September 12, 200816 yr Mark: would you know how the viewing figures for TOTP were through the years? I remember TOTP in 1985 (though perhaps not that individual episode listed above) where it seemed that more and more songs played were just the video rather than the act appearing in the studio. I know viewing figures peaked in the late 70s, supposedly at 14m (though that may have been during the ITV strike in late 1979 when there was little else to actually watch, unless it was BBC2) but I often wonder how they were during the 80s?
September 12, 200816 yr Also, was "Rapper's Delight" never shown on TOTP in 1979? - there's no date next to it from its TOTP2 appearance. I do remember seeing the video on -of all things - Film 79 with Barry Norman. I would have thought it would have made an appearance on TOTP..? Edited September 12, 200816 yr by Robbie
September 12, 200816 yr I'm stunned that Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) is 23 years old.... scary. And it still sounds orgasmic after all this time....
September 12, 200816 yr Author Also, was "Rapper's Delight" never shown on TOTP in 1979? - there's no date next to it from its TOTP2 appearance. I do remember seeing the video on -of all things - Film 79 with Barry Norman. I would have thought it would have made an appearance on TOTP..? Robbie, The video was shown on the 6-12-79 edition of TOTP - the caption on screen on this edition of TOTP2 shows Dec 1979. I never put a date next to the videos from TOTP2, but presumably they lifted it from there. Regards Mark
