David Jacobs

missed out according to info on tinternet.forgot to type it in

he was so suave

I was mad on that David McCullum (Illyia Kuryakin in The Man from Uncle)

I loved Juke Box Jury. I didn't particularly notice David Jacobs, I was just interested in the pop stars of the day who appeared on it and the new records they were voting on. I always wanted to be Cathy McGowan
She still looks great on the arm of Michael Ball.

It is strange, isn't it that some of the people we look back on and enjoyed on television are now being accused of all sorts of sexual harrassment. I rather think that some things were taken for granted then, whereas now that is not so. don't want to get into an argument here, just expressing my thoughts.

jingle, I thought he was old fashioned then so I don't think he'd be old fashioned now because if you're not old fashioned now, you can't have been old fashioned then

I remember Cathy McGowan showing us all how to sit on a bus, elegantly, while wearing a mini skirt. Knees together girls.

I quite agree with you there merlot.

DJ was old-fashioned, in that he sounded professional, not like some herbert who'd wandered in off the street...

Like Chris Evans, feetlebaum?

Precisely..!

... and no, I don't like the Evans - although I haven't heard anything of him for years.

Chris Evans has the breakfast show on radio 2 every morning and has won lots of awards for it. I love it. Makes me happy first thing in the morning and he is always so cheerful!!

I love Chris's breakfast show too. He also does The One Show on a Friday.

I was very sorry to hear about David Jacobs (although a bit surprised that he was still alive) I remember him first in Journey into Space when he seemed to play all the extra characters. I think it would be rather good to revive Juke Box Jury. Faced with some of the stuff that is released nowadays I can see the whole jury sitting there saying "What the was THAT?"

Deeda They made similar comments in those days too. I remember Nancy Spain saying how ridiculous the opening words of Johnny Mathis's "Misty" were - "Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree". Mind you, she had a point.

And when JBJ was resurrected for a short time, I think in the 80's, Bob Geldorf made some very disparaging remarks about Karen Carpenter's voice, which I thought was a bit rich coming from him.

Ah, didn't we all want to be Cathy McGowan KatyK? She was just so cool. I remember the competition(?) to decide whether you preferred cathy's hair turned under or flicked out. Answers on a postcard please......

I aspired to having a curtain of hair like Cathy McGowan's. Glossy locks with no split ends was the ultimate achievement when I was 18!

Oh yes it was the hair! My own rather thin locks could never get there in a million years. And the fact that she got near to all those pop stars (especially Beatle George)

If only hair straighteners had been invented then.

Yes - we used to iron ours...

" Bob Geldorf made some very disparaging remarks about Karen Carpenter's voice, which I thought was a bit rich coming from him."

Unbelievable! Karen C had one of the most delicious voices of any popular singer - although she really only wanted to play drums...

It was such a tragedy she died so young !

One thing I did manage was the Cathy McGowan hair did quite well with some of the clothes too. I had a pair of shoes that she designed and they are still one of the best pairs I've ever had. Who would have believed then that the Queen of Cool would end up with a man who sang in musicals? In 1963 I would never have admitted to watching a musical

I was watching West Side Story in the early 60s. That's a musical!

I love musicals - even in the sixties. I took my 85yr old grandmother to see the film version of The Sound Of Music and she adored it. I was a bit embarrassed when she stood up and applauded 'Climb Every Mountain' though.
