Many of the sketches re-used the original radio soundtracks with the actors lip-synching their lines, an unusual technique which added to the programme's unsettling atmosphere.

The series consisted of six twenty-minute episodes, and, unusually for a TV show on a commercial channel, had no advert break in the middle. Some reports claim this was because no company would want their products associated with the show although others say Morris insisted on there being no advertisement break as it would ruin the show - presumably through loss of continuity of the distinctive tone and texture. The closing credits were also missing, replaced by a brief link to a website [1]. When the DVD of the series was released, the website changed and offered a link to a long sound file containing the thumping sound of heavy artillery, which it is suggested is played while watching the programme to simulate surround sound.

Jam is sometimes referred to as being "controversial", but in spite of containing scenes many would find quite disturbing (and prompting at least one article in the Daily Mail), it nonetheless did not receive the same outraged headlines as the Brass Eye episode on paedophilia Chris Morris produced the following year. This was probably because Jam was aired quite late and had no promotional trailers and so many people were unaware of it.

Carrie is a 1976 American horror film directed by Brian De Palma based on the novel by Stephen King, with a screenplay written by Lawrence D. Cohen. ... The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 Academy Award-winning film directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. ...

Opening scenes

There were no opening titles to the show. Instead, they would begin with a strange and often disturbing monologue by Morris along with appropriate images. They usually concerned someone finding their paranoid fears being made real or some other bizarre happenings, such as a man waking up to find his body is that of a bizarre maggot creature (with Morris's dispassionate dialogue reading "...and when you wake up, wondering where you are, only to find that the rest of you is wondering where you've gone.")

Morris would then declare "Then welcome", followed by a nonsensical sentence (e.g. "Ooh, astonishing sod ape") before finally announcing "Welcome...in Jam." The word "Jam" would never be said normally; it would either be heavily distorted, said in a strange fashion or just screamed at the viewer, usually repeatedly.

Sketches often had a documentary feel to them, with the character(s) acting as if they were being interviewed about recent events. Documentary film is a broad category of visual expression that is based on the attempt, in one fashion or another, to document reality. ...

DVD

The DVD for the series is designed almost as a satire on DVDs themselves, with numerous pointless extras. For instance, each episode has both a normal version and a special version, which is usually the normal one but distorted in such a way as to make it completely intolerable, if not impossible, to watch (respectively: a miniaturised version, a miniaturised moving version, a moving lava lamp version, a fast forwarded version, the first 19 seconds of the episode and a fast forwarded version reexpanded to the original running time).

In addition, the items listed under the "Extras" on the disc are much of the time little more than additional copies of sketches, with the occasional deleted scene or shot of an audition or rehearsal. The only exceptions are Adam and Joe's "Goitre" parody of Jam and a link to "Undeleted Scenes" which, when selected, advises the viewer to take the DVD back to the shop they bought it from and complain about the lack of undeleted scenes. The Adam and Joe Show is a British comedy television show, written and presented by Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish (Adam and Joe), which ran for four series on Channel 4. ...

Hidden features

• Selecting "Play All At Once" from the "Play All" menu reveals a large red dot; if you press the select button on your DVD remote when this is shown, an audition for a deleted scene is shown.
• At the end of episode three, just before the TalkBack productions credit is shown, a dogs face is flashed up on screen for a few seconds, with a red dot. When the dot appears, pressing select will show the trailer for My Wrongs 8245 - 8249 and 117.

My Wrongs 8245 - 8249 and 117 is the first film by Chris Morris, starring Paddy Considine as an insane man (who has decided that he no longer deserves a name) taking care of a friends Irish Wolfhound (named Rothko, voice by Chris Morris) while shes away. ...

Episode details

The sketch names, if any, come from the music credits.

Episode One

Opening Poem

"When dancing, lost in techno trance, arms failing, gawky bez, then find you snagged on frowns, and slowly dawns, your jazzing to the beep 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, strechers covered heads, and slippy red maccadm, and find you creeping neth the blankets, to snuggle close a mangled bird, hoping soon you too will be freezer drawed. Then welcome, ooh blue chemothreapy wig, welcome in Jam".

Homo Mum Dad

Two parents explain to their son's godfather that they are worried their son will become homosexual because he has a friend who is apparently gay. The father has been having sex with his son's friend to keep him distracted, whilst the mother has been keeping her son "interested in ladies" by having sex with him. The godfather is encouraged to pitch in and help.

Kilroy

Chris Morris announces it's "The day Kilroy lost his mind." There is then a series of manic shots of a lookalike of television presenter Robert Kilroy Silk going mad in a shopping mall, running around naked, shouting at passers-by, urinating on a shop window then falling asleep in a supermarket's freezer after attempting to wrestle a baby from its mother.

Coma

A doctor insists that one of his patients - who is obviously perfectly healthy - is in a coma, one that apparently has no symptoms. He then carries out a mercy killing on the heavily drugged patient.

Shrunken Car

An angry man walks down a street complaining that he recently took his car to a garage and, when he went to pick it up, the car was only four-foot-long, the mechanic insisting that that was how it was when it came in. The complaining man gets angrier and angrier as he explains this anecdote, swearing frequently and eventually attacking the pavement.

