gap years
As already mentioned Jan Ravens is a panellist in the coming season, having last appeared in 1994 - a gap of 24 years!
With this in mind, I thought I would try and compile a list of longest time between appearances...
I have done a radio list - and then a list that includes the various TV seasons too. Minimum gap to be included was five years. I have included both Jan, and Jo Caulfield who are appearing in the current season.
Note Maureen Lipman appears in each list three times!

It's amazing to think that Gyles Brandreth had such a long break.
Dean - problem with your website I think, if I tick "email follow-up comments" I get an email with "Your message wasn't delivered to dbedford@ihug.co.nz because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail."
what page is that on?
thanks, I think I have fixed that. Best email is dean@just-a-minute.info
The next series of JAM starts on the 19th (February).
Also, thanks for uploading the 1999 JAM TV episodes at the JAM jar.
