Re: Four special/exta shows with different chairs?

We all know Nicholas is a great chairman and a nice guy. But his memories of the show’s history aren’t always accurate. I think it’s possible he got mixed up with the series – season 2 – where they did alternate the chair around. But he’s also said that there was a show where they alternated the chair around round by round within one show. He also frequently says the gang of four were all together within two years – they weren’t – and that there was a long period when every show had the four regulars on – there never was. We can love Nicholas, and respect him, while forgiving his mistakes.

Anyway point is – as Emile said – there never was a JAM chaired by either Peter or Derek. Peter was a successful chairman on another show though.

Thanks for the reply. Here is the direct quotation of what Nicholas Parsons said in the interview with Ed Doolan:

"Yes, we did four shows -- a number of years ago -- they suddenly wanted four specials, well, four extras -- and they said, I know what we'll do, because we had four regulars then -- KW, PJ, DN and CF -- and so, I know, he said, the producer -- for these four extra shows we're doing, which are going out as a separate little entity, we'll put Nicholas on the panel for four shows and each of those four regulars will take the part of the chairman. There were four shows which were utterly different from anything you've ever heard and Kenneth didn't have a clue of what was going on ..."

What do you think?
