Christmas 1984 was the best Christmas ever!! Nothing will ever match it!

[jinxer70]

@Feisty1967 if you mean music wise, I have to agree.

[tubezoid]

@Feisty1967 Oh, AMEN to that!

[MARLONSKiUnusual]

ah, the paul mc cartney song is so sweet!

[Feisty1967]

This is the last classic Xmas Top of the Pops, the one where Band Aid were at No. 1 and the whole group stood together on Xmas day and sang "Do They Know Its Christmas?". The following year, pop was taken over by crap such as Whitney Houston, The Pet Shop Boys, and A-ha. All the good groups started to fade out in '85. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

[jinxer70]

@Feisty1967 you're spot on!

[deadkennedy1]

they should never have done away with the pogo for kids :)

[verkaforever]

"I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" should have been a Christmas No.1.

[gallafey]

the frog chorious always get's slaged off for some reason don't why I think its such good tune the Beatles did unusal stuff on Magical Mystery tour george Paul, John & Ringo all deserve credit

This TOTP edition is 25 years old today!

[SuperClint007]

why dont the BBC show TOTP2 anymore they used to show it on a wednesday evening on BBC2 at 6.00 I think . with all the hours of video the have they could make loads & loads of shows

[Glamking1]

No EinsFestival are showing full complete editions of TOTP from the 70's now on late at 10.55pm every wednesday. they have not shown any 80's episode.

[SuperClint007]

Thanks for your reply Glamking 1 (your obviously a 70's fan), but I haven't heard of No Eins Festival, is that a sky channel ?

[Glamking1]

But Eins Festival is not a Sky channel, because its a German digital channel as part of ARD.

if you have a digital satellite system and you are living in the UK, you've got to to either turn your dish to the position of astra satellite at 19,2° east or you have to install a second LNB at this position and you'll need a DiSEqC switch to change between the two LNB's between your usual position at 28,2° east and the one for continental Europe at 19,2° east.

[Markjuk]

@Glamking1 Although many on here love TOTP it is not worth going to the unnessary expense of getting a second satelite dish or fiddling around with an existing dish just to pick up some editions of TOTP? What is needed is to get the old editions screen here again on UK TV a channel such as BBC4 (so that annoying commercial breaks do not ruin the show).

[jinxer70]

@Markjuk you'll be glad to know that's JUST what they did last week!

[glenrea]

I hated that frog chorus song when I was a kid!

[goldersdreamed]

Hey get more Top of the pops of 1984 please as well.

[Markjuk]

@goldersdreamed I do have a few more 84 editions that I will be posting in 2010 reevamp of my page.

[Markjuk]

I do like this edition and is one of my favourites.

[Glamking1]

But i dont have that edition and indeedly Christmas 1984 part 1 had no hosts and in which all of the pop stars got to introduce their biggest songs of 1984 except George Michael and Bono didn't come !!
