Title: Last TotP.... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 17:04:49 ....tonight. :( Sure I must have seen the first and a good few in between.
As George Harrison said ....All things must pass. Title: Last TotP.... Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 17:07:45 A quelle heure reg?
Title: Last TotP.... Post by: Bedford Red on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 17:08:58 Used to watch this religiously when I was a kid in the 70's and early 80's; every Thursday night. That was the only chance then to see the bands before 24 hour music channels.
Sad, but haven't watched it for ages now. Title: Last TotP.... Post by: blinkpip on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 17:15:57 It will probably get big ratings tonight. It's been crap for years, all the pop, dance shit that no one wants to watch.

Which is, of course, why the Beeb have pulled the plug. I haven't watched it apart from the occasional viewing for a long time either. Like TotP 2 though, not sure whether that will get resurrected..

Merci bien monsieur - I shall watch while I set about my marrow! Title: Last TotP.... Post by: yeo on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 17:37:59 Its a shame but there you go.
top TOTP moments- Claire Grogan from Altered Images singing Happy Birthday in a founcy summer dress and huge summer hat. Think that could have been my 1st wank :D The Madchester one 8) Title: Last TotP.... Post by: Sippo on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 18:05:18 Pat Sharp :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Title: Last TotP.... Post by: Batch on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 20:37:48 Not to forget Dexy's Jackie Wilson Said in front of a huge Jocky Wilson backdrop.
It's been metioned a lot recently but it's still funny. http://tv.cream.org/images2/totp23.jpg Title: Last TotP.... Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 22:54:07 With mtv and the other music channels it was blatently on it's way out. Think they could have saved it by changing the focus of the show, good live music with the (now meaningless) singles countdown at the end.
From the few I've seen in the last couple of months they've been going this way a bit, but it tended to be mcfly's latest cover live and some clips of old ace totp stuff. I guess that they didn't react to the rise of the freeview music channels quick enough, instead of moving it to bbc2 early evening sunday slot theey should have considered changing it to a later night live music show. But meh, it's gone. I'd like to see totp2 come back, I used to enjoy watching that. Title: Last TotP....

Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 23:04:11 Yeah they should do that. They used to show repeats of The Old Grey Whistle Test on BBC2 some nights I thing. I know what it is anyway. But yeah I think that's what I meant.

You'd have liked the little cartoon features, which involved juxtaposing some 1930's animation with some prog rock garbage....if sufficiently stoned, then the world seemed a happier place.

Title: Last TotP.... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 23:42:56 Quote from: "sonic youth" i still think music will never be the same since john peel died. Hah...one thing Peel would have wanted was for his fans to know that there's always new stuff happening in different forms, different places. A lot of old stuff is worthy of treasuring, but there's new stuff which matches up, and there will be other stuff we don't know about waiting to delight. Title: Last TotP.... Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 23:57:07 Reg is right, Peel is a legend, but music moves on.
Title: Last TotP.... Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, July 30, 2006, 23:59:09 my concern is that these bands won't get heard or receive the same exposure as they may have done when peel was alive.
mind you, i think lamacq is going to end up taking over that mantle at some point. Title: Last TotP.... Post by: flammableBen on Monday, July 31, 2006, 00:02:55 I'll agree with you there a bit sonic. Peel was famous for listening to everything anybody sent it to him. I doubt there will be a high profile radio dj/personality who will live up to that.
