Let's hope it's not mimed like TOTP was. Anyone remember All About Eve?

Now if they were resurrecting The Old Dead Squirrel Test and whispering Bob was hosting...

I like watching old TOTPs on BBC Four but not surprising since I'm rather fond of some 80's pop music. I also remember watching The Tube quite religiously back in the 80's too. So difficult to get a music TV show right.

TOGWT was by far the best. It gave music a voice without any intrusive cobblers.

I've watched a few Top of the pops recently. Seems like a happier world, permanent Summer outlook so quite cheerful. Cobblers of course much like TOTP itself. John Peel more embarrassing than humorous. The others as bad as I remember, those that I knew. So many songs and artists I have never heard
Whistle test in a different league and so much better of course

I completely understand your preference Mike but you're not comparing like for like as it were - both those shows had completely different remits and to my mind both fulfilled those remits perfectly in their prime.

TOTP was great when the artists were playing live, which they seemed to try every now and again. It really showed who the better artists were, and some of the tracks sounded much better live.

When I were a lad we only had TOTP ! Vaguely remember 6-5 Special earlier as not so good RSG came along later and was heaven

Cheggers Plays Pop. Now what a contribution to the music show genre that was... Not.

Let's hope it's not mimed like TOTP was. Anyone remember All About Eve? It keeps getting reshown on tv cock up programmes. I'm sure it damaged their career.
