Good to have Tony back as he adds a lot when on. A good show overall with Gyles and Nick being on top form as well I thought. I do think however that for JaM to be near its best it needs at least 3 of the older regulars on the panel as otherwise it can become a two player game with the others becoming quite quiet as the show goes on. Its difficult tho as you also have to ensure new blood is coming thru, Richard Herring being one of the more recent successful additions (and the one who comes first to mind).
