I like Russell, and thought he might go on to be really good at the game after a stellar performance on his debut. But he hasn’t been as good since. On Alun, I think he’s not good enough and he’s had a fair run at it now – 15 shows. Rebecca might be better next time, but I didn’t detect any spark to her performance.

Well, the Paul/Alun/Rebecca/Russell shows were the first of Series 68 to be recorded (back in December 2013). It had been three months since the last series had aired and the only JAM Nicholas had done in between was the Junior edition.

I was there with one of my sons and we both enjoyed seeing the recordings. My son thought Russell was the best panelist. Russell waves his arms around when playing the game which you don't get to see on the radio. I actually thought Alun was the better performer - he was very quick-witted and came up with some great jokes. Paul managed the only complete minute of the evening, playing brilliantly as always. Rebecca almost managed a complete minute but, as a first-timer, struggled to keep up with the boys. I'm sure she'll do better if they invite her back this year.

I do think they should have included the final round and edited out some of the rambling, though...
