Oh dear me, yet another broadcaster passed away.... how very sad!

I can remember David Frost on That Was The Week That Was and of course his many excellent interviews with world leaders.

David Jacobs I clearly remember as the popular Juke Box Jury host..... how time flies.

May both David's R.I.P they may be gone, but will be remembered with great affection

So sad to hear of the death of David Jacobs, I too used to listen to his late Sunday night programme , he had such a wonderful soothing voice and the music he played was very easy listening.

R.I.P David

The veteran broadcaster David Jacobs has died aged 87, his career spanned sixty years. He had been ill for a couple of years suffering from cancer and Parkinson's disease. I remember him on Juke Box Jury and still listened to him occasionally on BBC 2 on Sunday evenings RIP. We have lost RIP another gentlemen.
