you lot have to remember TOTP2 is about putting on music to entertaine the public, not to dig out rare gems to update your tradeing lists! Matthew Matt WHO do you know that trades TOTP material? YOU must be sick of seeing the same performances as the rest of us, yeah? As a Slade fan, when was the last time you saw Gypsy Roadhog 20/01/1977 tape No LLV1798B OR: Blue Peter TX 17/01/1977 tape No LCH2092N Let me guess, when originally TX? I could go on, or are you friends with the Slade Management Newman & Co and already have this footage? BTW typical Slade fan can't spell "entertaine" "tradeing" What is wrong with wanting to see the amazing footage You, I and everybody else on this board KNOWS EXISTSOr would you rather this footage never see the light of day again? There are plenty of people on this board and others, that have fought long and hard to get this footage shown in the first place, over many years: Boxpops, Sounds of, TOTP2 ect ect without us YOU would never have even seen the footage shown in the past, never mind you taping it.

Is there anywhere where one can get a list of who was on all shows on which date?

I noticed that this week, the show was broadcast in it's native 4:3 aspect ratio.... well, apart from the new playout at the end, which was letterboxed of course.... but at least they've stopped zooming and cropping it .... makes sense to show it in 4:3 as, apart from the new performances, the majority of the show is 4:3 originally..... Yeah I noticed that too, although as it was the first one of this series I'd caught, I just assumed they'd been doing that since the beginning. It certainly makes sense anyway, since TOTP was filmed in 4:3 until the last 5 years or so, and even the most recent ones, although filmed in 16:9, were presumably shot to be 4:3 'safe' for those not watching on digital. So they shouldn't suffer too much if shown in 4:3. I certainly hope it continues tonight.

Nice to hear but once again no sign of any complete shows from the archives being repeated. Why oh why won't the BBC repeat any complete shows from their archives?????? Probably because any complete edition is likely to contain a large proportion of very obscure and even rather poor acts who were only on the show because their record was new or rising up the chart (if only in the lower reaches) and more importantly they were willing and able to appear. Doing compilation shows means you can concentrate on the more popular acts and make a better show for the general viewer... You'll notice the few complete TOTPs that have been repeated tend to be Christmas shows which are ready-made 'best of' compilations. (And that's just my opinion, not the BBC's, by the way) Would I be correct in saying Andrew that also apart from the 1967 Xmas show, the other 1960s prints are non broadcast standard. This is as some have the DJ links mute, jumps on vision due to edits and marred soundtrack sections on prints. The DJ links or some acts are also mute on the clutch that Cable T.V. didn't repeat. This I would think would be why they aren't shown, but it doesn't prevent the use of them in complete forms as extras on some form of TOTP DVD.

I looked this up on Infax. There it comes under a TOTP related index, but is listed as 'The Osmonds day 4'. It seems to be a series with successive show numbers (day 3, day 4 etc.) rather than TOTP featuring some of the TOTP DJs and some archive clips from TOTP i.e. 'Mr Soft' and CCS 'whole lotta love'. As far as I could make out anyway.

Who they trying to kid: Sat 25th Nov 06: Abba, Swing Out Sister, Chas and Dave, Jason and Kylie, the Leyton Buzzards, Barbara Dickson and the Pet Shop Boys. Plus a rare vintage performance from Van Morrison, a new one from Damien Rice and an exclusive look at the new Shakira video. Rare Morrison? 1974 clip from film shot for OGWT. Have they been shopping at Morrison's again? It gets worse: Sat 2nd Dec 06: With Adam Ant, the Four Tops, the Carpenters, Ozzy Osbourne, Britney Spears, Kool and the Gang and Take That, and new performances from The Fratellis and Nelly Furtado. Hardly reason to "Celebrate Good Times" Diabolical BBC gaztotp.blogspot.com/
