Top of the Pops
19.30, 01.35, BBC4
We liked the increased topicality on Travis’ show the other week with his football references, his closer presumably worked out at the last minute as Liverpool would have been munching Gladbach while the show was being recorded. The studio looked absolutely tiny as well, even more cramped than usual, though The Stranglers setting up in front of Blue’s white grand piano was a pleasing juxtaposition. This is the week with the most famous number two in the history of the chart though Pops decided Neil Innes was the better bet to mark the occasion.
