Subject: Top Of The Pops - The Final Countdown
Written By: Mark Leech on 07/30/06 at 12:39 pm
In just over 20 minutes time, the very last edition of a national institution will be shown on BBC2. A show that has been on every week of my life, a show that is renowned throughout the world, and a show that every artist, old and new, want to appear on. A show that I have watched for 25 years, and kept a copy of every show for the last 16 years.
Top Of The Pops - we salute you.................

I have set the DVD to record tonight's homage to a great television programe.
After 42 years of pure pleasure and pop information, there will be a huge void left by the Beeb.

I watched The True Story of Tops of the Pops last night. They said there will be a Christmas Special this year and TOTP2 is still being broadcast.

If there is a Christmas Special, it will not be the same, none of the artists (except those upto end of July) will be performing on the TOTP Stage.

I would imagine they would get some bands in specially for that show and get them to perform highest charting hits from 2006.

It would be cheaper, but will there still an audience required?

It had really reached it's sell-by date some years previous...
Nevertheless, always sad to see 'part of the furniture' go...'bye TOTP!

Extracts on various programmes but not a whole show as a programme on mainstream BBC, but UKGold did show complete shows, when the channel first started.

But the BBC kept replacing these shows with Snooker and Golf.
