[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 871215, member: 176362"] A discussion thread for the BBC4 repeats of the 1979 editions of TOTP. Theres some good stuff in 1979 - the disco phenomena just starting to tail off, wrinkly rockers, the start of the electro phenomena, and a fair smattering of well whats best described as odd stuff! All TOTP fans should check out this site: [url]http://z6.invisionfree.com/popscene/index.php?showtopic=8918[/url] for the years show listings. For information - the BBC have dropped all Jimmy Saville & Dave Lee Travis episodes, so we lose about a quarter of the episodes (although a fair amount of performances from those shows are available on the 'net) [B]TOTP episodes[/B] The shows do tend to move around a bit in the schedules, but atm are on early evening Thursdays, and in the early hours of Friday mornings and Sunday morning The early evening version often has one act cut out to get the show to 30 minutes - the late night versions are normally shown in full. Ooccasionally they have been edited where rights issues have been a problem - eg many of the Grease films have been edited out and Legs & Co dance performances to the song added instead. [/QUOTE]
