Ab Fab creator back with two new series

Actually, I've found Jam & Jerusalem to be a very pleasant surprise -- a decent character-driven comedy that actually *likes* its characters. It's important to clarify, though, that Saunders, Lumley and (to a lesser degree) French play supporting roles. Sue Johnston is front and center here, with Pauline McLynn (Mrs Doyle from Father Ted) as her best friend. David Mitchell (Mitchell & Webb, Peep Show, etc.), Rosie Cavaliero (better here than in the execrable Feel the Force), Sally Phillips and Patrick Barlow are also in the cast, so it's a pretty solid slate of Britcom talent.
Mild spoiler: The programme revolves around Johnston's character, who is adjusting to life after her husband, the village doctor, passes away. She's the practice's nurse, and when her son inherits the practice (and brings in his own wife/nurse), she's left with a lot of empty space in her life. A lifelong holdout from the Women's Guild, she decides to finally join as a way of staying connected with the rest of the village.

This is a mature and often gentle comedy that's likely to perplex people looking for another AbFab, but the writing is very smart and insightful. It might take more than one viewing to catch all of the jokes and identify the various characters and relationships, but it's worth the effort, IMHO.

This show is already on in the UK under the name "Jam and Jerusalem". I assume they changed the name for BBC America, as they also did for MI5 (AKA "Spooks" in the UK). The show is set in what they call a local church "Women's Guild", which is clearly based on what are actually called "Women's Institute" groups (commonly referred to as the WI). The WI is known for making jam (US jelly), and singing the hymn "Jerusalem" at the start of their meetings, hence the UK show title.

Clatterford airs in the UK as Jam & Jerusalem, it's got a very good cast but within 5 minutes it becomes quite clear that they're having a far more enjoyable time making it than you are watching it.
