BSG Review:

As a mildly diverting drama Jam and Jerusalem is ok, but a comedy it is not! It's just not funny.

Frankly this show has wasted the considerable talents of the cast. It is all very disappointing to be honest. When a comedy has to resort to a vicar falling in a lake or focusing on the actions of the mentally disabled in an attempt to get laughs you know it is in trouble!
