Good Riddance

[poliphilo]

The very last Top of The Pops. Yeah- I watched it. 

Forty years worth of bumptious little ditties and chaps in fancy dress. 

It was all so naff. 

Oh my God, that's George Best dancing (half-heartedly) to the Rolling Stones! If the show spawned so many iconic moments, why did they have to show that one twice?

I don't think Bowie was a spaceman; I think he was a plank. 

And the presenters. Yikes! I'd completely forgotten just how embarassing Tony Blackburn is!

I think it was the way the presenters were patting one another on the back last night and making their scripted quips- it suddenly struck me just how rubbish they and their programme were.

And yet I suppose there was a time when I thought it was pretty cool.
