42years of Top Of The Pops - and they give us 1 hour!
After 42 years broadcasting, Top Of The Pops did their final show on 30th July 2006. The show lasted 1 hour and was pretty abysmal. They flashed over many of the records, but they allowed full plays for alleged child molester Michael Jackson, and public lavatory trawler George Michael (is it something to do with the name Michael?). After 42 years was this the best they could offer? There have been many great performers for example Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues 13 May 1965, Otis Redding Dock Of The Bay, Canned Heat, Santana etc. Why wasn't the show done over 3 hours or 5 1-hour shows covering 5 decades? BBC you're crap!

Sorry, I didn't mention Cliff Richard. I believe he has appeared more times on Top of the Pops than any other artist and didn't get a mention. They should have at least done the song when he duets with Van Morrison - was it "When God's Light Shines on You" ?
