PEOPLE OF BRITAIN...

I call upon you again, this time not to return after the break in Kingsley's game, but instead to show me your support in trying to get Britain's number 1 music show back on our screens. When I played my game on DOND I left Noel a TOTP orange wrist band as a little something to put the show back into his head-- so let Christmas Day's TOTP special remind us all about the age-old weekly tradition once lost and which could return bright and fresh in 2009.

Spread the word fellow forum members and let's put the Pops on the Top of our xmas wish list for great things to come in 2009!

'Tis all for now!

Merry Xmas everyone!

It needs to come back, for sure!

Once a year at Christmas just isn't enough for me, not to mention it being pre-recorded quite a bit in advance too!

If it does come back, do not get Jeremy Clarkson on as host again though!

Yes, but it's all about who's on it... They'd need a good variety of music from ALL genres, not just chart songs...

I used to watch it a lot back when I was young

Bring it back, but DO NOT bring that Top Gear host back, I want someone else to do it, but who?

That man's disdain for popular music is unbearable.

Anno wot u mean bout the pre-records--tho I went when there was a double record with Fearne and Rufus Hound and Phil Tufnell back in Aug '05-- half a dream come true-- other half to finally present it!!!

A boy can dream!

Bring back Andy Peters!

I'd love to see some full episodes re-shown from the 80s instead of TOTP2 - I've been into that on YouTube lately, but it's more snippets than full shows!

My mates ex wife was on the show as an audience participator.... and as the show closed was seen to squirt a water pistol in Kid Jensens face!!!

All joined up!

Yesterday's show wasn't bad either!

top of the pops was the biggest bag ever im glad it was axed and saddened it took so long

Good grief no... He was the one who totally messed about with the format, and is one of these people looked upon as music experts when in fact they don't know nearly as much as they think.

That said, I enjoyed TOTP in my younger days and it'd be cool to have it back. In two minds about Fearne and Reggie hosting though - hearing them present the top 40 is pretty painful.

Why was it axed in the first place?

In a nutshell... It ran out of ideas and people stopped watching.

If they left the show in it's original Thursday 7:00pm slot, instead of moving it to Friday 7:30 opposite ITV's Coronation Street then perhaps the show might have survived longer and would still be on our screens. Because as soon as they switched it to that time slot, the ratings started falling fast!

They should bring the show back. And not have Reggie Yates and Fearne Cotton as presenters every week! A modern day Legs & Co would be great too!

Did anyone else feel cheated by the Christmas Day and New Years Eve editions of TOTP? They were practically exactly the same! What a con that was!

It was on Fridays at 7:30 and I watched every week, but then they moved it to Sundays which of course is when they get the results of the charts, and that's when I stopped watching.
