Doesn't seem a lot, no major classics missed out on. Although I am really disappointed about missing One Step Beyond Madness. Iconic performance from them where they dance through the audience round the stage.

"no major classics missed out" ???? You DO realise that we're never gonna get The Greedies "A Merry Jingle".

Oh yeh i forgot about that one. And the selector On My Radio is also a classic. What I think the bbc need to do is make a compilation programme of all the missed performances, instead of a Big Hits programme.

So the greatest ever episode with Madness, The Selector and The Specials from 19th October 1979 is not going to be shown?
That's rough.
And all because of an extremely dubious and unsafe DLT conviction too.

Stinks doesn't it? why can't they just show the bands and not the links for that one show? bot that I think it's needed, it's not exactly crime of the century is it?

In what way was his conviction dubious and unsafe? Do you have access to information that the court didn't? IMO far from the greatest episode ever of TOTP.

So yet another famous DJ arrested. This time not an ex Top of the Pops presenter thank god! But Dr Fox from Capital Radio. Not sure of the details as of yet, but when is this witch hunt going to end?!
It begs the question, what if it had been Peter Powell or David Jenson, would there be any point in continuing with the reruns?

Obviously you didn't hear a certain podcast apperently made by the plaintiff. To me it at the very least casts doubt on the verdict.

thank heavens Paul Gambacinni was never a regular TOTP presenter...his case is still pending.

It was reported that two women went to the police independently of each other and made the accusations of sexual assault against Neil Fox. As a result, he was arrested and taken to a police station for questioning. It's not a witch hunt, just simple police procedure.

I thought that episode was a Jimmy Saville-hosted edition? Or am I misremembering?
If DLT did what he was found guilty of, obviously that's not a good thing. But he's not the only person to have done that - so why should he be singled out while others get away with it?
I'm no DLT fan, by any means - but I do think he's been an easy target, while other, more high profile sex pests have escaped the limelight.
And how ironic that this has ruined his career while a woman who was found guilty of assault has her criminal record airbrushed away and gets maximum camera time on ITV's biggest Saturday night entertainment show.

One rule for one …
Has she ever been directly employed by the TV company broadcasting the show?
The repeats would be finished if any of the other regular DJs were arrested, all of this stuff only came out after the re-runs commenced also. Makes me wonder weather those early re-runs in 2011 where we saw JS episodes provoked some of it. Just strange that so many years passed and nothing was said, I guess it was the year of his death also.

Well, they certainly must have invested in her as a member of Girls Aloud when they did Popstars: the Rivals.
I take your point, but I don't think it's that different. One person's misdemeanours are used to rubbish his career, the other's are swept under the carpet.

Still, my disappointment is assuaged since I saw The Selecter performing it (and lots more) live earlier this year. :cool:

The conviction is neither dubious nor unsafe.
I totally agree on both counts!!

Did Gerry Rafferty 'live' in his studio?
His 3 singles featured recently, all the videos were shot in the same place!
Why not? Why should other people suffer by being deprived of watching Top of the Pops?
In the 1979 the presenter hadn't yet committed any crimes.
If one edition had been dual-hosted with Saville and had featured Rolf Harris, then I could understand, but ...

Didn't he co present one with Mike Read for some reason?

Just have a look on youtube and most of those performances are on there - here's New Musik:

Love the comment about Orville.
