On This day 19th May 1926 David Jacobs was born. He lived at 24 Telford Avenue

David Lewis Jacobs was born on May 19 1926 at Streatham Hill, the youngest of three sons of a Jewish fruit broker.
​
He was a reassuring presence whether introducing new pop records on BBC television's Juke Box Jury (1959-67) or keeping politicians and other pontificators politely but firmly in line on Radio 4's Any Questions? (1967-84).

David was the most professional and knowledgeable Presenter I remember on Radio and TV.
Having gone into radio myself in the 70s and again in 2017, I am always aware that his professionalism gave me the reason to always be professional on air.
His shows on Radio 2 were always great to hear, and I am pleased to have been around when he first began his TV career on Juke Box Jury.
His presence on TV and radio shall be greatly missed.
