Vance! Stop that! #TOTP

Breakup album songs are the best songs. #TOTP

No, I am not getting enough hot chocolate. #TOTP

Fucking hell Daltrey, at least try to keep it in your pants. #TOTP

Well this is a bit special. No snark, just Grace Jones at her imperial best. #TOTP

Again, though, some clever lyrics. Must've been something in the water in the early 80s. #TOTP

What, they put the cameras on the guitars?? #TOTP

Oh yes! #TOTP #1988Watch

So all those who did google Sue Wilkinson earlier and found she didn't exactly have a stellar career ... I think we now know why.
#TOTP

That was, to quote the BBC Four announcer, an eclectic music mix. Let's do a load of eclecticism again next week, poppers. Have a great weekend. #TOTP

I'm loving Jo Wiley on this. Always a top professional. #totp

Subtitlers putting their own spin on the lyrics there. #TOTP #1998Watch

Play Kid Creole! #TOTP

I'd completely blanked how many boy/girl bands there were. #totp

Gertcha! Oh no, wait. #TOTP

No idea about this lot. #TOTP

I presume that hand is Powell's, so one last time: Powell! Hands! #TOTP #1988Watch

One thing about watching #TOTP with the subtitles on ... I finally know all the lyrics to this song!

He won't feel the benefit. #TOTP

I'd like to apologise for the weekly spam fests of #strictly and #totp — I won't be offended if you want to mute or unfollow. But it's great fun interacting with people while we watch UK TV live.

Dodgy 'tache though, Midge. #TOTP

The lyrics are quite clever, really. #TOTP

About as literal choreography/staging as you can get. #TOTP

"A very very clever man from Scotland by the name of Midge Ure" 😂 #TOTP

I want to be all snarky about the dance routine but it's all actually rather impressive. #TOTP

Paging @…: you can do that post about the trombone solo again! #TOTP

#totp Hey, I'll get up and get busy when I'm good and ready.

We're so early in the concept of music videos that Tommy Vance referred to the video for Ashes To Ashes as "this piece of film". #TOTP

#totp young Jimmy Carr on the decks.

#totp Great backing beat. Very "grand master"

Pondre! #totp

As #TOTP pays out with Maria McKee, it transpires that Mrs Losttourist claims to have never seen Days of Thunder. Off to the bay of pirates we go, for this needs to be rectified immediately! #TOTP

Loving this. #totp

See youse all next time. Totposse. #totp

Way too many strings on that there bass. #totp

I love Cerys. Put that on the front page. #totp

Say lovey.
#TOTP

Well that had me singing into a beer bottle for a mic. #totp

Super-frilly sleeves notwithstanding. #TOTP

Oh it's Natalie Imbruglia. That'll do. #TOTP

Ok this is not doing it for me. Unless "it" is bringing rage. #totp

Dangerously close to a wardrobe malfunction there. #TOTP

Oh what fresh hell is this?
Please make it stop.
#TOTP

I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but this is giving me dirty uncle vibes. #totp

Finally they've let Mel C wear something other than a tracksuit. #TOTP

Jane Middlemiss implies the existence of Jane Leftmiss and Jane Rightmiss. #totp

I've always got a bit of time for a band with a proper horns section, mind. #TOTP

I think it's becoming abundantly clear that we are witnessing the death throes of #TOTP. It's surprising it still took another few years to finally put it out of its misery.

Pondre has utterly sucked all the vital force out of this song. Song Vampire. #totp

You can snark all you want about C'est La Vie, I like this song.
Yeah, you heard #TOTP

Geri might as well have already left for all the effort she put into that performance. #TOTP

I wonder what the pet shop boys will do for their stage performance ........ #totp

Hello. Not sure how long I'll be able to stick around for tonight, but we'll give it a go ...
#TOTP

Also I've just realised that the flag-shaggers seem to have gone back in time and painted over Zoe Ball. #totp

I have woken up with Nick Berry's Every Loser Wins as an earworm and yes that is exactly why I am now googling "how to prosecute Top of the Pops for crimes against humanity".
#TOTP

Hold on.
HOLD ON!
Do I see ... yes I do ...
#KEYTAR KLAXON
#totp

I have no great love or dislike for Gloria Estefan, and I don't think I've heard this song before, but it's a nice enough little pop tune and well performed by a proper professional. Makes a change for late 90s #TOTP.

