I've been watching these and I love them
In fact..with a bit of re-jigging I reckon the format could easily be done again today.
Few shows generate the sort of excitement about music ToTPs does. |

reminds all you pop-pickers that there is NO TOTP on BBC4 tonight, but you can catch the 3rd June 1976 edition of the show on Monday night at 19:30 (unedited repeats at 01:15 on 17th June) |

Indeed, one of the weirder Ruby Flipper performances last week...
And in the end they did show the 27/5/76 episode, despite the EPG claiming otherwise.
There's no edition this Thursday, instead it 3/6/76 will be shown on Monday next week.
The editions are lagging further and further behind in terms of synchronicity due to "The Sky At Night" popping up in the schedule every five weeks, but the aforementioned missing episode scenario should level things back up by Christmas, just in time for the project to be axed(!)... |

This week:the astoundingly horrible Heavy Metal Kids, who appeared to be fronted by Ronnie Wood's scrotum, and a 'dance' routine for Bowie's TVC15 that made witless people look intelligent. |

Alexis Petridis on TOTP and pop music in 1976 and now:
"If you haven't seen it, it's difficult to express how awful TOTP - and by extension - pop music seems to have been in 1976. Every week, something comes on that causes you to be gripped by the absolute certainty that an unequivocal nadir has been reached and that things can only get better: second-division glam-rockers Mud going disco in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable; Dave Lee Travis's mirthless novelty record Convoy GB. It's invariably followed by something even worse: JJ Barrie's No Charge; second-division glam rockers the Rubettes going country in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable; and, my personal favourite, Paul Nicholas's awe-inspiring Reggae Like It Used to Be."
Was 1976 pop's worst year? |
