2006

Jam and Jerusalem is a British sitcom created by Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French, and stars Sue Johnston, Saunders, Pauline McLynn, French, Maggie Steed, David Mitchell, and Sally Phillips. Early episodes also feature Joanna Lumley and Doreen Mantle. The Women's Guild is an organisation in the small town of Clatterford St. Mary that aims to promote truth, justice, tolerance and fellowship. Or maybe it's just an excuse for good, old-fashioned gossip. Regardless, meetings feature discussions and visiting speakers. The Guild is the center of life in Clatterford, which has a good cross-section of people, local shops and a late-night convenience store.

It is panto time. The chosen panto this year is Cinderella. Sal's daughter Tash usually plays the lead, but Eileen thinks she is too old. Sal manages to persuade her that if Michael (her husband) had been alive there would have been no question, and Tash gets the role. Finally the performance night arrives, but some cast think the best place to be is the pub, which means a slight alteration in the story! Sal decides it is time to scatter Michael's ashes, and enlists an unlikely helper, with unexpected results.
