Johnnie Stewart

Johnnie Stewart

Johnnie Stewart was a television producer who worked for the BBC.

Career

Stewart started off his entertainment career in the BBC radio sound effects department in the late 1930s. In 1958 he produced "Juke Box Jury" for BBC Television.

Continuing the popular musical theme, in 1963 the BBC recorded a pilot chart show, which Stewart produced. Originally called "The Teen and Twenty Record Club", it emerged onto the UK screens as "Top of the Pops", which continued on the air until 2006. Its initial presenters, on a rotational basis, were Jimmy Savile, David Jacobs, Alan Freeman and Pete Murray. Samantha Juste, one of the programme's assistants, sat alongside them and placed the records on a turnable.

After work

Stewart finally retired to Ibiza where he died aged 87.
