Top of the Pops featured live performances by the day’s chart-climbers, while Juke Box Jury, an adaptation of an American show, had a panel of musicians, actors, sports figures, popular DJs, and other notable types critiquing new releases and declaring each a “hit” or a “miss.” As a solo artist, Nev Charles appeared on Pops several times, and on the other BBC series once, during a 1990 reincarnation hosted by Jools Holland.
