TOP OF THE POPS ON arte
The French equivelent of TOTP2 is being broadcast on Arte which features BBC TOTP Archive performances NEVER seen on TOTP2 or any other BBC programme.
WHY???????????
When BBC producers of TOTP2 REFUSE to show you these amazing performances, instead you get the usual clips time & time again and there's NO stupid comments or stupid captions either.
BBC THIS is how to present this footage, no wonder TOTP2 died on it's arse.
SHOW US, THE LICENCE PAYER, THESE GEMS, never mind foreign TV FIRST.
Yes BBC WW was supposed to be looking into it but selling the programme abroad first shows just what contempt BBC has for music fans in BRITAIN.

See what I mean:
Among many others you thought were lost forever:
Well done to arte for bringing these out of the cupboard, unlike the BBC, what are they afraid of?

so how many of the clips do you know that are
"lost forever" ?
and some of em are from crappy VHS NOT NEW dig tv?
nice to see someone at least dusting this stuff down. someone should grab HQ versions of the shows and bung em on some torrent site. the more people who "get into" this material the greater the chance that some more will be found.
Ive found it very frustrating trying to build up a collection of 70's shows to find that most if not all the "hard core" TOTP fans dont want to let other people enjoy what they have.