I regret to inform you that Mrs Losttourist is still busy upstairs doing stuff, and has not yet come down to tell me to turn this rubbish off. So it seems I have to sit through another half hour of musical hell. #TOTP

Less fresh Mayo. #TOTP

Cornetto, anyone? #TOTP

KEYTAR KLAXON no.2 Oh #TOTP with these instruments you really are spoiling us.

Wha wha wha what indeed. #TOTP

Wrong song, Mr Guitarist. #TOTP

This is a very good video. #TOTP

Absolutely peak Madge. Awesome. #TOTP

Did Mel C forget to put a shirt on? #TOTP

That Fairlight's not even plugged in. #TOTP

Saving this one for future 90s episodes. #TOTP

Even the funky slap bass can't rescue this dirge. #TOTP

Fuck's sake. Shamed by Simon Mayo. My life is over. #TOTP

This sounds frighteningly close to being a Jive Bunny mix. #TOTP

It's allowed the BBC to bring Pervy Cameraman out of retirement. #totp

There is more hard rock in this chart than I would have predicted. #TOTP

Neil's come dressed for a night out at the posh club. Chris ... hasn't.
#TOTP

Looks like MC Hammer was dressed by the same wardrobe assistants who outfitted the Spice Girls earlier. #TOTP #NoShirt

Sorry Howard. It was better when you just did the instruments and Jed was ... yeah well Jed's gonna Jed. #TOTP

As did Emma. And Mel B. Looks like Victoria's the only one who's got herself properly dressed this morning. #TOTP

Hope you enjoyed that. I did, except for the bits that I didn't.
See you here same time same place next week! #TOTP

Cerys Matthews coud literally stand on stage reciting the alphabet and her accent would make me melt. Nobody Welshes as well as Cerys Welshes. #TOTP

Genuinely, as far as I'm concerned Madonna's career peaked with True Blue (the album). After that she started getting a bit too pretentious - although still plenty of bangers to come. But this album is just pure perfect pop. #TOTP

It's Robbeh. #TOTP

Also, why on earth was #TOTP starting at 3 minutes to 8? What kind of crack were 1980s BBC schedulers smoking?

Are they on a stage in the #TOTP studio? It looks too big for that.

"It's Madonna, re-entered"
#TOTP

Ahh no, they're on a screen. #TOTP

and she's also dominant, apparently.
#TOTP

Play Lisa Lisa. Do not play Russ Abbott. #TOTP

Marty! Set the controls for 1985, it's time for #TOTP again!

Play Prince, play Feargal, do not play Simply Red.
#TOTP

Do the one about Robin Hood!
(shouted nobody, ever)
#TOTP

Narrator: this track did not in fact make it to Number One.
#TOTP

Thoughts and Prayers please for Mark Knopfler's empty bank account. #TOTP

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WON'T PLAY TOOT TOOT FFS THIS IS MASTODON YOU IDIOTS #totp

Then again at least it's better than this dirge. Pan pipes, Bryan? Really? #TOTP

Bloody hell it's only actual Kylie Minogue in the actual Top of the Pops studio! #TOTP

"I want to thank everyone out there ... but not the Scots, Welsh or Northern Irish" #TOTP

By this point in time the Wombles had a 25 year career in pop. Isn't that impressive! #TOTP #Wombles

It's not 3 minutes to 8 and it's not a Thursday night but otherwise you're bang on the money Bates. #TOTP

This is fairly generic bland Europop, isn't it. And so it's impossible to get it out of your head. #TOTP

Here is the soundtrack listing for Rocky IV with literally one Go West / Richard Drummie track on it. #TOTP
