Top Of The Pops Repeats

[dave50]

Does anyone know what has happened to the repeats they were showing on Thursday evenings at 7.30 pm? Last time I looked they were up to 1979 now they appear to have stopped.

Shouldn't think there's anybody left hosting it that they dare show from that period of time!

I fail to see why they can't edit out the links, and just play the clips - who wants to see 'poptastic' DJ's (Peelie excepted of course) poncing about?

1979 ended because 1980 began....

Sorry for going off topic but does anyone remember the series that showed news clips from a certain year along with the music of the same year?
It was a great, nostalgic series. What was it called?

[Marijn]

HC, it was called The Rock and Roll Years. You've just reminded me, I've got them all on video tape :-)

Thanks, Marjin. :)

I remember the The Rock and Roll Years. That was a really good series. There was no narration if I remember rightly, just subtitles and the music. Shame they don`t make a DVD of it.
