maybe they just read the emails under a pseudonym.

This is all allowable as there is no requirements to prove you are the named person on the ticket, and there is no requirement to give the name of the second person. Thus one could apply for tickets and pass them on if not needed. I was successful in getting two tickets on my first go, though I only needed one, and no one in the group wanted it, and another claimed it was tantamount to fraud, which it clearly was not, but which put a dampener on the idea. I think the thread was called Group Solidarity. If you want to bear the sniping from the sidelines we could try that again.

Chairman Rob Brydon? Like Tony, he's controlled and interesting (and his man-trapped-in-a-box voice is great).
Chairman Julian Clary?  Now that would be interesting, but not to everyone's taste, I'd suspect.

Nick-lovers may want to skip the rest of this message...

The thing about Nic I'd have to say (meaning no disrespect) is that he's really just BLAND. He's the plain plate that best shows the magnificence of the meal upon it.
He does his job (at a plate) to deliver the richness of the guest morsels thereupon.

In fact whenever he _tries_ to be clever (e.g. with his attempts at doing accents or delivering ripostes), it often backfires and he's once again the goofy friend that makes the others look clever in comparison.

To keep up the tradition, one needs to find another (again, no disrespect intended) rather slow, vain, drab game show host...

O dear.  that didn't come out right at all.  I hope Nick doesn't google* ! _this_ message...
