Comedian Jay Lafferty takes us on a humorous journey with heart-warming tales of 'jamminess' alongside hilarious reflections on the psychology and statistics of luck. Comedian and Titanic expert Susan Morrison talks to Jay about the life of the 'Unsinkable Woman' Violet Jessop who survived three shipwrecks, and they ponder whether Violet was seriously lucky, or unlucky in her escapes. Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire Richard Wiseman discusses the concept of being responsible for your own luck, and to what extent making your own luck - or bad luck - is possible. Seven year old Aden Thurlow and his parents Lynn and Alan tell Jay about Aden's lucky discovery of a seven leaf clover, and the luck it has brought him since he found it. Welsh soprano Sarah Gilford chats to Jay about her personal lucky charm that she was gifted by a stranger when she was on the train to an audition in Edinburgh. Shetland comedian and storyteller retells the bone-chilling folktale of the unlucky 'verdi,' curse and Edinburgh comedian Qin Wang reveals the ways many parents in Chinese culture protect their babies from bad luck. John and Gail Kelly recount the chilling moment they were swept into the sea in Malta, and how against all odds, they feel that they've never been luckier. Also featuring hilarious snippets from Jay Lafferty's acclaimed Edinburgh Festival Fringe stand-up show 'Jammy'.
