Well that was the usual mixed bag, but made bearable because of you lot *gestures wildly around at Fedi*
See you next time!

I am up and boogieing. Oh yes, sir. #TOTP
I don't like to shame people for their appearance but for goodness sakes, somebody please feed that woman some pies. #TOTP
CHA CHA CHA!

Kim! Looking and sounding so mid-80s it hurts. #TOTP
Obligatory pyeewwwww! #TOTP
Here comes 1984. I was 14 years old. I spent my life glued to the pop radio stations. This is my time! #TOTP
This is SO 1970s. Music, hairstyles, beige-based colour scheme, the lot. #TOTP
Giorgio Moroder basically inventing the sound of the 1980s with a disco beat. #TOTP
Ooh ooh I wonder if this is the #TOTP episode where she's shown as SLADE in the chart rundown.
Presumably the whiplash detector has gone PING! big style as we catapult from pure disco to pure prog. #TOTP

@leobrxd@mastodon.social If you're not in the UK you might need to find a British-based VPN that isn't blocked by the BBC. Then you can watch it on iPlayer. #TOTP
Pervy upskirt cameraman is really going for it with the one in the pink miniskirt. #TOTP
The cat has now jumped down off my lap and stalked off into the kitchen, tail swishing. I assume it's a commentary on this episode of #TOTP.

@internetsdairy@mastodon.art Yeah, but like this one goes up to five. It's like one string louder, right.

Unless you are Stevie Wonder, there is no reason you should ever play a harmonica on a pop record. #TOTP
When you're in the Pops studio at 7, and have to be at work as a merchant banker at 7:30.
#TOTP
Ahh yes, I forgot that Y2K was full of trancey trancey music. Good stuff, much of it, but not really #TOTP material.
My goodness, from great to even better. Alf! ❤️ #TOTP
TUNE! #totp
The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts (yes that's the name of his female backing singers) yell something on this song that sounds like "Hotch potch" and I've never quite worked out why. #TOTP

@YoContextKev@mastodon.social At my age?! Steady on.

Oi, Theakston! Hands off the instruments!

Chrissie Hynde looking as classy as she always does. Love the hat! #TOTP
Live vocals from Mr Bongiovi on this one? #TOTP
Oh dear, bins out. Pointless shoegazey nonsense.

Chris Evans isn't going to leave Channel 4 to come and work for the BBC no matter how much you play Billie's song.
Well, he will eventually. But not on the telly. #TOTP

@Kimberley@ecoevo.social Not unusual for early-to-mid 80s Pops. They used to give them out to the audience on arrival, along with party poppers, streamers, flags and balloons. #TOTP
Oh yeah, TUNE! #TOTP
Play Baccara you miserable sods! #TOTP

@captainarcee@retrochat.online "Top of the Pops". It was a very long-running weekly pop chart music TV show in the UK. It stopped transmitting in 2006 but every Friday night in Britain, the BBC repeat a few episodes. It has a small but very noisy following (sorry!) on social media.
#TOTP
Four episodes:

It's BBC Four tweeting time which means it's almost #TOTP tooting time.

@jess@blop.social They were going down in the charts. They didn't do that sort of thing back in those days. Proper Pops. #TOTP
Is this what Bananarama would have been if they'd been born 20 years later? #TOTP
(The answer is "no" in case you're wondering)
DEPESHAY KLAXON! #totp

This version of Rent is extraordinarily good. #PetShopBoys #TOTP
Anyway I unashamedly like this one. #TOTP
