Juke Box Jury 1960 (part 3 of 3)

[spotsycool]

@Londonrainwaters I think it's just you. I think he looks like he's enjoying the music. but then again, maybe that's just me. lol He did seem a bit strained in the first part ( part 1 of jbj) but after 'lively' he got happier, I think. His comments about the pigs always make me laugh. It brings such "pleasant thoughts" to MY mind. *grins Love his way of expressing things. ;)

[Londonrainwaters]

@spotsycool Now COME ON, you can`t really call this nonsense music, can you? Although I agree his annoyance is even much more evident in part one I just can`t believe he really really LIKED this; after all he`s a musician himself....Oh, well, why am I writing it all again, just look up my comments on the JBJ-video recently uploaded by slaphead6000 (can`t post the link, sorry!) if you`re interested. :)

[spotsycool]

@Londonrainwaters no, I wouldn't call it music, just like I'm sure he wouldn't, but the whole point of this particular style is fun. I think that after awhile, his sense of humour kicked in and he realized that nobody really was interested in the quality of the music or the musicians, all they wanted was entertainment; and after he'd changed his approach, his attitude changed. He saw it for what it was: low quality music that entertains. It wasn't worth sulking over, so he just went w/ it. :)

[Londonrainwaters]

@spotsycool Well, well, but the show itself was dead boring, the songs were not just low quality but TOO

silly to cause anything else than nausea (also if nobody said it loud), and so the only fun there is is the fun

I`m having when I watch David`s demonstrative expressionless face or his forced smile, it`s delicious ;)

Still, he was simply too good for this kind of trash......

[spotsycool]

@Londonrainwaters Well, I entirely agree with you there...the show WAS incredibly boring. which is a pity b/c it probably could have been interesting had they done it differently. I know, I love watching his expressions..he has a very demonstrative face...even when he doesn't mean to, and it's quite fun to watch! xD

[Londonrainwaters]

He SAYS he likes the song but...is it just me or is David`s grin at 1:00 somewhat strained?

[BHH10]

Shows what they know - "Poetry in Motion" reached # 2 on the Billboard charts. Anybody really heard of any of the others?

[garyhosty]

bring it back now, now I say, bring it back, bring it all back...I hate colour..

[tim60s321]

...AND THEN CAME THE SWINGING SIXTIES =NO WONDER!!!!  IS THE BBC ANY BETTER TODAY?? NOT MUCH=JUST LISTEN TO RADIO 2 FOR A WHILE AND YOU SOON REALISE ITS THE SAME OLD PEOPLE IN CHARGE

[adds3566]

shite!

[norristerse]

why did they call joe "mr piano" henderson "mr piano"?

did he look like one or something?

[sirhcnav]

Isn't it amazing the way they used to speak back then; so far back (the accent I mean). The trouble with JBJ was that they would invariably have people on who didn't like pop music at all and could never understand the lyrics - in part 1 they didn't like Poetry in Motion; couldn't understand it and here we are 50 years later still playing it. A couple of years later The Beatles broke and those accents went out.

[herronslegs]

I agree What happened to part 2 of 3 ?. Very annoying to say the least.

[jollywigs]

What happened to Adam Wade? Wonderful singer!

[jollywigs]

What happened ton Adam Wade? Wonderful singer.

[franklindavid]

This video takes you back in time! Nina is beautiful as Grace Kelley.

[280553vs]

that david mccallum is such an idiot. imagine taking pinky and perky seriously. Wow, what idiots. dumb asses the lot of them.

[puddledoo]

@280553vs Erm...I think he was obviously not being serious!

[PAULLONDEN]

@280553vs

INfuckingDEED, 'man' from duncle ,more like.

Nina...interesting flack jacket,Jill...too frisky....;]

painful to watch.although,bbc today ain't less painful to watch.

[agaichapter25]

Good god what did they do to the audience ?they all sat there like they been tranquillised,seems a pre requisite for being part of this show was to have the enthusiasm of a melon.

Still a nice trip back into a completely different world,got to laugh at the woman stating that the Adam Wade song would be a good party number!!! that got to be some part...bring your own coffin!!!.

[amberola1b]

I agree with the comment that they all look like tailers dummies, more like German concentration camp prisoners..........you will not show emotion or you will die. sit perfectly still, and no-one will get hurt!!!!!!!!!

[thePharoah90086]

I'm also searching for Part Two

[expatbritingermany]

This is wonderful - I remember the show well! I never knew David McCallum was on the show (did they have different panel members on each show????) How well spoken everyone was in those days - that's something I miss today in these days of verbal garbage and grammar-mangling. Mind you, seeing how old the show looks makes me feel positively ancient ;-))

[sorova]

@expatbritingermany Yes - different every week.

[jamesfenian]

Where is Juke Box Jury 1960 (part 2 of 3)

[BrisbaneBoy86]

Have you noticed that 2.14 you can also hear the studio gallery talkback faintly?

[jokergame]

Thanks for posting this. I remember the programme but can't believe the stilted, robotic responses of the panelists. Total contrast to the over emotional, cry at anything current day TV participants. Both extremes are a bit laughable. That said a priceless piece of my childhood, thanks.

