Juke Box Jury 1960 (part 1 of 3)

[spotsycool]

took the 'lively' song to get a genuine smile on DM's face. lol

[spotsycool]

ahhh! I just can't get over how young David looks!! He looks like a little boy and he was almost in his 30's by this time. Aren't his expressions so interesting to watch? I could watch his face all day and never get bored..there's always a different expression on his face and it always makes me wonder just what was going on in his mind.

[Londonrainwaters]

" He always makes me laugh.....well, when he means to, of course..."

Just like you, David, just like you...

juke box jury 1966

[knighterrantfilms]

Has anyone got the Rolling Stones edition in 65 (?) when they ripped it up!

[squirm13]

Really good, i am looking for the episode with carol anne ford.

[TRUMPER007]

Jill Ireland was gorgeous - a few years later she became Mrs Charles Bronson (and Mr. Spock's girlfrield in an episode of 'Star Trek').

[GeneRobertson]

@TRUMPER007 - Sure was......god rest her soul.

[Gonzo196969]

Fantastic curio piece, does anyone know if the episode of Juke box jury from nov 1966 featuring the Mothers of invention's it can't happen here is on YouTube? I really like to see after reading about it In Frank Zappa special issue of Mojo magazine.

[stwads]

Were'nt Nina & Frederick both involved in (seperate) scandals?

[midsaint776]

excellent !

[kgs42]

Very thunderbirds ............ innocent. What they put up with then!!"

[radekbayek]

They didn't know what was going to hit them soon... the Beatles!!! :)

[MrByrdbath]

@radekbayek Thats what I was thinking.....and didn't they need it....so,so conservative.

[expatbritingermany]

AAhhhggg! This makes me feel ancient - because I remember it, and it looks (and sounds) so dated now ;-) But it's great to be able to see it again, so thanks for posting!

[lottaluck]

@Gyphia Timeless classice Poetry in Motion.A moving tree is when

you are in your car and look at the trees .

[weenyone]

what was David McCallum's claim to fame in 1960 pre MFU

[expatbritingermany]

@weenyone - he'd apparently been acting for several years before The Man from Uncle made him really famous.

[CBETelevisionNetwork]

where is part two?

[TheAnn2shoes]

@zaniac1000 And you can remember those days? :)

[johnniescarlett]

Life was so simple then. We'd sit at home and watch people waggling their feet in time to a record!

I wish I could go back in time!!

[TheAnn2shoes]

@johnniescarlett Me too, what does this prove? We're getting older! But I wouldn't want to be a teenager now, I think we had it all.

[franklindavid]

This video is a time capsule.

[heymargaretlook]

Pity there is no footage of when the Rolling Stones were on the show the media got stuck into the Stones it would be a classic these days.

[ttbrcvts]

AAA

[caley956]

Yeah yeah, nostalgia ain't what it was. This programme was past its sell by date before it was even commissioned - safe, patronising, mostly know nothings on the panel, certainly a know nothing chairing it. I can hear them now - "No don't like this much - who is it? Bob Dylan eh? Never heard of him. He can't sing and it's not a very catchy tune is it? He'll never get anyhere. Sorry, it's a miss." And they still work the trick now - Cowell, anybody?

[heymargaretlook]

@caley956 - For a Show that was past its used by date before it started your statment. Jukebox Jury lasted 7 years try do that today.

[markstar777]

THIS IS GREAT GREAT GREAT. thanks for posting tvtimes1966!!!!!!!!!!

[Strawberry7Lynn]

Funny isn't it, they're not impressed with the classic "Poetry in Motion", but they rave over Pinky & Perky, ha ha!

[TheAnn2shoes]

Oh we were all so tame in those days.........

[AbuAvital]

What memories, thanks for posting.

[leaningoak]

White folks in the groove ;o)

[LittlPussi]

The Man From U*N*C*L*E..... on music! :D

[fisherman1955]

illiya kuriakin

[charliemctruth]

Anything Nina says Is ok vis me and Lonnie

[2008chaddy]

My god, how old does this make you feel ha ha 

[sorova]

God they're square!

[BIGSOULMAN1]

Where's part 2?

[shrivel1]

I love the way they just got on with it after the introductions. No daft banter or irrelevant chat. It's just about the records and not the celebrities.

[BillDFC]

Someone smart,articulate and polite presenting a pop show......how times have changed.

[GravityBoy72]

That Lonnie Donegan record was dreadful.

This clip is priceless, that's for the time warp.

It's amazing that the programme was considered entertainment.

Now, where's the Rolling Stones on the panel of Juke Box Jury?

