Top Of The Pops to return!

Well, that was quick! According to the Sunday Mirror (24th September 2006 issue), there is an article with the headline 'TOP OF THE POPS BACK ON TV'. Here's what it says:


TOP Of The Pops is returning to our screens - just two months after it was axed. The music show will return on Saturday on BBC2 under the guise of Top Of The Pops 2. Traditionally, TOTP2 has featured archive material from the programme's 42 year run. But from next week, it will mix old footage with new appearances in front of a studio audience. Performances on next weekend's show will include Nelly Furtado's Promiscuos, Jamelia's Something About You and America by Razorlight. TOTP2 will begin with a 50-minute special. Subsequent shows will run for 30 minutes from 8pm. A TV insider said "Top Of The Pops used to feature new performances and some archive material. Now TOTP2 will feature archive footage - and some new performances. It's as if they've just brought the show on to our screens again through the back door."

The only decent music show was Nickelodeon's Top 20 in my opinion!
