'Kinks - You Really Got Me' I Believe it was from the BBC programme 'The Beat Room' .
By the way, i noticed that there was a change on Christmas Day on the 'Watch' channel. Totp2 Christmas edition was scheduled in the evening, however they transmitted the 2007 Christmas edition of Top of the Pops. (Edited some links and songs out to fit into 60 mins including adverts). Is this a change of policy by the 'UK' channels to start showing 'full' top of the pops editions again?.

Yep the set is the late 1975/early 1976 model.
The clip shown the other night on the Xmas special was from 2-1-75
Thanks Paul for confirming the Kinks query!
Regards
Mark

Credit where it¡¦s due, I have to say I¡¦ve really been enjoying the current run of TOTP2. Forty years of TOTP performances have been well represented, with some of the gaps of the first ten years suitably filled with performances from other shows from that time. Sure, there are performances we¡¦ve seen time and again but they have been dispersed well with performances we don¡¦t get to see quite so often. As has been previously mentioned in this thread, most of the time the picture quality has been fantastic ¡V as if some digital remastering or something has taken place. Great to see TOTP back for Christmas Day too ¡V surely a full scale revival is now overdue ƒº

Gary, I've seen part of the 23/12/08 TOTP 2. I'm not sure whether it's a studio performance or a promo film (occasionally some recordings could be either) but at the following link... uk.youtube.com/watch?v=V9mW3c8I4CA - Is Showaddywaddy's Hey Mister Christmas a studio performance from the 12/12/74 (Jimmy Savile) edition of Top of the Pops? If not, which programme was it originally broadcast on? and is it a studio performance or promo film? David the Showaddywaddy Hey Mr Christmas comes from a stocking full of stars as tx'd on 25th Dec 1974 and is a studio recording. Wishful thinking on my part that this was broadcast on Top of the Pops. While it's very good that TOTP 2 fills in the gap with recordings from other UK and overseas television stations, it does confuse matters when they don't state which other programmes non-TOTP recordings come from, which can often resemble TOTP sets but actually be from different programmes, as in this case, but it was a very good performance and it's the first time ever that I've seen any recording of this song.

I see that the caption is for "Dec 73", even though the song charted in 1975. Who organizes the Caption date information? For some reason, it's not always accurate. I vividly remember The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again from 15/07/71 being billed as from January 1971 once. No offence to Steve Wright, or whoever does the captions, you always had the exact and correct transmission dates billed during the Johnnie Walker era of TOTP 2. Is the Slade photo from an existing Top of the Pops? (on the Database all are wiped for How Does It Feel on 06/02, 20/02 and 06/03/75) and which edition is it from?, or if not, which programme does this come from?

Just reading the christmas listings for 2009 and noticed that the TOTP 2 Christmas Special does not have Steve Wright. He's been replaced by Stuart Maconnie.

Great to see some 'unseen' performances (Abba, Jacksons, Kate Bush and Petula Clark) but as for the presentation Terrible jokey comments and a lot of talking over the tracks. Not the way to treat our musical heritage.

Switched off when E17 came on found the show condesending and Denise Van Outen was terrible