[drb7777]

Makes you wonder what they would say about the rubbish thats around now!!

[96rorrim]

Hey, TvTimes1966, why don't you tell whether the jury got it right, and if these songs became hits way back then?

[jet936]

Thank You........I remember watching this every Saturday.

[spocko87]

Where can u watch the episode that John Lennon was on?

[scorpiofootiemad]

Eight out of ten people thought ms nicholls appeared on this show-WRONG! After her TYLS days,she may have been invited to JBJ,but by then she was a married lady and pop music was not her forte at that time.

[youtubister]

Straight via the Time Machine: Juke Box Jury, 1960! Blimey! David Jacobs! Husband and wives: Jill Ireland (who later married Charles Bronson) and David McCallum! The very elegant Nina and Frederick (the Baron van Pallandt no less)!

The Baron joined a major Australian crime syndicate in the 90's, for which he provided transportation for drug trafficking, and was shot dead with his second wife in 1994. God, life does take some amazing turns.

[elfinia]

I watched it every week. Saw Nina and Frederick in concert back in the day ( I was a girl). They sang a lot of folk with good harmonies..."Listen to the Ocean" was a hit. By 1960 Lonnie was past his hey day...but was a great old style entertainer ( Scottish Essex boy ) and not bad on the old banjo. He was a huge influence on the artists to follow including John Lennon. All the Beatles appeared together on JBJ in 1963. They clowned around and were very funny.

[tildakovach]

My God these people should be around NOW to hear the sort of ear splitting noise that is touted as music!!!!!

no tune, no words just jungle beat for easier head banging!!

Oh, yes I DO LOVE "POETRY IN MOTION" !!!!!!!!!!!

[jackslicl100]

they all seemed to like the song that never amounted to much anywhere but the U K. poetry in motion was a big hit with the age group it was written for. not stuffy older people like these CELEBRITIES..

[panchopuskas1]

What a smarmy twat that David Jacobs was.

[Krzyszczynski]

@panchopuskas1 : The Rolling Stones sorted him out when they comprised the whole panel on one show c1964. George Melly compared the resulting debacle to "a rather badly trained chimpanzees' tea party".

[leehollings]

Poetry in Motion hit #1 in UK. Lively only reached #13. They should've had unbiased teenagers rating the songs, not adult Englander's.....

[funkyalfonso]

I remember seeing the Beatles on JBJ. I think the BBC wiped the tape. That's what happens when accountants run things.

[dadaphone]

Not my kind of record!

[Grifiki]

"We made it... In 1959 wnen I was stationed overseas. These guys were just another eventual level, You?"

[Grifiki]

I also heard many of these when I was stationed in Kenya. I got all the best from my own, Closed- Circuit Radio. When your stationed over-seas. You get so many recordings, the reall world never hear...

[deltorso]

Poetry in motion = classic , so much for nina & fredrick ,as for McCallam he should stick to "the man from uncle" which was crap.

[PAULLONDEN]

@deltorso

Sweet...but painful to watch.

'Man' from duncle,more like.

[julbim]

You can see that David McCullam, though he can't put a finger on it, cannot wait for the sixties decade to really start i.e. the Beatles and the Man From Uncle

[CrankCase08]

You have to be joking. David McCullam was an old fart.

[penfloyd]

Am i really that old?.....Memories.

Imagine their comments on todays music.......

[itsme111478]

Damn, Ducky was young back then.

[Whiter00m]

We were all young back then!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ds28690]

@Whiter00m No we weren't. Some of us were not born yet and there were many people over 40 I'm sure. Of course I may be wrong . . . I wasn't there because I wasn't born. (Not trying to be a smart ass . . . no offense intended.)

[Whiter00m]

@ds28690 None taken - wtf was i thinking righting that drivel in the first place.

[queensword]

I'm 55 and loved this show every week. Wonder what happened to Janice and her say "Oi'll give it foive"

[snowy1552]

Janice Nichols wasn't on Juke Box Jury...she was on Thank Your Lucky Stars..she is on internet with her own website..

[Snedger]

It looks crap now but it didn't at the time and had a huge teenage audience. There was nothing else really.

[hooplemott]

Do specsavers still do those glasses? :-)

[MARIOLOPEZ26]

bria epstein liked this show very much

[mansell863]

what a bunch of toffs

[TheQueen4music]

This is the first time watching this and I must say, I'm glad I did. I'm only 14, but I know most of these songs because I love Music. Thanks for uploading. I wish they had these kind of programmes on the tv now. They have rubbish programmes now lmao.

