The repetition of this scenario makes it particularly disquieting, the way that a recurring dream might signal a blocked traumatic memory or a cul-de-sac of thought. The calm, jolly music in this one seems to suggest that everything will be different this time, like a fresh start had been made, which somehow makes it all the more crushing.

Would say that it's also a reference to the intimidation, inferiority and awkwardness felt in the presence of professionals by much of society, and how perhaps we rely on them too much when it comes to getting on with our lives.

This has always been one of my favourites from Jam. More than just amusing or nauseating, it seems to be saying something profound, only I'm not quite sure what... Perhaps the stupidity of a society full of 'experts', where no-one knows how to do anything any more.

It's hard to tell who wrote what in Jam but I have a feeling that Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews are responsible for the Mr. Bentham bits. They're the only sketches that aren't depraved in some way. Great show though.

@AlephNeil I think also the dove part says something about asinine small talk, like in another where Mark Heap comments about a knee operation. We latch on to things we see or (think) we remember to try and strangle out conversations with people we barely no. The finger bell to remove awkward silences also ties in quite well with that notion.

I always viewed this as a satire of those strange folk that anyone who has ever worked in a public area has dealt with. Some people are just completely unable to interact with people and struggle with very basic decisions. A little bit like Asperger's Syndrome.

I've always thought it was a satire on people who are very successful businessmen, who have more money than sense, that spend it on useless 'services' that are completely unnecessary.

This is what it feels like to go to a therapist. The fact that you’re paying a stranger to fix personal problems that you can’t fix for yourself is so degrading- it makes you feel fundamentally broken, fundamentally inferior to the person you’re paying to make you feel better about yourself. Not that therapy isn’t valuable, but that aspect of the experience is demoralizing.

@@PepperoniPapaya well, a pleasant option might be to go through your yt history and revisit the forgotten places. Maybe with a friend or two and a drink. I can arrange for delivery of jaw or tie mounted wine glasses of course. Anything else? Shall I put it on account?
