#totp and #nottotp (indeed any classic music on Friday\Saturday on the BBC) are my haunts
It's a mercy but some classic eps sandwich the athletics.

After the dreadful 97 episodes fade into the distance we have a real treat with four classic eps. The Specials, Showaddywaddy, DeeCee Lee (?), and Grace Jones among the acts performing. #totp

So tonight we have Bros in 88 and Siouxsie And The Banshees in 80 which should be the pick of the classic eps. And the intern has decided not to put the modern TOTP logo on the thumbnails this week. #totp

One hell of an actor.

Here he is in a publicity shot for The Poseidon Adventure looking bad-ass.

RIP Gene.

78 and 85 for the classic eps this week. God knows who that is in 78 (one-hit wonders presumably) but in 85 we have the only decent SAW track ever produced. And this week the intern has decided to randomly stick the modern TOTP logo on the thumbnails for reasons unknown. #Totp

Of the classic eps tonight 86 with Grace Jones looks to be the pick of them and in 90 it's... frankly I'm not sure! #totp

I've got a feeling this old girl didn't think much of our Rod. #totp

Of the classic eps tonight '80 and '75 would seem to be the pick of them with The Specials in '80 and is that Rick Astley in '91? #totp

The classic Top of The Pops episodes give us 1980 with Madness and 91 with Cathy Dennis.

The 90s have been giving us consistently excellent shows (said no-one ever) so it's up to 1980 to save the night. #totp

Of the classic Top of The Pops episodes 77 looks to the pick with Billy Idol fronting Generation X and in 92 Sir Michael Hucknall and Simply Red. #totp

This particular selection will bring much joy. Rare to show Top of The Pops episodes from before 77 as they can be "problematic".

Either no disgraced individuals in them or possibly edited. #totp

That moment your seat belt jams and you feel locked into your seat.

After the Top of The Pops 96 eps we have Big Hits 79 (The Specials shown). Should be good stuff there. 84 with Tina Turner. More good stuff I'm sure. And then "The Making of...". #totp TOTP

Excellent choice sir. The book is excellent too the cover of which is quite iconic.

Triple bill of loveliness.

83 and 88 for the classic eps this week. Morrisey (before, you know...) in 83 and Bananarama in 88. By 88 the 80s chart music scene had mostly dropped off a cliff. (Love me some Bananarama though). #totp #bbc4