[mansell863]

i would like to see a program like this these days, unfortunatly they'd probably be reviewing the half naked dancers rather than the tune itself

[redredreds100]

my god, you are only 14, and I'm 54, I remember watching this every saturday in london, I forgot all about this programme, it warms my heart that all these years later a 14 year old enjoys it, very cute

[pokkettz]

Yay! Lonnie Donnegan does gangsta. It's a hit! Bling!!!

[boogiefever1985]

Poetry in Motion is a great song! If they thought that saxophone was "a little harsh" they didn't know what was going to hit them in the next 3 decades!!

[TheDavidfiore]

Jill Ireland absoluetely beautiful!!!!!

[glyn001]

How terribly (absolutely) British and awfully 1960's. Even with the pop years upon us the BBC wouldn't possibly entertain the idea of panel show hosts and contestants dressed in anything other than suits, ties and pocket handkerchiefs, and the ladies in evening dress ...they did all look very smart though. And of course the comments whilst performing for the BBC were all very prim and proper. Thsi is an interesting and nostalgic look back at the transition period before the wild 1970.s.

[redredreds100]

you are so correct, this is so staid, and lame, typical bbc, i loved your comment, the audience, with slight head nods, this is so bbc

[sapphiretaurus]

@glyn001 Not having been around in that era, and seeing the monstrosity of TV shows now, it's nice to see people on a TV show and in the audience who dress properly and behave. It's all about professionalism and demeanor.

[copewood333]

Or better still, subject the jury to same squad.

[copewood333]

All those years ago. I eventually gave up hoping they would one day replace the jury with a firing squad.

[fossie32]

Gold!

[sedroc99uk]

freak big mouth  pc brave shesh u asshole get a life

[jfab64]

WIll someone PLEASE put on YouTube the audios of the Beatles' JBJ or John Lennon's 1963 JBJ appearances? They must be heard!!!

[Hickey66]

I'm crying. so long ago and so innocent.

[Alice555foxylady]

I've heard that Jane Asher for some time was the intereviewer of that programm

[arbutus27]

True, this was highly exciting at the time. Remember the time when the Jury was composed of The Fab Four? In those days we had to make do with an hour of Pick of the Pops Light Sunday pm on the Programme - or a very crackly Radio Luxemburg. Jill Ireland: later married to Charles Bronson and made some truly dreadful movies.

[j43ms]

she was in "hell drivers" (1957) and "the street fighter" (1977, with bronson) to name two decent ones!

[gbraae]

How funny to see Nina & Frederik on the Beeb lolol

[chezfun]

WOW!! How fun to view these old shows!! Cool!!

[Glennsbikingplace]

How cool is this,to be able to watch the old show's, what did happen to part two...

Brilliant Posting..thanks..Glenn.

[altfactor]

Wasn't this based on a local show in Los Angeles that aired in the 1950's and hosted by a local TV personality there named Peter Potter??

I'm surprised the concept was not revived in the 1980's as a show that rated new music videos. That would have added a more visual dimension.

[baxterslider]

whatwever happened to part two? Really annoying.

[VealParmigiana]

Frederick was a pompous A-hole who on this Jukebox Jury video, panned Johnny Tilotson's, "Poetry In Motion", my favorite song of the early 1960s, while praising a light novelty tune by Lonnie Donnigen. Frederick later graduated from singing to providing trransportation for drug traffickers in the Phillipines. The angelic singing Nina later was involved romantically with Clifford Irving who tried to get a fake Howard Hughes biography published..

[NeelieLyn]

Good one Veal...I thought she looked familiar.

[kelime]

Wow! That IS Nina Van Pallandt. I had no idea she was a singer. I first heard of her from the Clifford Irving -Hughes affair and her roles in Robert Altman films.

[leehollings]

VealParmigiana - you should be on the writing staff of People magazine - or int her "Paraed" insert of Sunday news papers. Clever write-up, direct but witty, factual but a bit shocking, interesting to read. I'd like to see more of your reveiws of the famous (or previous famous) - it would be a very interesting read....

[alfiesgirluk]

Crikey weren't us Brits staid in those days.

Much more innocent in those days compared to today...........I wonder what the panel would have made of some of the stuff nowadays............Dr Dre for instance lol

[BytteBob]

NICE. Do you have other episodes too?

[bootsamou]

JBJ really wasnt boring at the time. Remember, there had been nothing before it. Ready,Steady,Go & Thank Your Lucky Stars hadn't started and it was years before Radio London & other Pirate radio Stations. This was the main way to hear new releases each week and was watched by almost everyone in the country. 6m Saturday eves. if I recall.

