The series was produced by Russell Turner. Originally on Monday evenings, the BBC show was moved to early Saturday evenings starting on 3 September 1959 due to its immediate popularity. Juke Box Jury was first broadcast on BBC Television on 1 June 1959. Those editions which were pre-recorded normally followed a live transmission, and broadcast in the regular slot. Each programme normally consisted of between seven and nine records.
The series was usually broadcast from the BBC TV Theatre, Shepherd's Bush Green, London. 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. 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. 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'. The format was drawn from that of the US TV series, Jukebox Jury. 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 concept was later revived by the BBC for one series in 1979 and a further two series in 1989/1990. By 1962 the programme was attracting 12 million viewers weekly on Saturday nights. The series featured celebrity showbusiness guests on a rotating weekly panel who were asked to judge the hit potential of recent record releases. The programme was based on the American show Jukebox Jury, itself an offshoot of a long-running radio series. Juke Box Jury is a music panel show which ran on BBC Television between 1 June 1959 and 27 December 1967. For the racehorse, see Jukebox Jury (horse). Plan a Meetup!
