more on the coming season

the new season begins on February 9th with eight shows. The four panels for the eight shows are...
 
* Paul Merton, Sheila Hancock, Graham Norton and Robin Ince
 
* Gyles Brandreth, Jenny Eclair, Marcus Brigstocke and Shappi Khorsandi
 
* Paul Merton, Tony Hawks, Josie Lawrence and Alun Cochrane
 
*Paul Merton, Julian Clary, Stephen Fry and David Tennant
 
It’s an interesting list because – with the exception of Sue Perkins – it includes all the regulars and semi-regulars.
 
This is the list of appearances since April 2009 when Clement Freud died (including TV and Junior JAM). See how many of the top players from this list are appearing this season - all but one of the top 10, and 11 of the top 14. Seems like Tilusha Ghelani who’s been producing JAM for eight years is going out on a high! (players this season are bolded)

Hello Dean and Fellow Jammers. Just a quick note to mention about the brilliant and sharp as a buttonette Sue Perkins. She is currently recording a late afternoon live tv show called Mel and Sue with her comedy partner on Mondays to Fridays for ITV. This and her regular commitment to The Great British Bake Off - which records in the Summer may limit her JAM appearances. If you are reading this Sue please try to squeeze a couple of JAM's in because you have a large number of fans amongst us Jammers. On the panel you are a tornado and we'll miss you if you can't be in JAM for a while. Love to all KEITH XXXX

I expect you have seen this story reporting on David Tennant managing an uninterupted minute at his first attempt, tentively suggesting it is a record.

Is it a record? I have a vague memory of a debut contestant managing the full minute not that long ago, but it may not have been the very first subject they were given.

By the way, I must congratulate you on your diligence. I notice Tennant's whole minute is already listed in the statistics section of your main site; I have yet to listen to the show.
