Alley Cat, 13 April 1962Jean Owen (later Samantha Jones) of the Vernons: “JBJ was my very first television show and it was Lover Please that they were listening to and we just had to sit there smiling. Carole Carr who was a singer was on the panel and Gilbert Harding too. They put us behind a panel so the actual panel didn’t know that we were there. We thought it might be a Miss but it was a Hit. I had had visions of Gilbert Harding saying dreadful things about it but he was fine. It was genuine, we came in late and they definitely didn’t know we were there.”

“How many viewers spotted TV actor Ian Hendry obviously enjoying himself in the audience of JBJ on 23 September. He appeared to be singing Sucu Sucu and revealing perhaps another talent undiscovered. How about him making a JBJ panellist sometime?”

This was the first time JBJ had ventured out of the studios.
The BBC was having an At Home week in Portsmouth.
The audience was to include naval ratings, who were bound to be more vociferous than the usual teenage audience.
David Jacobs is ex navy himself, a Chatham rating.
Pete Murray has done 40 JBJs: “We are friends but what we say is sometimes slanderous to each other.”
Jill Browne is a third DJ as she is presenting her own BBC show.
After she was previously on JBJ (Programme 89), she was invited to make a record and it will be out soon.
When June Thorburn wants to slim, she puts on rock’n’roll records and jives away.David Jacobs was exasperated with Harry Fowler on ‘Juke Box Jury’.
