I thought it was a pretty good show. These days shows without Paul Merton usually don’t go really well. This oen wasn’t a top quality show, but it was better than most of the recent non-Paul shows.

Alun Cochrane is always okay but doesn’t get involved enough. Patrick Kielty started well but faded a bit. Tony Hawks – I don’t know, I just feel he isn’t as good a player as he was 10 years ago. It was Gyles who was the real star. There’s a good example at the very beginning of the show. Tony starts the first subject and is meandering really and the audience isn’t responding. Gyles takes over and within seconds people are roaring with laughter. It would have been a very poor show without him. And he never resorts to the old rhymes any more. I reckon Gyles is getting better and better. I won’t be surprised at all if he is brought back for the last recording of this series in early September.

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).
