DLT before the show talking to hair stylist,right then dave what look do you want?UMMM,i think i'll go for the 'human evolutionary missing link 'look .Ok then Dave.
well to be honest if you think reggie yates and cotton are better you got to be kidding they are awful cotton helped kill the show along with the idiots that buy the rubbish in the charts dont bring the show back unles you have 7 songs that are good each week in the top 40 i count 2 or 3 on average . what a pity as i loved the show and watched it from when i was 4 till about 8 year ago 1980-2003 and when dlt used to present i hide behind the sofa as i thought he was a monster circa 1980-1981 lol
This was a time when music was fun and exciting and you couldn't wait to see TOTP on a Thursday. Alas, music isn't exciting these days. I suppose I sound like a miserable middle-aged woman, (43).
@Feisty1967 -sorry my old school friend,but you're not that. I definitely know what you mean.music from the 60's-90's in all genre's is a 100 times better than the music today in all genre's.music had so much more meaning,love,soul,passion,substance, & creativity back then, than it has today.r&b,funk,rock,country,hip-hop ect.. back then had so muck more flavor.today it's all about image.no talent required.there are a few who are o.k.,but 85% are garbage.that's why i kept it old school at (44).
@ Oddwun Dont forget this chart was made on the records sold that week. There was an event concerning Black Sabbath that put Paranoid back on the chart...
Yes, to my surprise #1 was the Police 'Dont stay so close to me'. I was lucky to be in London that time in 1980. But i didnt like Police then. Later they released better hits.
He looks like a bloody Ewok from Star Wars! Utter w@nker of a presenter if you ask me....haven't seen this doughnut for years...and now I remember how annoying he really was..
what a complete fuckwit this man was /is ! .unfunny self absorbed prick . the `hairy cornflake`? the hairy twat more like . he thought he had a job for life at good ol auntie beeb , the deluded moron . did he really think we would all put up with this shit he spouted ? wittering on about fuck all , his unfunny `whacky` comments . his radio show was god awful , trite shite . gallons of runny verbal shite from his hairy gob "KISSY ,KISSY POO"???? what ? ! him and bates we are well rid of ! arghh!
a truly truly shit presenter and dj. The beed had to wake up one day and smell the coffee. when it did it realised what a fucking load of 70s arseholes it had, the biggest and shittiest of the lot DLT
your having a laugh right ?. the only reason people liked them is because they had nothing else !. the beeb was the only place to hear pop music and the old school boys at the bbc had no idea. hence why old geeky twats were given the job of being in touch with the nations youth. there is more choice now with the modern media , hence thats why this lot of "cunts " were given the boot . out dated clueless and irrelevant ! . listen to the shit they all spouted . good riddance to the outdated twats
thats the spirit ! condemn the whole cross section of our diverse youth culture and tar them with the same brush as the media do . more fool you for thinking that a few idiots who wear shit clothes , dont give a fuck about others and know as much about music as there crap parents , represent the nations youth ! .i agree they need a purpose in life but i wouldnt want one of them beside me in a war ! . they arent wanted by the army . your narrow minded views remind me of an old man ! .
I love these TOTP shows from August to Decemeber 1980. they have a "warm" feel. They always had special guests dropping in and some of the DJ's had a chance to express themselves a bit! DLT always seems to be kissing the ladies.

What was the number one song? Was it by The Police? The video got cut off just as the host was about to say what it was.

Why was Paranoid by Black Sabbath up on the charts in 1980? The song was released and hit #1 in 1970.
Oddwun 2 years ago
It was re-released by a independent label with their entire back catalogue in 1980. Many of the albums re-charted as well.
