 * Juke Box Jury (BBC One, 5.15 pm) has seven minutes cut from tonight's edition. The show was recorded the previous weekend, with an all-DJ panel of Pete Murray, Alan Freeman, Jimmy Saville and Simon Dee. All four are reportedly shocked by the lyrical content of "The Addicted Man" by The Game. Murray comments "It’s the most disgusting record I’ve ever heard". The BBC decides to truncate the show owing to the ensuing outcry, even though the general public has yet to have a chance to hear the song. The Game’s Record Company, EMI, rapidly withdraws the record from release. (source and pic marmalade-skies.co.uk).
