I was surprised that they left that part in. Also the Scottish Polish joke
from Nicholas which wasn't that funny.
If you compare the list of
subjects they recorded that evening (see my earlier posts on Series 68) you'll
see they edited out the final round, "Present and Correct". This is why you
don't hear Nicholas say, "and we're moving in to the final round" in this
episode...
Simon
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...

It’s not always exactly symmetrical as they edit a round out here and there. But there was an unusual instance in last week’s show.here are the rounds and the panellist who started each one...yes, Sheila started the “growing tomatoes”round, even though she had started the previous one, and it was Richard’s turn.There are three possible explanations...3. Nicholas misread his notes.--

People often choose to pronounce their surname differently to what might be expected.
Maybe your thought arose because, more often than not, Front would be pronounced to rhyme with punt or similar.

Rebecca has been around for yonks and the pronunciation of her name is well-known to all. And even if one had never encountered the name "Front", most people would default to its pronunciation as the noun "front."A mis-saying of her name is not a big issue for me. Nicholas' extended explanation was what became increasingly uncomfortable. I must say I admired Rebecca's restraint as she explained the bleedin' obvious to him.

Some people just see, hear or say things differently to the rest of us.
A good example of this is the surname of that tennis player whom our Andy beat in the final of Wimbledon 2013.
All of the British commentators, and all of the umpires (certainly at Wimbledon) pronounce the first syllable of his surname to sound like "jock". However, McEnroe and a lot of US commentators pronounce the same syllable to sound like "joke".

I found it to be a strange very average show as Paul seemed to me to only wake up half way thru and proceed to trounce the other 3 who offered very little. It kind of just meandered along. I don't recall Russell bringing much to the show and am surprised to find this was his 64th appearance.
My twopenn'orth is that Nic was extending a courtesy to Rebecca - Front is a surname I have never heard of before. Coming from Lancashire, I would pronounce Front as in Shunt, certainly not as in Frond. As Rebecca explained it was a Polish name all the more reason for the asking. I quite like Nic's trips down memory lane. There aren't a lot of folk left, a lot less still broadcasting, who have memories of the Second World War.
Best wishes,
Dave
