Synopsis
Pop music programme which is best known for its 'Spin A Disc' segment, clearly intended to replicate the success of Juke Box Jury.
Spin A Disc invited a panel of "typical teenagers" to review the latest singles and award up to five points for each one. A young teenager Janice Nicholls with a broad Staffordshire accent came to fame thanks to her catchphrase "Oi'll give it foive".
Trivia
The Beatles' first professional television performance was on this show. On the final Goodbye Lucky Stars show, the producers cheekily intercut their original performance with shots of the real audience supposedly "watching" them.
