Great stuff tonight,DLT in the documentry and Jilted John played uncut-Perhaps BBC Four have some balls after all
It was sure intriguing in the recent context of his missing episodes and his yet to answer bail. I'm not sure how to read it in all honesty. As far as Savile was concerned, no surprises there, but even if none of his behaviour had emerged I am not sure he would have featured at all in a 1978 inspired TOTP anyway, as he was on the decline in presenting terms by then, and nothing near as relevent as just a couple of years earlier in '76 when the repeats began.
Good 2 shows! - 1978 - Just how I remember it! - Great songs - something for everyone!
- You see BBC - it wasn't too hard to edit out Jimmy Savile was it??

He never actually sang on these hits did he? It was Frank Farian. He was the 1970's Milli Vanilli.
What did you think would be cut-the words 'slag' and '****'?
1979 was another good year, looking forward to the next programme.
Not sure I could sit through a whole programme on 2012 though!!! :eek:
I thought it was Richard Jobson but I could be mistaken (this is like 'Screen Test' )
