They should have started recording for the next season of JAM - anyone
been to a recording or heard any news of venues, dates or panels?

There's a thread on the BBC7 message board saying how someone enjoyed
seeing a recording at the Hay On Wye Literary Festival last week,
much to his surprise as he's not a JAM fan.

I've seen a few TV shows about the Festival, but nothing JAM-related.

Apart from that, I've nothing heard anything. I get a BBC newsletter
about Clue recordings, but not JAM. I'll have to check if they do one.

Dean, you mentioned Martin Hood digitising some rare episodes while
visiting you in April. Can they be accessed or downloaded ?

Did you trace the missing TV episodes you were looking for ?

Cheers

welcome to the group Phil :)

Can I just say to the rest of the group that Phil is one of those that
contributed to my collection so is indirectly responsible for some of
the "missing" eps you're now enjoying. Thank you very much again Phil.

Martin hasn't done the lot yet but some are available in the links
section in the "Dean's Extra Special... etc" file.

And no, I'm still missing four TV eppies. I'm guessing they probably
won't turn up now.

best, D

He seems to be a busy man these days, young Marcus. I think he gets

I too believe that Marcus will become a major fixture in years to
come.

Some interesting insight on Radio 4's Feedback programme this
week explaining how the station's audience is mainly over 40 and
the way they use comedy to cross over to the younger and future
audience. They target the 6-30pm slot which is, of course, where JAM
resides. Two women aged 34 and 56 (I think it was) were selected
to talk about two shows currently in that slot. They didn't really
like either but in passing they both expressed a great dislike for
JAM "God! It seems like its been going on forever!" etc.

Lets hope the BBC look to a more representative cross-section
about what should stay as they experiement with this slot.

Well in broadcast terms of course, 40 years is a hell of a long time. I
think the show has changed a lot in style over the years, but as the
format has stayed much the same I guess it could seem very repetitive

If you wander round the BBC website forums you do find people who seem
to really dislike the show. There was one a couple of months back who
said she couldn't understand the thinking behind the show and she put it
something like this. "Who was it who thought up the idea of bringing
together some of Britain's funniest people, people like Paul Merton,
Ross Noble, Stephen Fry and Graham Norton, you start them talking and
then have Clement Freud interrupt them when he picks up that they've
repeated AND".

You think about it like that and I suppose it is hard to explain the
appeal of the show to some people.

Just wondering how you'd (this is everyone not just Dave!) would defend
the show to this person. Let's not focus on whether there are many
challenges on "and" - I'm more interested in hearing what you think
about great comedians being stopped mid-flow, which is the basis of the
show after all...

According to a post on my blog, the JAM recorded at Hay in Wales had a
panel of Paul Merton, Pam Ayres, Maureen Lipman and Marcus Brigstocke
for the first show and Dara O'Briain for the second.

Sounds great - excellent to have Maureen back on the show - first time
since 1998.

And first time with two women on a panel since 2003.

And first time they swapped panellists between recordings, outside
Edinburgh, since 1994.

Hi

A new member who has love JAM for years - sometimes I hope to be awake
at 5:30 on monday morning to hear it here in australia - and thanks to
the uploaders of shows - amazing resource.

You would need to explain to these people that the show IS the
interruptions. it is the interaction, the anger, the banter - having
heard some of the more recent ones I can see that the kenneth williams
golden age is continuing. How people (the panelists, ringmaster,
audience) respond to good bad or indifferent interruptions is what
makes me last - the one minute ramblings are probably the least
involving parts

Does anyone know when the new series will start? Sounds like a good few shows recorded in Hay-on-Wye, with Pam Ayres finally appearing in episodes with Paul Merton and the return of Maureen Lipman and Dara O'Briain. And of course, another appearance for the brilliant Marcus Brigstocke.

Well a new series of ISIHAC has just started so probably around three months time.

Actually, Just A Minute usually starts the week following the final
episode of ISIHAC, which itself runs for 6 episodes. And since there's
already been one episode of ISIHAC broadcast, JAM will be starting in
5 weeks, or around the middle of July -- July 16, by my calendar.

I didn't realise ISIHAC was only 6 episodes long. I was imagining 13 - hence the 3 months.

As Emile has said it's mid July, but I just note that that's two weeks
later than usual.

I hope that doesn't mean the season will be shorter than usual - as this
year's winter season was.

well, more often than not the people on the show are the ones that
trip themselves up when they're speaking, and the interruptions
themselves are often just as funny as whatever it is that someone is
saying on the show or in their speaking time.
