Top of the Pops
19.30, 01.00, BBC4
Noel Pops are always that bit more interesting, we think, not necessarily in terms of quality – indeed, they often include the worst line-ups of all – but intriguing in terms of his cryptic links and the rather odd selection of artists, often by luck or judgement including a fair number of flops. As is the case this week, plus watch out for number eleven in the charts.
The chart countdown pictures are always amusing. They probably couldn’t find a picture of Piero Umiliani, so they’ve got a picture of a springy toy! Joy Sarney’s still at number 30! Should have been a top 10!
Also they had a picture of a mk3 Cortina going through a car wash for Rose Royce some time back.
