Somehow the best song in this episode was the one that was already almost 20 years old. And the next best was a flop Gilbert O'Sullivan single. #TotP

Jungle Rock sounds like it's just about to teeter into being racist, but it doesn't, which I guess is something in this era #TotP

Have I missed On The Buses? #TotP

By the way, did David Hamilton say Bay Shitty Rollers? 😂 #TOTP

Too #$HORT hasn't done a song called "Life Is Sheer €legance" #TotP

Where Do You Go To My Lovely? but Swedish #totp

"He wasn't there or he just didn't care" #TotP

Watching this I can understand why John Miles was singing about music of the future and music of the past but not the present. #TotP

Sorry, I refuse to accept that there was an actual record called "You Sexy Sugar Plum", even in the Seventies. #TotP

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons appearing on #totp separately is something that really should have been covered in depth in Jersey Boys.

Frankie Valli has to do this song solo, because there's not enough room on the stage for his collar *and* the Four Seasons #TotP

But wasn't All By Myself composed by Rachmaninoff? #TotP

It sounds like there's a magpie on backing vocals. #TotP

Disappointed to note they are wearing the same outfits tonight. I hoped for a new form of elegance #totp

This is probably my favourite Four Seasons single, because it doesn't have Frankie Valli screeching on it. #TotP

They should have cut this song because it sounds a bit like the theme to Jim'll Fix It. #TotP

Is this punk? #TotP

If only the song was called Paperback Reader. #TotP

It's unclear whether anyone involved in the making of this record has ever heard any reggae music. #TotP

Reggae just like mum used to make #totp

"Errol, we loved that You Sexy Thing, can you write another song that sounds the same please?" #TotP

This would be from around the time #TOTP was on & my cousin James, an ex-copper, went, 'Shit, that's Steve Harrington. I used to have to lock him up for his own safety in Blackwood on a Saturday night. The miners wanted to kill him for being a poof'

"Here's Curtis Stigers, and I Wonder Why" "The producer invited him to come on" #TotP

youtu.be/S270tYplbN8 Imagine was the last song John Lennon ever sang in public, at a tribute concert for Lew Grade. #TotP

Christmas is over, more like #TotP

From the days before John Birt when Bad Manners could borrow a Henry VIII costume from the BBC costume department. #TotP

Sorry but if you rhyme fly, sky, high and dragonfly IN THE FIRST SIXTEEN WORDS OF YOUR SONG you should not be allowed to release it. #totp

Is "Honey Bane" supposed to be a pun on something? #TotP

More tartan than I expected on this episode. #TotP

I once interviewed Kevin Godley about Fade to Grey. Made for £5,000, and £2,500 of that went to the make-up artist. #totp

I'm sure there are technical reasons for it, but wouldn't it be better to cut the videos in favour of the actual performances? #TotP

'Hello, Mr Basquiat, welcome to Blue Peter. Now, I believe you're going to tell us about something called "scratching". It doesn't have anything to do with pork, does it? Ha ha ha ha ha!' #totp

Dogs have always been a FAR more dangerous vector of rabies than bats. Bats weren't known to carry rabies till 1911 & only made the spotlight once dogs in rich countries were vaxxed. Here’s an article I wrote about this for @batconservation.bsky.social ukbatcarenetwork.wordpress.com/2018/12/04/a...

I bet the vision mixer was really excited to have a song called The Freeze on #TotP. "Look I can use the freeze-frame effect"

It's all gone a bit Whose Line Is It Anyway #totp

She's rapping, shes rapping, she's rappity rapping #totp

This is the Blondie video where Clem Burke has a beard that makes him look a bit like Bob in the Likely Lads Christmas special. #TotP

"Mr Crooper" eh, subtitles? #TotP

Always loved I Am The Beat, primarily on account of the last verse where they patently ran out of stuff to say and just made up a load of utter bollocks. #totp

BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! BEAT! (repeat until the heat death of the universe) #totp

The Moffats, no relation to Aidan Moffat from Arab Strap. #TotP

Look I know none of you respect my opinion as a Eurovision expert who came 19th, but this also would have done much better than Precious #Totp

I'm pretty sure this is the same Alberta who had a Top 48 hit a few weeks earlier with attempted cash-in hit Yo-Yo Boy. #TotP

It must have been around this time that I flicked through the first edition of Heat Magazine in Woolworths, and saw a story claiming that the charts had become so predictable bookies wouldn't even take a bet that the next three Number One singles would be Britney, Blur and Boyzone. #TotP

They obviously couldn't find any moving images of Steppenwolf. #TotP

Would a credit card receipt itemise how many people ate dinner? #TotP

The first of 5 plays of this Whitney Houston song. Be warned #TOTP

I can understand some people wanting to see Lenny Kravitz, but I'm not sure it's necessary to hear him as well. #TotP

Apparently negotiations are still ongoing to get the Lucid singles onto streaming. #TotP

Two consecutive episodes with different songs called Crazy. Although I think that's the most common hit song title in chart history. #TotP
