Hi All

Interesting the view on habits really. We are creatures of habit and change is difficult no matter what it involves. Change needs to be gradual and thats why the odd new presenter would be good for the show and allow people to hear things in a different light. As we dont have a theme to follow on JAM, people can dip in and out without missing anything, unlike TV soaps.

As for the BBC, in my view they actually do too much and try to cater for everyone and this does stretch resources, so cuts have to me made. Although in recent years the beeb has been buying in productions rather than a commission and budget spend. We dont seem to be getting the quality shows that we expected from the BBC and they dont nurture writers or producers that the industry needs. I am thinking here on the comedy side as an example. We used to spend time getting to know the characters in the shows and follow them (only fools and horses), but everything seems rushed. I was listening to an old JAM today and the way Clement or Kenneth used to drag out the speech would turn a lot of younger ones off today.

Just my views, so dont jump at me lol

When Nick dies, so will Just a Minute. Just my opinion.

Didn't work for Clue though, 'cos when Jack Dee took over it took on a new lease of life, but then again Clue is a different show to Just a Minute. Then again, I also don't think Clue would work without two of the three that are Graeme, Tim or Barry. Not even the tuneless wonder Jeremy Hardy could fill their gap (even Jeremy would agree with that) Again, just my opinion.

It's interesting that 'Desert Island Disks' is celebrating its 70th birthday this year... and still going strong.

It's hard to imagine programmes like JAM and Clue carrying on for another 40 years,
