1983,I was 13 and doing my "options" at senior school and deciding what subjects to take...none of that mattered.😂 I'm now in the US and a US citizen. 😊

[@charligasparutti2012]

Jimmi the Hoover. Much pumped by Peter Powell. Great tune none the less. I do wish it was still 1983.

[@Greatricardo5244]

So do i , it was great back then 😊 .

One of the best years of my life and magic memories of someone very special....❤️

Great edition of top of the pops with Jimmy the hoover and freze aeiou and some other great bands and presented by pat Sharp and Jimmy salves

[@christenzis6237]

This is one of the best TOTP of the 80’s.

[@West.Ham1964]

Ah yes, I remember in the early days of UK Gold when they showed random episodes of TOTP. I loved it, of course it was well before youtube so anything like this was a real treat.

Baby Robert Smith. Beautiful music

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

NOTHING takes the smile off my face quicker than seeing 'savile' in anything {I dont capitalize his name}, I never really liked him anyway but you felt a bit compelled to like him for all the charity work, we know better now of course, I would love to break his jaw

[@liquidninja6654]

2/3 of The Glove is in this episode! The Cure’s Robert Smith of course, and Zoo dancer Jeannette Landray.

[@craigharrison7064]

Fantastic year with so memories of being a carefree 15 year old. Great to see Lotus Eaters get a mention.

[@shanef8728]

I really coulden't understand why the BBC didnt edit Saville out of the totp programmes he presented! Or just show them with a warning that he would be presenting the show! People watched totp for the music, not the presenters!

[@TheJules2011]

He should have been edited out permanently from birth

[@maxfrasier]

Have thought the same for long time ! Just edit out his bits, how hard can that be. Unless it's John Peel with his witty throwaways I'm not watching TOTP for the presenters

[@simongill4715]

And pretend he never existed? What I don’t understand is why people are so surprised. An old man hanging around little kids, no wife, doing lots of “charity work” the public are to blame too

[@PeterPumpkinEater75]

The actual reason for this is because some of the complaints made by TOTP audience members can be traced back to actual existing episodes and the BBC doesn’t feel it appropriate to show these clips even with Savile removed as the victims can also appear in group/ audience shots. Fans asked in 2012 for Savile and DLT episodes to either be edited or shown with a warning and got that response

[@DRAINPIPE57]

The best time in the 80s 1982-83 Trouble is this will never get shown on BBC 4 in spring or summer 2018 due to its presenter Saville

[@ajs41]

+DAVID PYPER Plenty of other 1982-83 shows will be shown, happily.

[@Glamking1]

Well good news its been pushed forward into 2017 as we'd may see Jimmy the Hoover on the fronted 07/07/83 show which isn't Saville or DLT, as 2016 is the unlikely usual suspects of the double-bill year, and hoped next year would do as well, sadly it just leaves out 42 episodes including the two-part Christmas specials that don't involve Saville as he was already doing his fix-it.

[@goffer43]

Fortunately it could mean that we'll get to 1984 sooner when 'The Pops bade farewell to both Savile & DLT. Thus BBC4 will have to show ALL of the episodes after they've both gone!

[@jayrox40]

Word is they may not be showing the Mike Smith editions.

[@Glamking1]

I've complained about that one with it being corrected on BBC Four's schedule, as despite the late DJ passed away on the first day of August 2014, over the will was left by his widow.It hasn't yet been prevented from being shown yet, but they did show a clip of him in the 1982 documentary five months back and the Wham! performance was also from it. Previously back in 1994, he did block some of his episodes not to be shown on UK Gold at the time when he was alive.

[@AnonAnonAnon]

Jimmy Savile must have been around a hundred years of age when this was recorded. All those young people and the BBC had that dinosaur presenting ToTPs (even before the allegations started). He looks like a grandad who's found his old summer holidays vest and has popped to the pub for a pint and a dance.

Vile Saville did his own thing on the chart countdown I see, by not giving the song title just the artist, which we could see displayed anyway. They STILL had him back after that fuck up, plus he always groped girls on camera whilst he presented TOTP. He turns my stomach.
