[@frankjackson2359]

A absolute blast from the past from the very first second.

[@tonymagnier9846]

Great track (cut short) from the Lightning Seeds, the genius of Broudie. A very energetic TOTP this with Riverdance too!

Cotton-eye Joe. Groovy ;)

Portishead we’re something else.

[@dynjarren7523]

This is nice! I actually got to see a BBC typical evening Schedule. The programs looked interesting. Then a whole Top of the Pops episode! Of course, I never heard of any of these groups. Thanks for uploading this!

[@stevencassidy6982]

When top of the pops 1995 ends up on BBC four it's almost a clean sweep of episodes for the year except for December 7th Gary glitter presents so it jump a week (update this episode and the previous week's top of the pops will start on BBC four from next Friday 14th July

[@chriswinwood6501]

They seem to have ground to a halt in 1994 on BBC4 😟

[@Schnorbs]

According to Top Of The Pop facts on Twitter, they cut one out as it featured an R Kelly video over the Top 40.

[@bluewater4430]

wot progam do you ues for the Picture ?

[@johnball5476]

Lottie long legs how did you convert the totps footage from vhs to you tube.

[@LottieLongLegs]

@@johnball5476 It was transferred from VHS to a DVD recorder then ripped to PC

[@craigodlin]

Do you have any episodes from the 90’s with Mark Franklin, Tony Dottie and Claudia presenting?

[@LottieLongLegs]

Craig Odlin Yes, but most of them are still on VHS

[@craigodlin]

Do you have any plans to upload them?

[@LottieLongLegs]

Craig Odlin I have no way of doing so at the moment.

[@sarahwells2623]

Do you have the episode before this please?

[@rondonnis6588]

why is there irish tap dancing on totp there is no lyrics too it so why put it on with pop singers?

[@LottieLongLegs]

ron donnis Because it was in the charts, and that’s what TOTP covers/covered 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@JoeAyres]

Good video, but not keen on Riverdance, nor the karaoke act doing a terrible job of Bonnie Tyler's classic hit! It's like she's finished a shift at Asda, bought the kids a fish and chip supper, and gone into a pub to sing, for a bit of a laugh!!

[@acidmack1041]

1995 was such a shite year for pop...a poor follow up to a pretty decent 1994 in pop music

[@theculturedthug6609]

What.... You are getting shite mixed up with brilliant there lad.
