Juke Box Jury [BBC 1960: Nina & Frederik + David McCullum & Jill Ireland: Tillotson & Donnegan] + [N&F: Songs of "Verdens rigeste pige" 1958]


Juke Box Jury: 1960

Jurors are:
NINA AND FREDERIK
+
David McCullum and wife, Jill Ireland,
before she fucked Charles Bronson]

This was a Saturday evening BEEB-polite programme, circa. 1959 - 1967.

Here's the Scenario:
David Jacobs, the Lord, from behind a desk, sentences the latest, offending 45s to hard labour; or finding them innocent, releases them into the custody of the poxy-faced arms of Blighty.

Defendants:


1
. JOHNNY TILLOTSON's, 'POETRY IN MOTION'. Miss Ireland thinks the lyric is, 'SHE'S LIKE A TREE IN MOTION'
+
2.
Skiffle-man and Jimmy Page, sideman, LONNIE
DONNEGAN, with 'LIVELY' testimonial

After a jury* (usually composed of 'whose currently snogging"), hears the case, deliberates, and within a split-second, tritely disposes of the accused [in what would be, i'd imagine, a fair trial in someplace like Guinea or Ghana], the Jukebox Lord pushes a button and the next defendant is slapped on the stand. 'Jukebox Jury' is compulsory viewing if you're an archivist at a stock footage company in the meatpacking district of Manhattan trying to cleanse your pallate with a little 16mm sorbet from the industrial footage you've been cataloging since Halloween. All in All, I Liked It!

*Apparently the first editions had a fixed panel including Pete Murray, Alma Cogan and a "teenagers'" view from Susan Stranks who later went on to become the nation's favourite alternative to Blue Peter.
