Lee & Herring present Top Of The Pops (25.05.1995)

[@MrBuch169169]

I wish every TV show were presented by people with nothing but contempt for the show. xD

[@sketchyjoe]

“The commercial pop singer is a necessary evil of a capitalist society and seeing as it must exist, what a pity they can’t all have the same grace and power and artistry as... McAlmont & Butler!” is possibly the greatest intro of all time.

[@nickmazonowicz511]

OMG, I’ve just seen Stewart Lee presenting TOTP 27 years ago. He looked thin, happy and thin!

[@Nexus7even]

This is the best thing I;ve ever seen, kind of. “The commercial pop singer is a necessary evil of a capitalist society and seeing as it must exist, what a pity they can’t all have the same grace and power and artistry as... McAlmont & Butler!” & "We're only the presenters, it's not our fault!" about the number 1 act ahahaha, love it. It wouldn't have ended if these two were always presenting it.

[@dralfredcarroll9567]

GashHound Followed by Richard Herring saying “you wanker”

[@Torthrodhel]

I remember seeing those rap singers on the Top of the Pops.

[@cats-uk]

Bless you for uploading this

[@bazzabaz]

Robson Green's mum actually phoned up the BBC to complain about Rich and Stew being mean about her son the very next day after this was broadcast, true story.

[@Stiffupperjoystick]

Ant and Dec have let themselves go.

[@Thagros]

Awesomes. Cheers for uploading.

[@hoppinonabronzeleg]

Genius, not only have we edited all the boring bits out, we have shortened it. Entertaining, surely the best episode of Top Of The Slops ever. Yes POp act may have upped their game if we had had more hard edged crytique of some of the dross that dare strum a fender on TOTP. Rich & Stu pulling no punches, and a stealth swear there too!! Only topped by Matt Bianco on SaTURDay Superwhore. 'ya bunch of wazzoks!!' - GREAT!!

[@artvandelay1]

Great stuff, thanks for this!

[@andrewmillertime]

Young Richard Herring sounds like Jools Holland

[@DexterAndCromwell]

"You wazzock!"

[@LouFederer]

Stewart was so cute.

[@paulsmartialarts]

I've got two performances of it on tape. If neither are on youtube I can get one or both up.

[@BelatedCommiseration]

Yeah...TOTP should have Lee and Herring on more often. Its good to have presenters that can make brilliant comments like that instead of just rapturous vacuities.

[@RichardGillen]

How young do they look? Makes me quite nostalgic for TOTP

[@Reznor616]

If TOTP maintained its revolving door of cynical, edgy presenters instead of wheeling out the same sycophantic slags every week like they did towards the end, it might still be on telly.

[@kelpkelp5252]

hah weird hearing FSOL at the end.

[@PompeyLegend2009]

and it is milan.... brilliant

[@forgive7449]

milan surely !

[@shelbyvillerules9962]

You’ve seen them, the young twenty-something comedians on the Top of the pops?

[@paulsmartialarts]

@Alexking99 I'm yet to recieve any complaints from Bon Jovi or Michelle Gayle fans, but the 14 year old me with limited VHS space apologises

[@deeziloves]

Weren't they lovely, but wasn't it a bad week for music?

[@corpseyfest]

"Hey, its Jimmy Sommerville! YES!"

[@babyshambler]

Yep.

[@harryturner8701]

Got the verses are very beautiful

[@paulsmartialarts]

@Alexking99 as much as I posthumously admire the stuttering old age pensioner for his cover of Queen's 'The Invisible Man', I wasn't really vibing to his scene back in 1995. I'm very sorry for being such as asshole and not taping him. BTW video tape space was limited (or limiting) I had to steal out my mum's purse to fund them and very occasionally I'd even feel guilty. Plus, I never wanted to watch Scatman John again. RIP

[@tobleramone]

@Gary190tube "You wazzock" I think.

[@1983coxy]

It was "wazzock", I think.

[@sinistralstrummist1462]

Manchester did lose - 1-0 to Everton. (and the loser of the European Cup that year was Milan).

[@StobzillaYT]

@davidtrochtova Morris Mitchiner has spoken.

[@Gleryff]

Scatman John.

[@brandongill2577]

ITV Chart Show at the beginning...

[@sidevans1]

does rich call stew a wanker just before McAlmont & Butler?

[@davea3080]

+sidevans1 Think he said 'wazzock'

[@hanumaniam]

Yes

[@mioufie23]

Smashy and Nicey have let themselves go

[@nibunibu4254]

Girl in Tartan hat on right of screen at 0.48, looks thoroughly disgusted by the proceedings.

[@ChrisShipton2008]

It reminds me of how utterly shot Top of the Pops was and is

[@kamrantazz]

where's rich's other arm....

[@paulsmartialarts]

@Alexking99 it was lung cancer that cut him off (not an asshole)

[@Gary190tube]

"YOU WANKER" at 1:30 ????

[@cats-uk]

He said you wazzok

[@smugmode84]

​@@cats-uk i hear both but definitely heard wanker first, its another yanny/laurel audio illusion

[@rugsunshine]

They're only in their mid 40's.

[@phezza2000]

Ali Campbell's let himself go

[@RiKxWolfman]

actual ROFL!

[@StobzillaYT]

@12345l6789 Duh, because the anonymous man on the internet said so.

[@SolidGoldCEO]

Its funny TOTP got axed in the decade where every Saturday night is filled up with dull popstar wannabes.

[@sean2mush]

never knew lee was a kids tv presenter

[@dene39]

Not averse to pocketing the fee though, I imagine.

[@joannepsi]

It was a bad DECADE for music!

[@nibunibu4254]

Top of the plops! What a steaming pile of mediocre musical bumwash. Good presenters though!

[@Evemeister12]

Stewart Lee's let himself go.

[@ChrisShipton2008]

I meant to say shit.

[@MonkeyMagicMonk]

what a dreadful top 10..
