IF BBC4 still survives then this will, no doubt, be the last TOTP episode to ever air on the channel.

They could repeat Christmas & New Year editions from 2006-2023 though, but not the last ever weekly episode.

The arrival of KZbin (2005) affected music programs and music channels 🥹 that was an evolution of the music that came in the future.

Music chart mean nothing now

What music.complete tripe.

[@LostHatProductions]

15:50 I remember when they would do a random TOTP2 moment and play an oldie, but most of all I remember that there would be a sudden time when the audience of the present would start whooping suddenly before the song had ended as if to say ‘that’s all you’re getting from that because we are in control and you aren’t’. They still do that on bbc R1&2, like when they play a bunch of classic songs but stop it just after the second chorus, as if hearing the whole thing isn’t necessary to enjoy it fully.

Why did this show end? These songs from 2006 were really good.

[@pionelpessi1022]

The ratings fell.

[@deadeye_john]

@@pionelpessi1022 How?

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@deadeye_johnIn the early 90s, the TOTP viewing figures began to decline. In 1991, when Stanley Appel became producer, he wanted to revamp the show by introducing a team of unknown presenters. They gained viewers to start with, but it fell to 6.5m by May of 1992. In 1996 the ratings went down even more when the show moved to Fridays opposite Corrie And finally following the revamp in late 2003, it fell to 3m, and the move to BBC2 in 2005 didn’t help either.

Online killed toto

I hate it when Aleshs Dixon wears such long skirts😡

[@mikerotch5880]

A suitable end to it all, a fake band pretending to play their instruments to an actual great band's song from 30 years previous.

[@kimgrant3879]

It was mimed for years and was popular for years.
