    Same old clips we've seen dozens of times before on many other BBC show.

    Cheap time filler.

    Started watching but gave up after 20 minutes. Snippets of boring programs.

    This is terrible, either show the clips in full or have a documentary

    It would be nice to see more than two minutes of each sodding performance >:(

    Quite disappointing.

    Would've preferred a TOTP 2 style show instead.

    But two minutes would be too long for some of the groups and performers shown.

    Two minutes was a reasonable balance.

    Agree! Fair enough they didnt show the clips in chronological order (and some I hadnt seen before) but it was really annoying showing only 30s-1m of a song! Tough to sit through :( >:(

    They could had two programs, One TOTP2 style with all of the music and one with the this style. Anyhow this role has been moved to BBC4 in later years.

    Also what was funny/silly was some of the clips shown were actually from other clip shows (eg The Wailers doing Stir it Up was listed as being on a show from 2012) :D

    Why was there no clips of 'no limits' in there it was one of the highest rating music shows on bbc2 at the time, was looking forward to this programme but it just seemed to be a rehashing of stuff already seen.

    Might be something to do with the BBC being selective about their history.

    Not beating about the bush, Jonathan King created the program.

    It is a shame, as I used to enjoy No Limits as well. Jenny Powell and a bloke with bleached bird poo hair, his name ?