[bleema2]

david macallum was the man from u.n.c.l.e.

[CottferLAD22]

But at least they could spell

[123strauss]

At least they could spell, you moron

[smithhedgehog]

please don't call people morons. and though i can spell, sir, its not nearly as important as the content/substance of what someone is saying: my point was perfectly valid, and my opinion alone.

[audiocd99]

You are the moron for berating someone because they can't spell.

[123strauss]

No , you are . He was berating someone in his comment . ( which he removed ) . I was returning the compliment ..so butt out . ..moron

[beefoneeto]

Poetry In Motion is a great tune.Donegan was famous for his sharp,witty nonsense songs among a pretty good repertoire.

[sludgefingers]

I remember this show frm when I was a bairn. Pple must have been easy to please because it is almost indescribably boring.

[Bellyflops2]

Thank god the Beatles came around to save music from crap like these songs.

[eyupmeducks]

lol, well said belly

[123strauss]

Yes ..Love me do was a classic ...

[9170126]

Jill Ireland left David McCallum to marry Charles Bronson and after many years together she died of cancer.

[leedsbulldog]

Nina's Quite Tasty

[rockinkb]

remember seeing this episode when it was first shown brings back memories, love lonnie donegan also. thanks for posting

[alanvking]

What a bunch of stuffed shirts !!

[Harvey030547]

How wrong can you get?

[wallygator100]

Is Nina wearing that dress or sitting in it ?

[bellgardens53]

wallygator100, She's sitting in it, Hehe

[wallygator100]

Nifty Camera work.

[ccmcootie50]

who are nina and fred?

[stbricesday]

Probably about the last of the 'pop' artistes that actually could sing, bearing in mind Crosby, Sinatra etc. were of an earlier era.

[riccles1960s]

ps. Hey - but what a great BBC logo at the commencement of this programme!

PR

[riccles1960s]

Some things are best remembered without being shown again, and sadly this is one of them. Noel Edmunds had a go at resurrecting this show without much success. Let's just hope Mr Blobby isn't given a second outing!

PR

[sunnsight]

what a nice innocent time it was the 60's

[MySuperNan]

@sunnsight people were nicer then

[Khultan]

@sunnsight Innocent time?!? 

[sunnsight]

@Khultan sure it was....at least in my opinion....

[Khultan]

@sunnsight Okay, if you say it that way, were you a alive in the 1960s and if so what were you an infant, youth, or adult? That's a fair question to ask.

[sunnsight]

@Khultan yes it was...at least in my opinion....

[jbb22310]

songs are great! but what a boring show!!!!

[redhouseblues]

Jill and Nina - Ding-dong!!

[bjb8847656]

The Girl was, I believe, Janice Nicholls and the show was "Thank Your Lucky Stars"

[sasmanwayne]

What was that show from this period where a girl from Birmingham became famous for saying ''I'LL give it five''

[pljms]

I worked out that this particular show came from November 1960, as 'Poetry in Motion' entered the UK Top 40 on December 1st of that year, eventually getting to No.1. So, yes, definitely a 'Hit'!

[redsroadshow]

Brought back memories, unfortunately makes me feel old, remember this when it was originally broadcast!!

[jfab64]

Some good news: I heard that a Juke Box Jury episode from 1963 featuring John Lennon exists. It was noted in a great book on the Beatles' TV/concert/interview footage. Would love to see it. I read that he absolutely disliked everything that was played.

Also, let's push to try and get the Beatles' JBJ appearance on here as well.

[Widmerpool99]

David Jacobs was a real smoothie, wasn't he? Do you reckon he got any groupie action?

[Ampex196]

A vastly different and more innocent World. I'm assuming that this programme would have been transmitted live from the TV Theatre, Shepherds Bush Green. This will be a film recording (in the days before VT spread it's wings) and none the worse for that. Sadly, b/w 16mm film is now all that remains of some BBC programmes; even some recorded in colour on Quad in the 70's. It is a shameful situation to say the least!

[lkijju]

Thanks samothraki1. That looks very helpful if still somewhat daunting for a PC idiot like me. I'm sure it's a big help though.

Thanks a lot.

[samothraki1]

Convert tape to DVD and then download on to your computer. Then convert your video file to AVI format using an on-line file converter and then upload to youtube. It's not tto difficult. Good Luck!

[altodivo]

I LOVE NINA AND FREDERICK!!!! I had a record of them singing Jamaican Songs which I wore out when I was 11 or so...

[theflyingglove]

'o sinner man' was amazing

[shillabarquet]

holy shit where did u get this video? Wow its amazing... i wish i lived in that era lovely era
