That one small, fading line at the end provides the mother's motive. "I don't think [Daddy will] go when he sees your pipes." Chris Morris is on another plane.

It also proves just how absolutely batshit she is. I imagine the extended version of this in which the husband does come home and has to deal with the fact that his newborn is now a central heating system. This being Jam, he may actually come around to the idea, come to think of it.

I don't think there has to be honest. But it's a very interesting dichotemy. Chris Morris was an expert at this. His 'dark' is a lot darker than I imagine the brains of some serial killers. But he's also an excellent satirist. And yet, at a time when the UK is crying out for his ilk, open season for satire and the divisions of Brexit kicking all of our tits and arses so hard that we need surgery, I've witnessed nothing of the BBC Radio-helium-pumping darklord. Maybe he's the Devil!

It's not necessarily incorrect to say that Chris Morris is ahead of his time. The problem with saying it is that nobody has caught up, nor do we know if anyone ever will. Like Black Mirror, Jam is not natural binge watching material, due in part to the discomfiting thread that runs throughout, as well as its implied request that you don't flick to the next one until you've spent a little time reflecting on the last one.

Are people really still bringing up 9/11 to try to shame others for their taste in humour. YES, 9/11 was a MASSIVE tragedy, but you have to remember that by the time 9/11 happened every country in Britain had already suffered through decades of terrorist attacks, amassing hundreds of thousands of lives lost. British humour is simply darker than American humour because Britain's history is so much longer and darker than America's, both in terms of the awful things that have happened on British soil AND the awful atrocities Britain has committed on foreign soil. 9/11 WAS a tragedy, but it's hardly unusual in the context of human history.

Can't answer for everyone, but my baby brother died when I was little. The sheer desperation of the denial and bargaining phases of the mother's grief here hit home so hard that this physically hurts to watch. For me the worst part is the insane amount of money she throws at him as she begs him in a hysterical panic to solve a literally unsolvable problem. And the impending divorce. It all just creates such an atmosphere of inescapable pain and hopelessness.

I don't think so. The brilliance of it is the untold story that it references either side of the sketch itself. The horror of a mother going insane over the loss of her child, the devastating effect on her marriage and the tragedy of knowing what comes after when the husband returns to find his happy wife telling him their dead child has been mended. There are genuine characters and stories behind the sketch. Including Robin Lomax, to a lesser extent. It's not just about the absurdity of the suggestion of fixing a baby, it's the tragedy that led to it and will follow it, which is alluded to in the dialogue.
