I wouldn't watch it, not with all the music channels.

Wouldn't watch it on ITV. Good idea to bring it back though, music channels can't compare because they don't show live performances.

It is the eighth wonder of the world (well my world anyhoo) that TOTP ever got taken off the air. Okay the ratings may have plummeted, but you cannot tell me that shows like Last of the Summer Wine pull in more viewers than TOTP did, there must be tons of BBC shows that had worse ratings when the plug was pulled on TOTP....surely?!?!

Writer Roy Clarke must have in his possession some really incriminating blackmail photos of BBC top brass in order to get that dross commissioned year after year.

Still, it keeps old people off the streets I suppose.
 


To make this clear, I'm pretty sure i read its NOT all of TOTP being brought back, Cowell will just buy rights to the XMAS special, which has been outrageously (in some peoples minds) not taking place anymore.

To be honest, if Cowell does manage to buy the rights he will certainly make it a success. He clearly knows how to pull in big TV ratings.

Does that mean that each artist will need to have a 'sob story' to tell the audience before they perfrom?

I reckon it would be a Xmas special, with Dermot O'leary presenting it, with The Winner of the Xfactor doing there first "Live" Performance after Xfactor and a few current Bands doing old school Xmas songs with a few Adverts in between.

Nope, they would only need to be signed to Sony's record label as Cowell as a some sort of deal with them!

As soon as Dave Lee "Hairy Monster" Travis has finished his hilarious comedy intro.

Hairy Cornflake, surely.

Have you heard about the time John Peel was invited to DLT's house? Having looked around the house for a bit John noticed that he couldn't see any records about.
"Where do you keep your records, Dave?" Peel asked.
"Oh, I don't have any records, they tend to attract the dust" came the reply.
