[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

Yes it was too. It is so nice to see these totp editions which alas bbc four will not reshow due to the presenters of course too.

[@josephryan362]

​@@BruceDanton-xw6egI think it has something to do with David lee Travis being a band host for BBC four repeats

[@Aramanth]

[@alanfox4172]

I was a big fan of Japan and David Sylvain solo career.

[@KarlHainer]

'Red Guitar' by David Sylvian -Brilliant song & video.

[@popehadrianthe4th]

Probably the most played record I own.

[@ShadowTVNetwork]

That David Sylvian song is so good. Just a shame it’s on a DLT episode.

[@BruceDanton-xw6eg]

Bbc four of course have reshown some editions of totp on a friday night for some years now since 2010. But it is nice to see the ones they dont show though too.

[@mangeire]

Thanks for posting, another episode that won't be rebroadcast on BBC4 because of DLT

[@DarrenTS13]

Why dont they just edit these episodes with new voiceovers?

[@sevenwilliams3485]

they used to play this at the disco ....i was 11 wtf did i know about searching and looking for love?

[@bendover9663]

Haha 😂 great comment

[@brianmarshall4753]

Thank you for loading that but BBC four will wouldn't show it because of Dave Lee travis scandal

[@danielnewton7357]

No one told Hazell Dean that the 1970s were over.

[@amaher5755]

anybody have part 2 of this show - i need to see the smiths?

[@mikeluke9404]

The best band ever! Heaven knows were miserable now, with civid19! Keep safe world.

[@maxfrasier]

@@mikeluke9404 erm do you have part 2 ?

[@Markjuk]

It is bloody ridiculous why the BBC won't show DLT editions. Savile editions understandable but DLT unjustifiable. The man has served his "time for the crime" and now no longer has to officially declare his conviction - as the "spent" period of his conviction has now elapsed. In effect he is no longer a "criminal". However the BBC acting as the PC martyrs they are, still ban DLT editions from the weekly repeats of TOTP. They are not only acting unlawfully (discriminating) against DLT, using "editorial decisions" to hide behind but are continuing to use DLT as a scapegoat for their own past failings. In effect, if I were DLT I would have sought legal action against the BBC for continuing to "airbrush" from TOTP history for no good or valid legal reason. However he has probably seen enough court action is his lifetime not to want to bother. This was a good edition from May 1984 we won't be seeing. It also featured The Smiths "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" and Elton John "Sad Songs" from memory.

[@halloweenville1]

Or at least they could just delete the talky parts, who cares what the likes of Savile would be saying if they deleted his camera introductions, just play us the music that we love and stop punishing the artists by not playing their music, crying shame that the BBC are so vile to the people and artists that love this show, yet so lovingly PC to the fuddy duddy's that just complain for a living, and never watch it.

[@FMTCH]

I wonder how some of the women he assaulted would view your comments

[@skipindarskipindar8308]

FMTCH Selfish cretins like Mark j don't care about rape and sexual assault. Probably the sort who think women deserve it.

[@mozz71]

Halloweenville Well, that’s basically TOTP2 isn’t it?

[@DaguAndHerStuff]

@@skipindarskipindar8308 Don't wet your pants with your "righteousness". Your comment is so stupid and have nothing to do with the topic. Do you really believe BBC shelved all those episodes to "protect" those poor women who would be triggered for sure because of seeing some old TV show with guy who was already punished by the public? Of course not, they try to wipe evidences of the fact they were covering guys like this for many years. I can't see any reasons history of music should suffer with deleting episodes of valuable show only because some Skipindar Skipindar is crying online that everyone who doesn't agree with his white-knightish believs is "cretin".

[@brianmarshall4753]

This re run TOTP from 31st May 1984 didn't show on BBC four following the wake of Dave Lee Travis scandal

[@philipbonner6486]

As Dave Lee Travis wasn't found guilty.

Be careful DLT In years to come you maybe get a visit from The Police... and I don't mean Sting

[@melgrant7404]

Gorgeous suggs xxxx

[@rgrndu]

None of those were hits in the U.S.. The “top of the pops” in ‘84 in the U.S. were Prince, Tina Turner, Madonna, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Cyndi Lauper, Culture Club, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, Hall & Oates, & The Pointer Sisters.

[@FuckSlowShit]

At least they sound better than today's celebrities

[@cbryson5707]

State of DLT. He looked like a driving instructor or something. Not exactly trendy. Seems a nice enough bloke though

[@zetametallic]

Can imagine him being a driving instructor actually. When I was 18, the bloke I had used to chain smoke and try to touch me up, so yeah...DLT!

[@skipindarskipindar8308]

This is like watching your dad and his creepy handsy brother trying to act cool around your friends. What were they thinking getting ridiculous old men to present a pop music show?

[@danielnewton7357]

I remember the over the top dancers as a kid. I always thought they looked like complete idiots lol.

[@joannedwyer-bc5py]

Doesnt Hazel Dean bat fo the other team 😅 even tho shes searching for a man 😅😅

[@spokest]

Suggs looks like he's got the beginnings of Parkinsons with all his little shudders

[@briandavis8939]

Shut up I went to a disco madness songs were on so I got on the floor doing Suggs and won a trophy 🏆 and a madness record but the best thing I never even entered the dancing complication I didn’t even know that there was one. I’ve always been a Madness fan from 1979 and this was 1985 I think

[@MrMikomi]

Disappointing episode.

[@JohnTaylorMusicClips53]

Don't trust DLT one bit. Burn his episodes!!!

[@mozz71]

John Taylor no need for that, just edit the twat out.

[@pipoo1]

Here’s a thought, DLTs first trial was a complete failure for the CPS, so they had a second go at him, added one extra charge the ONLY charge they got a conviction on, so that was two trials, just one charge they managed to somehow make stick. I’ve always thought the DLT trial stank to high heaven myself and was more a case of framing someone who fitted the bill after Saville rather than genuine justice. It’s not like the CPs and Police don’t have a long history of such behaviour, and as we know it was subsequently found that many of the allegations against famous people in the wake of Saville were basically just lies and fantasy from mentally ill people and attention seekers.

[@maxfrasier]

Have a word fella
