JK2006	Or coming up with original, clever ways of illustrating music visually; that's my point MM - with No Limits we often used out-of-contract or dead artistes if the tracks were good; and set them to footage of the towns and young presenters; we got huge ratings (just under 6 million on BBC2) and broke some terrific hits. I'm trying to do the same with my films - Vile Pervert: The Musical, Me Me Me and, coming in 2013, The Pink Marble Egg. Mainly online at present due to problems beyond our control, but getting hundreds of thousands of viewers and selling quite a lot of downloads.

Ah, but that was a key contributor to the show's final decline in its latter years - always giving "available" artists (so always boybands, girlbands and dance acts) "live" studio time in preference to showing videos of better tracks...
JK2006	Rather a good, fair and lengthy defence of the show from Mark Cooper, who shows his heart is still in the right place. He calls me Grinch King and he may well be right. Apologies for being negative. We need all the music on TV we can get and with the poor old BBC having to fight against Mail, Murdoch and Media - the 3 Ms - I think we should all support it!
JK2006	If we can't give Russell T Davies The Brits (I would), can't we at least let him revive Top of the Pops like he did Dr Who? Please Mr BBC (whoever you may be)?
