I read in this morning's paper that the BBC are toying with the idea of shunting Top of the Pops off onto one of those digital channels because viewing figures are low. Surely all they have to do is move it into Children's Hour where it would receive the correct audience. I have not watched TOTP (as it's called these days) for a long time, I wouldn't know what number one is to save my life. Last time I did watch the programme it was nothing more than a parade of precocious children presented by a screaming girl dressed as a hooker.
No, it's not like it used to be back in the days of my yoof. Thursday night was the highlight of the week. My mother and I danced around the drawing room to the latest sounds from Bowie, Kool and the Gang, Stevie Wonder and that man who killed himself. Happy Days, happy days indeed.
