The series featured celebrity showbusiness guests on a rotating weekly panel who were asked to judge the hit potential of recent record releases. By 1962 the programme was attracting 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.
