From the early 00's we had a music show called Popworld air on Channel 4 on Sunday mornings at 10.30am. Hosted by Simon Amstell and Miquita Oliver who brought some great and iconic interviews and performances.
I found myself hooked to watching it back then for a few years mainly from 01-03! Some performances from Britney, GA and others below Share some of your fave interviews or performances here! |

I didn’t really like Simon Amstel to be honest. Was the sarcastic thing a persona or was he really just a bell end?

Loved it! I used to watch it religiously every Sunday to get their "chart predictions" ahead of the chart being revealed later that day.

I loved it too, some of the interviews and features were hilarious, it was a bit like the humour of the website Popjustice but on TV. Simon was very droll and knew how to wind people up, but was hilarious, and Miquita bounced off him really well but came across as super professional considering how young she was when she started.
Didn't Leigh Francis (aka Keith Lemon) get his break on this show too as a character called Barry? |

I don’t think I've seen that interview but she came across really sweet in it!

Just scrolling through some of these and I spotted one interview is still up featuring someone extremely problematic oops. |

I loved Popworld! Simon was hilarious!! There were quite a few awkward interviews
S Club 7 walking off after being asked about their pay (or was it CD:UK?), Darren Hayes being asked about his sexuality and getting upset, Avril really not getting Simon’s humour. I also remember Simon interviewing Amy Winehouse in 2004 (before her image revamp) and their friendship was super cute.

A massive clue would be sharing the same name as a Steps member!
-- Here's a 2004 interview with Amy! |

Oh god I totally forgot about him.
 Yes that's the Amy thing I meant. Love how they are shamelessly promoting her around London.

I absolutely love the part of that video where she throws a brick at Dido's album billboard and shouts "I hate you Dido"
It's forever etched in my mind. |

Omg this I never really "got" Popworld as a kid so was never inclined to watch it but now I've seen clips since as an adult and the humour is what made it all. |

 Some people just don’t get the humour. |

The Amy Winehouse/Simon Amstell stuff was gold.
