Top of the Pops
Wednesday, 19.30, 02.15, BBC4
There are only three episodes of Pops this side of Christmas that are longer than half an hour, one of which is this, so well done to BBC4 for that cracking slot for the extended version. An intriguing episode, all told, thanks to a slight revamp which sees the end of Whole Lotta Love – although it comes back a few times over the next few years – and a new look to the charts. Everything else remains as bog-standard as before in terms of presentation, though with The Crunch and I Feel Love riding high in the charts we’re a million miles ahead of what we’ve had for the rest of the year in terms of the music.
