  1. Coming back after a weeks holiday in Wales during a storm is no joke.

    Anyway does anyone know when TOTP2 is back?

    At least I have 4 TOTPs to watch tonight;)

  2. It's good to see a couple of infrequent presenters in the next few weeks. Andy Peebles' one and only singlehanded presenting stint from Oct '79 which I was really hoping to see again as a tribute to him after he passed away earlier this year. Then the week after, a rare TOTP glimpse of Ed Stewart. Thank you BBC4 for those. Hopefully next year will bring plenty more '76 editions like the '75 and '85 repeats this year.
