Top of the Pops
Thursday, 19.30, 00.15, BBC4
Back in its spiritual home, it was rather convenient that The Sky at Night happened to fall last week because for the first time in five months we’ve had a wiped week, rather unhappily losing the only ever Top of the Pops appearance of Television, which means that this episode here is a bit similar in its line-up to the last one we saw, though it’ll seem a bit livelier with Kid Jensen in charge, and there’s a stone cold new wave classic tonight as well. Also, we got it wrong last time but we definitely lose the cold open this week with the charts being first thing again, which is a shame as we thought that was quite slick.
