Posted November 26, 20195 yr https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapack...ristmas-special It's been confirmed today TOTP will once again return for two specials this Christmas! Both 60 minutes, on Christmas Day and New Years Eve as usual - hosted by Clara Amfo and Fearne Cotton.
November 26, 20195 yr Love it!! Actually forgot about it this year - when is it being recorded - the 10th as usual?
November 27, 20195 yr Love it!! Actually forgot about it this year - when is it being recorded - the 10th as usual? It's being recorded on 8th and 9th December http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/shows/t...ristmas_ny_2019
November 28, 20195 yr Author Kinda related, Craig David will be doing the BBC's New Years Eve concert.
November 28, 20195 yr Quite surprised at that, didn't really think he would be big enough! Edited November 29, 20195 yr by Steve201
November 28, 20195 yr I guess it makes sense in a way as it's now 20 years since his first hit but usually they go for someone more popular with the over 50s!
December 3, 20195 yr Schedules up: 25 Dec 11:35 Lewis Capaldi AJ Tracey Jorja Smith Freya Ridings Tom Walker Labrinth Jax Jones & Ella Henderson Dermot Kennedy Jack Savoretti Sigala & Becky Hill The Script Mabel James Blunt 30 Dec 16:45 Mabel Lewis Capaldi Dermot Kennedy Blossoms Sigma & Jack Savoretti DJ Regard and Jay Sean Freya Ridings Celeste Joel Corry & Hayley May, Tom Walker Lily Moore & Dan Caplen No new TOTP2 Christmas for second year running, but no less than 8 previous specials will be repeated!! BBC Four Story of 1989 on 3 Jan
December 3, 20195 yr Labyrinth is a shocker there - and yet no other BBC support?! Pity there's no totp 2 special but there's loads they can repeat. Pity that the Story of totp 1989 is t on until 3rd January!
December 3, 20195 yr I like how they have switched the order of the names for the new years eve one, that will fool people into not realising it is basically the same people performing on Christmas day and new years eve Haha.
December 3, 20195 yr Delighted to see performances from Blossoms and Celeste in there too. Hope Blossoms perform the new track but suppose they might be made to play the summer hit!
December 4, 20195 yr What an absolutely dull and pedestrian set of line ups (Mabel aside, who I'll just watch on YouTube instead).
December 4, 20195 yr I'm the opposite, there's a few surprises like Lily Moore/Dan Caplan, Celeste & Blossoms to name a few. You expect artists like Tom Walker, Mabel & Lewis. If totp was still on weekly I would say they would have been on 4/5 times this year.

If totp was still on weekly I would say they would have been on 4/5 times this year. Yeah no issue with the likes of them being on. But Christmas TOTP of course used to be just the biggest hits of the year - in fact for many years every record had to have made at least the top 3 just to get on. But of course now TOTP isn't such a big draw they have to put lesser known acts on. Those line-ups would be perfectly fine for a regular weekly edition, but where are Lil Nas X, Billie Eilish, Stormzy, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes...
December 4, 20195 yr I'm surprised Stormzy isn't on there but the others are world wide artists who would be very hard to book 2/3 weeks before Christmas tbf.
December 14, 20195 yr It's one thing I would love to do to and be on totp! As a performer or just bopping in the audience? :D
December 15, 20195 yr Such a dull list. I don’t know why they bother anymore. I remember the Christmas show used to be a pretty big deal with all the biggest hits of the year. They’ve got some of the biggest artists but also an awful lot of filler.
December 15, 20195 yr As a performer or just bopping in the audience? :D Just in the audience of course lol.
