Ed Stewart (23 April 1941 – 9 January 2016) had a long and illustrious career in broadcasting. Perhaps best known for presenting "Junior Choice" on BBC Radio, Ed started his career in Hong Kong, he was a radio pirate in the mid sixties before becoming a BBC stalwart and presenter of the Friday evening childrens' programme "Crackerjack". Shout it! This programme was originally broadcast on The Wireless and included Ed's favourite five pieces of music.
