Lorn Alastair "Johnnie" Stewart (7 November 1917 – 29 April 2005) was a British television producer who worked for the BBC.
[5] Continuing the popular musical theme, in 1963 the BBC recorded a pilot chart show, which Stewart produced.
Originally called The Teen and Twenty Record Club, it emerged onto the UK screens as Top of the Pops, which continued on the air until 2006.
Its initial presenters, on a rotational basis, were Jimmy Savile, David Jacobs, Alan Freeman and Pete Murray.
Stewart remained as the co-producer of the programme with Stanley Dorfman until he was succeeded by Mel Cornish in 1969[2] who was later replaced by Robin Nash in 1973.
