When dancing, lost in techo trance, arms flailing, gawky Bez, then find you snagged on frowns, and slowly it dawns, you're jazzing to the bleep tone of a life support machine that marks the steady fading of your day old baby daughter. And when midnight sirens lead to blue flash road mash, stretchers, covered heads and slippy red macadam, and find you creeping 'neath the blankets, to snuggle close a mangle bird, hoping you soon too will be freezer drawed. Then welcome. Mmm, ooh chemotherapy wig. Welcome. In Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam, Jaaaaam.

Jam (2000)
It is spooky season! Tonight's D+D Early Thursday Movie Night is a bit of a deviation from the usual format. I'm showing all 6 episodes of Jam (2000) in order, plus whatever extra footage I can find. If you arrive early I'll be playing an episode of Blue Jam (2000), the BBC1 (!) radio show from which this series emerged. This is Chris Morris's best work, in my opinion. We've seen his feature film 4 Lions (2010) - that was the film that inspired Cud and I to do Death and Dismemberment Thursdays in the first place. Where 4 Lions (2010) manages to be a profoundly human (and hilarious) comedy about an attempted religious terror attack in London, Jam (2000) is a delirious fever dream, a malaria simulator, analog horror before analog horror was a thing. It aired on Channel 4 in the UK without commercial breaks or credits, the first time in the history of Channel 4 that they aired a show without commercial breaks.
This is comedy, but what is funny about it? Multiple sketches are lip synced versions of sketches from Blue Jam. The frame rate drops. The aspect ratio shifts unexpectedly. Sketches bleed into each other. Everything is fuzzy and out of focus, except when it's not. Everything, everyone is so nonchalant, so normal about everything. It's the most normal television series ever made. Everything is exactly as it should be :)
