Tonight's TOTP repeat features the first of 6 performances from Pulp on the show in 1995. I always watch them anyway, but thought a thread would be useful for anyone not in the habit of watching.

Sounds good. So, according to Pulpwiki, we can expect "Common People" tonight and next week then in future: "Mis-Shapes", "Sorted for E's and Wizz", "Disco 2000" plus the Christmas Special where they played "Common People" again

 Gary Glitter presented the "Disco 2000" edition so zero chance of that, I'm afraid.

That was for Live & Kicking, wasn't it? The TOTP appearance for Disco 2000 was broadcast from some foreign rooftop carpark as they were on their European tour when it became a hit.

I think he presented that as well. I suppose that they could show an edited version with all his parts removed.

 Afraid there's no chance of that, it'll just be skipped.

Sadly the BBC are unwilling and unable (it seems) to make any sort of edit. I wonder if BBC4 even have a budget for any staff at all.

I loved that Disco 2000 performance from the rooftop. It was Marseille wasn't it. I'm sure I have a memory of my mam asking, 'oh, are they from Marseille?'

They have in the past managed small edits to rescue episodes (e.g. to remove brief appearances by problematic artists like R Kelly) but they've never edited out presenters wholesale. Naturally any episodes hosted by Savile/DLT etc were a no-go, but when they reached the early 90s, former presenter Adrian Rose refused to allow them to screen any of his 15 episodes, so they were all skipped. Similarly any hosted by Mike Smith in the 80s, who vetoed all repeats of his work before his death (a decision that his widow Sarah Greene could have reversed, but decided against out of respect for his wishes).

As for budget, BBC4 is effectively an archive repeats channel now - not wholly bad news for those of us who like that sort of thing, but nevertheless a crying shame for a great channel that brought us the likes of Detectorists, The Thick Of It, Brian Pern, Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe etc.

Jarvis picks up the gold mic again (the week of the iconic Blur v Oasis chart battle) tonight at 7pm on BBC4.

Will be available on iPlayer for a month: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001w2m3

At the beginning of March, BBC-owned digital channel U&Eden (Freeview channel 57) added repeats of Top Of The Pops to their schedule, beginning with January 1997.

With three episodes a night six nights of the week (Saturday to Thursday 7-9pm), they've already caught up and passed BBC Four (who show 2 x 1997 episodes a week), and will soon reach 1998.

Which is basically my way of telling you that Pulp will be turning up with Help The Aged this Sunday (9th March) at 7.40pm and again on Monday (10th March) at 7pm.