[charliemctruth]

Great nostalgia...And how wonderful to see that one of the kids from.. The Village of the Damned has passed through puberty without incident.

[KittenSoft41019]

Thanks for uploading this - a real piece of visual history. I was born in 1981 and am very interested in 60's television in general. It was amazing how polite everybody was, no whooping and clapping and interrupting every 5 seconds. I can't decide whether this made it 'drier' television or a more 'pure' form of television based on truth and not celebrity. Do you have any more episodes to show us perchance? x

[deltorso]

Have you noticed the audience are all like tailors dummies just sitting there.

I used to watch this , but christ it looks so dated now !

but it was this or nothing !

[menonthemovemovie]

interesting historical footage

[DJSquare]

it would be great if they brought this show back. the only fear i would have is them getting a presenter like Vernon Kay or Ant & Dec lol

[penfloyd]

Can we blame Pinkie and Perkie for SWINE FLU?

From record Critic to Man from Uncle, to

Performing autopsies on NCIS...The skies the limit.

Bring on Pink Floyd.

[mikelheron20]

I don't remember music being this bad and I was there at the time!

[tony13a]

Druds Mate

[DavidRayner1947]

What happened to part 2 of 3? The middle section of the programme is missing.

[mctribble]

was it Pinkie or Perkie that died of an overdose..?

[pokkettz]

That was Punky - split the band in the Hamburg years. They lost their way after that, hamstrung by Perky's ambition to get on the Royal Variety show.

Must dig out my old vinyl compilation "Frederick, Baron van Pallandt's Ultimate Rock'n'Roll With A Twinkle In Its Eye'

[DeanMorrison]

who needs Mogadon - I always thought David Jacobs was s*** when I was growing up - and I'm glad to see I wasn't wrong.

Thank f*** for the Beatles...

[NeilThompson30]

The Beatles were f****** s***.

[WhiteCamry]

Pinky & Perky were just a knock-off of Alvin & the Chipmunks.

[WhiteCamry]

Where's Part 2?

[Tecfresh]

techno i was pissed

[Tecfresh]

i want pinky n perkey in a techo set

[arbutus27]

JESUS CHRIST!! No wonder we were kicking the shit out of each other on Brighton Beach. All it wants is Noel Edmonds to present it....  AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!

[pjaylett]

Well I think I've read some daft comments before but "Pinky & Perky - good, The Beatles - boring" just takes the biscuit.

[loupyhippo]

We owe Bob the Builders number 1 hit to their comments lol!!

[conniff44]

I can't find Part 2 of 3, what happened to it?

[altfactor]

Was anyone certain that Pinky And Perky weren't really Alvin And The Chipmunks??

[NeilThompson30]

Thank God for Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, Vince Taylor and the Playboys, Cliff Richard and the Drifters and Shane Fenton and the Fentones.

Pity the Beatles came along and spoilt everything.

[thesteveus]

They say TV used to be in black and white.

Bollocks. It was in fucking beige.

[mrrk]

Pinky & Perky rock.

[crowamonghens]

PEOPLE WAKE UP

[NeilThompson30]

The comments on this are laughable - thank God for the Beatles! (yawn). The Pinky and Perky record has a Bill Haley style beat to it - something that the Beatles didn't do- and they couldn't if they tried.

Another comment implies they've never heard of Adam Wade! He was a big star in the early 60s - OK he sounded like Johnny Mathis but he still made some great records.

[beefoneeto]

Nutty Squirrels??

[Babyhowdy233]

Ha ha ha! David's expression is priceless and that woman actually tapping her toe to the song(obviously ENJOYING it)is more than a little scary! This proves what a WONDERFUL impact The Beatles had on British music(and music in general)!

[safemouse]

You need to listen to this to appreciate the impact of She loves you.

[Sugarplumfairy53]

Love it love it love it - they were all so polite bless them and as for David McCallum - hubba hubba!!!!!

[crawdaddyjones]

Hot couple at 4:15. prelude to Swinging London 1966.

[Davewakeham]

which one wore the beret , was it pinky or was it perkey. my god , what a heap of piggy doos

[redsnapper1959]

It was Perky

[j43ms]

can't find part two- hav you lorst it?

[rasherst]

The audience look like they're at a funeral.

[Hexachloraphine]

that blokes face, need a change of pants now wet myself laughing

[JekyllBoote]

It doesn't get any saner than this!

[ikikik01]

wonderful nostalgia after 48 years. how uppercrust they sound

[TUFCGULL2002]

After November 1963, I always liked to hear the closing credits to Juke Box Jury because I knew what was on next...Doctor Who!! Ha ha, But then, I was only 6 yrs old!

[wotnochips]

where's part 2?

[dormant111]

Great to see the beautiful Jill Ireland again, rest her soul, but amazing how wooden both she and her husband seemed on the panel. Actually none of the panel seemed relaxed or confident compared to people on TV today. I guess they were all nervous about having to be themselves instead of performers.

[lannykaster1]

most of these should be 'misses'.... they all sound so old fashioned. keeping in mind, during 1960, you had Cliff Richard, a bit of Elvis, etc.....

[samothraki1]

Adam Wade????

[phillper0906]

pinky & Perky, oh I think it's a miss for me. There's nothing like good music - and that's nothing like good music....LOL