One Man Wedding(not very good quality) 

A forty-six-year-old man explains how he married himself out of fear of being a life-long bachelor. We see a shot of the wedding with the solitary newly-wed driving off on a honeymoon with himself.

Indian Restaurant

A brief scene shows two men in an Indian restaurant. Poppadoms are served. One man breaks the poppadoms for ease of consumption. His dinner partner becomes enraged, flings the table aside and starts beating up the other man, the violent assault accompanied by very relaxing music.

Thick People

An agency provides thick people for jobs they are good at, such as arguments, which they are apparently very good at winning "because they are too thick to realise they've lost."

Apartment Jumper

A suicidal man wants to kill himself but, instead of leaping from the top of the building, he opts to throw himself from the first-floor repeatedly in case he changed his mind half-way through.

Tree

Standing in a tree, a woman sings "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton while a crying man spanks her with a spacehopper.

Infidel

A wife's fury at her husband having been caught apparently having sex with another woman is tempered when her husband tells her he was merely raping the woman.

Doc Knee

In the first of many sketches set in a general practitioner's office, a woman comes in to complain about her sore leg. The doctor goes to rub it and asks "Does this hurt" when in fact he's rubbing his own leg. He loses himself in the pleasure of stroking his thigh and asks the woman to leave. The visuals and audio of the sketch are slowed down, creating a very dreamy and even hypnotic effect. It is accompanied by An Ending/Ascent by Brian Eno.

Personal Services Evening

A recurring character is introduced, a man named Mr Ventham. Even compared to the surreal nature of the show, this recurring sketch is clearly dreamlike. In each sketch, Ventham enters a plush office for a meeting with a middle-aged man to whom he goes with his minor problems. In this one, Mr Ventham doesn't know what to do on Saturday evening. He is advised to go and see a show with some friends. Everyone involved in the Mr Ventham sketch is incredibly polite and formal with each other, although Mr Ventham always gets strangely nervous when making small-talk with the secretary outside.

Porn 99

A Dutch porn star (played by Chris Morris) explains his fear of getting "The Gush", which is apparently a terrible affliction male pornographic movie stars can sometimes get. It involves being unable to stop shooting semen, resulting in the victim ejaculating themselves to death over a period of several days.

Woodshredder Revenge

A man throws himself into an industrial shredder that is set up to spray his bloody remains over his ex-wife's house. He calls out to her before jumping into the shredder so that the horrified woman leans out the window just in time to get a face full of gore.

Madeley

Faked CCTV footage shows television presenter Richard Madeley beating up a cleaner and having sex with a vending machine.

Plumber Baby

One of the most controversial sketches of the series shows a woman begging a plumber to "fix" her dead baby. She reasons that the baby is only really constructed of pipes and other materials, and tells the plumber that he would easily be able to repair the corpse to working order. He is very reluctant, but after being offered £1,000 an hour he takes the job and reroutes the central heating pipes through the baby's body. We do not see his completed work, but the mother - who is obviously quite deranged - is very happy with the results.

Gun Idiot

A man holds up a shop, demanding a packet of cigarettes whilst thrusting a gun into the terrified cashier's face. The armed-robber then insists on actually paying for the cigarettes, and is confused when it is explained to him that he didn't need the gun; he explains that it is for the purpose of ensuring he gets his change. He then slowly exits in amazement, apparently pleasently shocked at how 'useful' a gun can be. He is the seen walking down the street, and finds he has no lighter for his cigarette. Then remembers his gun, enters another shop and exits with a lighter, shaking his head in amazement as he lights up. He briefly walks down the street, puffing his cigarette, before being tackled to the ground by 2 policemen. The scene ends with him in the back of a police car staring lovingly at his cigarettes.

Woman in Trouble

A brief scene shows a crying woman complaining "I can't feel my cock" when her mother asks her what's up.

A woman, with her grinning husband beside her, explains her preferred method of foreplay. It involves her husband coming home crying and claiming he has just been homosexually raped "by a gang of street poofs."

Doc Cock

A doctor asks to see a patient's penis, which he then expresses great admiration for, much to the concern of the patient who actually only came in with a headache. The doctor then shows off his own penis. His colleague catches him and tells him off, making it apparent the doctor does this regularly. The doctor then asks if he will be able to do the same thing a few more times before being reported, and the colleague grudgingly agrees.

TV Lizards

An angry couple complain to a repairman that their new television has lizards coming out of it. The repairman offers some hopeless solutions ("sweep them up"), and then accuses the couple of putting the lizards there themselves.

The husband becomes mad with rage, and his wife slaps him.

Pay Rise Fart

A manageress cannot afford to give a member of staff a pay-rise so, as an alternative, she offers to fart on her secretary's head. The employee is quite satisfied with this although the secretary is understandably rather distressed.

Gun Stomach

A man tries to hold up a shop by insisting he has a gun in his stomach. The cashier doesn't believe him and attempts the serve the next customer, so he fires it. The gun shoots the wrong way, blowing the would-be robber's spine out and killing a customer that was waiting quietly behind him.

