There is an ebook available that lists the archive status of thousands of old shows from radio and television, but it's not cheap:

Perhaps a few of us on here should club together and get a copy to share?

Kaleidoscope also have a database of lost tv shows at lostshows.com

If you enter Just A Minute into their search engine you'll see that all episodes of the show made by ITV and BBC in the nineties still exist. I don't suppose there's much chance of any of them being repeated again or released on DVD, but hopefully they'll make them available for download at some point in the future so that we can complete our collections. ;-)

As the BBC has wiped so much of their history it's more likely that the missing episodes will turn up from overseas stations who broadcast the show.

There may be more information on the missing JAMs in the BBC Written Archives but access is restricted to "accredited academic institutions and commercial researchers" only. You have to book in advance and pay to visit:

Do we know which countries actually broadcast JAM?
