Yes, I agree about the problems of having too many new puppies on the team all at once.
A beginner needs experienced players to listen to and learn from. Having more than one on a panel leads to a real mess as they leap around excitedly and wee on each other. 
This must probably cause great frustration to the outnumbered veterans and chairman.
I know it frustrates listeners.

But if the Beeb can't find enough old hands for an episode, I guess they have to use what they can get.

I've enjoyed the shows thus far this series, and actually enjoyed the previous series more than I had imagined that I would. They've managed to bring along some entertaining new players in the past several series, players I now enjoy listening to - Fi Glover, Alun Cochrane, Rebecca Front, Holly Walsh, and Stephen Mangan to name a few. I just think it's a slippery slope booking more than one new player per episode when there are so many good established players to be had, players I have come to enjoy time and time again. I realize this is something of an ongoing gripe I've voiced before, but I also know it's one that others share as well. We only get so much JAM each year so I don't think it's unreasonable to hope to hear three established favorites per show and four established players going at each other once each series, because that's when JAM really shines in my book.
