Good managed some of the UK's first rock and roll stars, including Tommy Steele, Marty Wilde, Billy Fury, Jess Conrad and Cliff Richard.

To get his way, Good had sets built, but shortly before the show started, they were wheeled out of the way, and he filled the space with the milling audience and performers.

The running order was sketched out on Friday morning, then the only complete run-through happened immediately before transmission.

[4] After trial broadcasts in the Midlands, it went national, in direct competition with Six-Five Special on Saturday evenings.

The programmes were broadcast from the Hackney Empire, London, and made a star of Cliff Richard, as well as showcasing Billy Fury in several editions.

When ITV replaced the show on 12 September 1959 with Boy Meets Girls, people wondered whether Good had lost his touch.

In 1964, he made a one-off programme Around the Beatles, but regular rock 'n' roll television had disappeared from British screens apart from Ready Steady Go, which made heavy use of Good's technique of building excitement and interest by allowing the audience to mill round the singers.

Good championed the rise of rhythm & blues and went to the United States in 1962, where he spent $15,000 of his own money to produce a pilot show for the American market.

A year later, a disc jockey gave the tape of the pilot show to an American television executive, who sent for Good.

The show could not survive without Good's dynamic influence and it was cancelled in January 1966 to make room for screenings of the new Batman series.

[6] He also produced records by performers including The Vernons Girls, Joe Brown, and Jet Harris and most notably, Billy Fury's 1960 album The Sound of Fury, cited by AllMusic as ""the best rock & roll album to come out of England's original beat boom of the late 1950s".
