From next week BBC4 will start showing Top of the Pops. Starting in 1976, they will shoe the equivalent weeks episode form that year each week. I had just turned 6 and I'd imagine that this would be when it first came to my attention. Music shows were few and far between then and this would explain the popularity of the show back then.
Having just taken a glance at the charts for the first week of April 1976, it's looking like a mixed bag for the first episode. What I really want to see is Pans People performing to Jungle Rock by Hank Mizell, what I can be certain of is that Brotherhood of Man will be on as the number one and that Jimmy Saville will look like a right twat.
