DVD Description
With a superb ensemble cast, this is a hilarious and heart-warming BBC comedy from Jennifer Saunders, the writer and star of Absolutely Fabulous.

Clatterford is a small town, but big enough to have a good cross-section of people, local shops and a late night convenience store - a place which also has a thriving Women's Guild. When Sal's husband dies suddenly of a heart attack, she is forced to give up her role as practice nurse at the local surgery. Without a job and feeling very much alone, Sal slowly realises that she needs the support of the Women's Guild as much as they need her, so she decides to join them and give the Guild a try... after all, its ideals are to promote truth, justice, tolerance and fellowship - or is it just an excuse for a good old gossip?

Starring: Sue Johnston, Pauline McLynn, Dawn French, Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders.

Synopsis
Jam and Jerusalem is the hilarious yet poignant new comedy series from the creator of Absolutely Fabulous. Set in the small town of Clatterford, Jam and Jerusalem focuses on the Women's Guild; an organization that was established to promote qualities such as truth, tolerance and justice but its members are far happier gossiping, as recently widowed Sal is about to find out when she joins the group...

By K. Turley "fns-fan" (Ireland!) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Series!, 13 Jan 2008
By S. Williams (County Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoy French and Saunders comedy anyway, and this comedy fits in perfectly with what I laugh at.

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.
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!

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.

Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvellous, 19 Jan 2008
By W. Hutchinson "whutchin2" (Perth, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
A must buy.
