Walter Sobchak	There are plenty of scribes who seek inspiration from this board....
Leek	Pete Samson of The Sun being one of many Wapping fans and readers of this board spotted this story early Monday morning, wrote it up for the Bizarre page and ran it yesterday and today - JK, you may not write Bizarre directly any more (or get paid for it) but the Tipsheet is still the top source for stories.
Angel	All this chat reminds of the excitement of looking forward to TOTP the afternoon following Noels Christmas Gifts. Another great show. Sorry to digress.

TOTP was the main one for me but I also used to make a point of watching Lift Off, 45, Supersonic, Get it Together, Marc, The Arrows - and do you remember The Roxy? Before those there were Six Five Special, Ready Steady Go, Oh Boy, etc. Today we have virtually no Pop shows on TV - outside of the music channels. Shame really. Exactly. We have a rich heritage of music TV shows and now we have virtually nothing. Later With Jools is elitist fodder that is bland, predictable and boring. Don't forget even in the 80s you had TOTP, No Limits, Razzmatazz, The Tube, The Roxy. Whistle Test... even Cheggers Plays Pop! Remember those BBC2 all nighters as well? It disturbs me that the best the BBC can come up with is the hateful TOTP2 with the same old clips we've yawned at dozens of times with smug obnoxious Steve Wright voiceovers and dumb trivial captions all designed to annoy. It's all very well celebrating the Ghosts of Christmas past, but what about those of the present... and the future?
