David Jacobs sepulchral voice thrilled a nation when it introduced the hugely popular 1950s radio serial, Journey Into Space. His background as an announcer and newsreader made him a perfect choice as chairman of What's My Line and Any Questions.
Jacobs image has always been suave and immaculately blazered, and yet he found huge success in the altogether more casual world of the disc jockey. He has been voted Britain's Top DJ on six occasions.
