Talk:Juke Box Jury

message: Would it be appropriate to mention the Beatles' appearance on the programme in more detail? It was the only time that the panel all came from the same group and ISTR Bill Cotton claimed booking the band as his best idea ever (to which one wag retorted that wiping the programme was his worst!).  Unfortunately, the programme was wiped but I remember watching it and that instead of the Hit or Miss cards, there were "happy" or "sad" Beatle faces which they held up.

thread_title:  Beatles' Appearance on JBJ 

message: Re cultural references, The Sooty Show used to have a Sootbox Jury segment. I can't find any evidence for that unfortunately so I haven't edited the article. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:36, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sootbox Jury 

message: Just a word of warning: I've come across far too many sites where the info on who appeared as a juror and when is inaccurate. For example the mcomet site entries - especially the Susan Stranks one http://www.mcomet.com/celebrity/Susan_Stranks-2170790/ - are decidedly dodgy - the dates there MAY BE correct for her (although I haven't been able to cross-refer with any other source) but the other guests in the entries are simply one week's guests on a JBJ she was on transposed time and time again. I've only added jurors from reputable actor/musician sites or where it's been well established and cross-referrable in more than one place. Brieflysentient (talk) 15:53, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding guest juror information

message: That looks like about all I can squeeze from sources at the moment. Although I have a couple of other minor bits to add later this week, I have a suspicion that pretty well all that's left in the way of useful info that doesn't descend into major trivia will be found in references from Radio Times and the many music press articles that aren't online, which is a lengthy process to hunt out and transcribe, or just lost forever. For example, the majority of the holes in the appearances list will be dj guest slots - the available sources are heavily kilted to actors, as its their stuff that's online; and I suspect thet the BBC records, inaccessible as they are, are as incomplete as they appear to be.
I'm aware of diluting the article by adding too much, so sadly couldn't squeeze in the line of fascinating trivia such as Kenneth Williams revelatory comments on his feelings about appearing, and the comments about Pink Floyd's Arnold Layne (which clearly dug deep) ... and Sooty is sooo trivial but such a good thing to have! There's also lots of details on what tracks were played (and on many occasions the jury's sadly misguided comments) if you hunt hard enough - sadly not appropriate for an encyclowhatsity entry. I suspect we're roughly at a point where the article can't go too far further other than filling in the guest spot gaps.
I do think there's good solid reasoning to have a 'cultural importance' section, with a little moving round of what's already there and a bit of delving into the social history curriculum material already available would facilitate that. I'd like to tease this into 'good article' status, if anyone wants to help/guide. Perhaps that would help make up for the shameful near-forgotten state the historical memory of a classic piece of BBC Broadcasting and music history has got into --- (anyone want to subsidise a book??? ;-))      Brieflysentient (talk) 13:35, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: My quick comment - apart from congratulating and thanking you for all the excellent additions - is that the cultural references section doesn't really need expanding overall, but it probably does need some of the dead wood trivia cutting out, and more considered authoritative commentary adding in.  I think that the comments of people like Kenneth Williams and Pink Floyd on the show might well be worthwhile to include (I haven't checked what they said yet!), and some choice comments on the records would, I'm sure, be fascinating.  I've already checked to see if long-forgotten panellists (probably a better word than "juror", by the way) like Gay Emma () and Henrietta Tiarks () deserve their own articles - sadly, probably not!
