Juke Box Jury Music panel show which originally ran on the BBC Television Service from 1 June 1959 until 27 December 1967. The programme was based on the American show Jukebox Jury , itself an offshoot of a long-running radio series.
Throughout its run the series featured celebrity showbusiness guests on a rotating weekly panel judging the hit potential of recent releases. By 1962 the programme attracted 12 million viewers weekly on Saturday nights.
The concept was later revived by the BBC for one series in 1979 and a further two series in 1989/1990.
Juke Box Jury took a format where a guest panel reviewed new record releases in a 25-minute programme, extended to an hour for some Christmas shows. The format was drawn from that of the US TV series, Jukebox Jury . Host David Jacobs each week asked four celebrities (the 'Jurors') to judge newly released records on his jukebox (a Rock-Ola Tempo II) and forecast which would be declared a "hit" or a "miss" – the decision accompanied by either a bell for a 'hit' or a hooter for a 'miss'. A panel of three members of the audience voted as a tie-breaker if the guests' decision was deadlocked, by holding up a large circular disc with 'Hit' on one side and 'Miss' on the other. Most weeks the performers of one of the records would be hidden behind a screen and emerge to "surprise" the panel after they had given their verdict.
The series was usually broadcast from the BBC TV Theatre, Shepherd's Bush Green, London. Each programme normally consisted of between seven and nine records. Those editions which were pre-recorded normally followed a live transmission, and broadcast in the regular slot.
Juke Box Jury was first broadcast on BBC Television on 1 June 1959. Originally on Monday evenings, the BBC show was moved to early Saturday evenings starting on 3 September 1959 due to its immediate popularity. The series was produced by Russell Turner.
The original panel consisted of Pete Murray , Alma Cogan , Gary Miller and Susan Stranks , who gave a 'teenager's view'. However, the panel of judges changed from week to week and mainly featured current stars from music, television and film. The panel normally comprised two male and two female guests, many of whom appeared more than once. Actor Eric Sykes was often a panelist and Katie Boyle was a frequent Juror, as were Lulu and Cilla Black , who appeared twelve and nine times respectively. From December 31, 1966, a regular panel was established for eight consecutive editions. Jimmy Savile , Simon Dee , Alan Freeman and Pete Murray sat in judgement for all these programmes, having first appeared together on December 3, 1966. From February 25 until April 1, the foursome continued as regular panelists, but alternating in pairs each week, with Savile and Murray appearing together, followed by Freeman and Dee. Among the diverse others from the world of entertainment who appeared were Thora Hird , Alfred Hitchcock , Spike Milligan , Lonnie Donegan , Johnny Mathis , Roy Orbison and David McCallum .
By October 1959 Juke Box Jury had reached a weekly audience of 9 million viewers. Bill Cotton took over production of the series during 1960, to be followed later in the year by Stewart Morris and then Neville Wortman, who was to remain the producer until the series ended in 1967.
On 7 December 1963, the panel was the four Beatles , while George Harrison and Ringo Starr both appeared separately later, as did their manager Brian Epstein , who was twice a panellist. John Lennon had already appeared on 29 June 1963. Then on 4 July 1964 the five members of the Rolling Stones formed the panel, the only time there were more than four Jurors on the programme. Keith Richards later wrote of this appearance: "We didn't give a shit.... We just trashed every record they played."'
By early 1962, Juke Box Jury had a weekly audience of over 12 million viewers, while The Beatles appearance on 7 December 1963 garnered an audience of 23 million, and news of The Rolling Stones ' appearance the following June garnered 10,000 applications to the BBC for tickets for the recording. The attraction of the programme deftly crossed generational boundaries – younger viewers revelling in the appearance of their current pop stars, while older adults identified with the often anti-pop sentiments of the panellists from a non-musical or older background, confirming "adult and youthful prejudices at the same time"'.
In January 1967, the Sunday tabloid newspaper News of the World Mothers of Invention single "It Can't Happen Here" on a Juke Box Jury broadcast in November 1966 as it was 'recorded on a trip', and also blamed two of the jury for voting it a hit. The jury on this occasion included Bobby Goldsboro , Susan Maughan and comedian Ted Rogers . In fact, by the time of the article, the BBC had already cut seven minutes from the 7 January 1967 programme because of drug references in one of that week's chosen songs, "The Addicted Man" by the Game, which had resulted in universal disapproval by the Jurors during an extended discussion. This was part of a new policy for the programme during its last year of broadcast, when a regular panel of four disc jockeys was introduced, with a more detailed discussion of each song.
On 24 December 1966 and again on 5 August 1967 the Seekers became only the fourth band to appear as Jurors in the series, appearing just a few weeks after The Bachelors . The programme had by this time seen a drop in ratings, and from 27 September 1967 Juke Box Jury was moved from its prime place in the Saturday evening schedules and transmitted on early Wednesday evenings, replaced in the key Saturday slot by Dee Time Juke Box Jury was dropped from the BBC schedule because of its falling ratings, and the last broadcast was on 27 December 1967, with original Jurors Pete Murray and Susan Stranks appearing once more.
The programme has been revived twice, first in 1979 with Noel Edmonds as presenter, and then with Jools Holland for two seasons in 1989/1990, ending on 25 November 1990. The 1979 series was most notable for a panel containing Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), who gave a characteristically acerbic performance before walking out before the end of the 30 June 1979 programme.
BBC Radio Merseyside has run a radio version of Juke Box Jury for some years, hosted by Spencer Leigh and normally broadcast under the programme name On The Beat although it is often scheduled as Juke Box Jury . The broadcaster Chris Evans also ran a variation of the format in 2008 on his BBC Radio 2 'Chris Evans Drivetime ' programme, where listeners were invited to text either 'hit' or 'miss', plus their comments, to the programme.
The format also crossed over into children's television on Going Live and later Live and Kicking having a segment entitled 'Trev and Simon's Video Galleon (also Garden/Goldmine and Grandprix).
Because of the BBC's policy of wiping tapes of its programmes in the 1960s, and the practice of not recording live programmes, only two episodes 29 October 1960 and 12 November 1960 are thought to still exist in their complete form, although transcripts also exist of the Beatles' appearances – both solo and together. In 2001, during a year-long drive to find lost archive material, the BBC announced that an audio recording of the Beatles' appearance in December 1963 had re-surfaced, a tape taken directly from the television broadcast.
For the first six weeks of the programme, the theme to Juke Box Jury was "Juke Box Fury", written by composer and arranger Tony Osborne and recorded by his band under the name Ozzie Warlock and the Wizards.
The programme's producer Russell Turner then replaced the theme with another instrumental , "Hit and Miss", performed by the John Barry Seven Plus Four, which remained the title music from 1960 to 1967. For the last few months of the original series this was replaced by a version recorded by the Ted Heath Band .
The 1989–1990 Jools Holland series also featured "Hit and Miss", this time recorded by Courtney Pine .
An incomplete list of the guest panellists. Each week had four guest 'Jurors', often plus one surprise artist chosen from among the records played that week.
David Jacobs was host throughout the series 1959–1967, with Pete Murray standing in on a number of occasions.
