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.

The Women's Guild is an organisation in the small town of Clatterford St. Mary that aims to promote truth, justice, tolerance and fellowship.

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.