Coffin Clinic

A scene without dialogue shows happy couples strolling through the grounds of a private clinic all holding tiny coffins; one woman who has a tiny coffin greets another who is pregnant and waves goodbye to the bump.

Bored Sex Doc

A doctor, allegedly to raise money for a little girl with head cancer, offers telephone sex, even when he is with patients.

Fixit Girl

In a scene reminiscent of Nikita, a man has a fight with a friend and waits for someone to come round and dispose of the body. The person who arrives is a six-year-old girl, who, despite her tender age, turns out to be very proficient at chopping up corpses. She is also very foul-mouthed and carries a gun. The body turns out not to be dead, but she kills him so that she can finish the job. The police arrest the surviving man.

Personal Services (Chin Warmer)

Doc Aldis Lamp

When he is accused of prescribing heroin to a girl, a doctor blinds himself by flashing an Aldis lamp into his face and thus enabling him to go home sick (he is intent on driving) and avoid having to give an explanation for his actions.

Sex For Houses 

A couple reluctantly agree to buy a house after the vendor insists that, on top of the asking price, he wants to have sex with the intended purchasers. The couple eventually grow tired of it and the husband lets his mentally handicapped sister take their place for the sex session.

Forgotten Axe

Featuring CCTV footage of his actions, an inept armed robber admits that his plan of holding up a shop with an axe went a bit wrong when "the day I went in with the axe wasn't the same day as the day I made the threatening gestures".

Couple Outside

Standing in a rainy field, a man - played by Chris Morris - explains how he survives by living outside and eating moss and insects. He ignores his wife who keeps suggesting he move back in to the house. He tells that sometimes he thinks that it would be so easy to go back in, but it would be giving up. He concludes by saying that he will probably be killed off by a frost when the winter comes.

Piss Directions

Whilst giving directions, a man urinates on the side of the car belonging to the man asking for the directions. Bizarrely, the car has urinals all round it, except at the place the man is standing.

Unflustered Parents

Two parents seem totally unconcerned when their young son does not come home from school. It is some time before they bother trying to find out what happened to him. When the police telephone them and say they have found the boy's raped and strangled corpse, the parents are rather annoyed that they are obliged to bury him, and the father vows to "Have a word" - polite but indignant - with the man, a friend, suspected of carrying out the murder.

"When dredful duty, leads you to the place, where you have stored it. And when waiking dog, call the children, he wont bite, then see them run, deranged by what your dragging round, and have been since you found him eyeless stiff and putrid, after seven months of "oh i wonder where hes got to". Then welcome, ooh born dead thourgh your own arse, welcome in Jam.

Apartment Lady

A woman invites the man from next door into her flat. She opens by asking him to feel her breast, and explains that she will have to slap him for doing so. She does; this repeats, and after a number of similar advances, ends up tricking the man into "raping" her, for which he is arrested. Despite her warnings, the man still gives in to his urges.

Musical Chairs

CCTV footage shows a children's game of musical chairs which turns nasty when an over-competitive father starts attacking other people's children and then the other parents.

Lift Guard

To his horror, a timid security guard in an office witnesses several people step into a lift shaft and, thanks to the lift not actually being there, they plunge, screaming, to the bottom. He tries to warn others but his nervousness doesn't allow him to get the warnings out in time. They all ignore him and continue to stroll into the empty lift shaft and fall to their deaths.

Little Girl Balls

A couple explain that they are convinced their six-year-old daughter is actually a forty-five-year-old man trapped inside a child's body. They give her an operation to fit her with a penis and testicles. They express particular satisfaction with the testicles. We do not actually see the handiwork, as it is out of shot.

Pub Kiss

Two male friends start kissing whilst in a pub, despite evidently having no previous homosexual urges. They try to tell their wives when they arrive but the women think it's a joke.

Thick Couple Baby

A couple go to see a doctor and refuse to believe the diagnosis that the wife is pregnant. She believes her swollen belly is just a "spot". The couple believe that the doctor is attempting to examine the woman for her own sexual gratification, whilst the doctor attempts to explain the pregnancy.

How About it Dog

In a veterinary surgery, a man requests that he is allowed to have sex with his dog whilst it is in the process of being euthanised. The veterinary refuses, so the man contents himself by just pulling down his trousers whilst he watches his dog die.

Mah-nu-Mah-nu

Police hunt for a corpse in the woods whilst two rather bizarre elfin figures leap and covort around them, singing to Piero Umiliani's Mah Na Mah Na. One memorable sight is that of a bass clarinet being placed in the corpse's mouth and being 'played' by his chest being manually pumped.

Bad Sex

A couple have an incredibly bizarre session of sex, involving such antics as the man fulfilling the woman's request to "shit your leg off" before he begs the woman: "Whack my bonobo!! Whack my bonobo!!". The woman eventually demands that the man makes his sperm come out green, but he can't do this; and when the sex session fails, he complains about his leg. We see very little of this, merely a shot from a camcorder half-buried under a pillow.

Doc Bedwetter

A woman goes to a doctor with her son, who can't help wetting himself. The doctor insists that there is nothing wrong with wetting oneself, and proves it by doing exactly that in front of his horrified patients.
