Turley (Ireland!) 18 out of 18 found this review helpful best show ive seen in a long time and really does show how much of an excellent comic writer Jennifer Saunders is. Although she hasnt really got a big part in it(unfortunately) the rest of the wide cast are amazing - especially Dawn French as crazy Rosie! this is just a fab series with hilarious and heartfelt storylines and id recommend it to any1!!! Excellent Series! January 13, 2008 S. Williams (County Durham, UK) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful I enjoy French and Saunders comedy anyway, and this comedy fits in perfectly with what I laugh at. br / br /Jam and Jerusalem is essentially a series about a small village called Clatterford, and it follows the lives, primarily of Sal Vine (Sue Johnston) and her family. Basically, she joins the WI after her husbands death, and the comdey comes in when the other bizarre characters all act together. br / There's Rosie (Dawn French), a person with a personality split, and obsessed with cheese, Caroline Martin (Jennifer Saunders) who has a very small part, but her voice and facial expressions make me laugh so much! br / br / Overall, Jam Jerusalem is an excellent comedy about the WI, but I think it's one of those very "British" comedies, where something is said to be funny, unlike an American comedy, where something stupid has to be done to be funny. br / br / Recommended! br / Utterly Scrumptious! June 19, 2008 John Cassidy (greater manchester) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful How many times have I watched these two dvd's? Perhaps twenty plus times for each one and I never ,ever get tired of them! Like that other quintessentially english comedy,Fawlty Towers,Jam And Jerusalem improves with age. br / br /Set in a small farming village,and revolving mainly around the local branch of the W.I.,this is a bittersweet confection which never fails to delight! br / br /Check out Sue Johnstone as Sal,the widow who dares to join the W.I. She is superb,as indeed all the rest are! ,in particular the leader of the group,who is beyond compare! br / br /You'll also see smaller parts from the likes of Dawn French as a cheese factory worker,Jennifer Saunders as a rather posh yet slightly eccentric local who trains and judges horse-jumping shows and if her tales are to be believed,houses various rock stars in her spare time in between organising festivals,etc. br / br /joanna Lumley is also superb as an old hag who is completely off her trolley,and the local vicar who is always uptight is a sheer joy! br / br /Before I finish,I have to mention Tash,Sal's daughter,who is hilariously over-the-top as her hippyish daughter, refusing to grow up and accept rsponsibility! You can really feel the bond between Tash and her mum,amidst the agony and ecstasy of sharing the same house! br / br /I could go on and on about all the characters,as all are ace,but I have gone on too long already! br / br /Treat yourself to this 2 dvd-set,kick off your shoes and sink into a lovely,soft armchair with a mug of hot chocolate,and forget about the daily grind! br / br /Just fantastic!! br / br /Can't wait for series two! Marvellous January 19, 2008 W. Hutchinson (Perth, Australia) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful Absolutely brilliant. Charming, funny - at times hilarious, sometimes poignant - all without canned laughter. Oh I wish there were more programmes like this. For once, we managed to get the DVD in Australia before the UK and I am glad we did. br /A must buy. Can't recommend it highly enough!! January 26, 2008 Nicola McFall (Ballymena, Northern Ireland) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful While critics have been extremely hard on this show I believe it is easily one of the best things to hit our TV screens in decades! It is a step away from Saunders more outright wackey comedy but equally brillant! The cast is nothing short of amazing with much of Britians best talent on the credits - and they play such a wonderful selection of characters. The entire programme is enhanced by wonderful backing music provided by Kate Rusby, and set in the beautiful English courtry side. It captures rural village life wonderfully and deserves much more recognition than it has been given to date!! Showing reviews 1-5 of 21 1 2 3 4 5 Next »
