THE TIMELORDS – Doctorin’ The Tardis :thumbup: :thumbup: :lol: :thumbup:

 

I watched the TOTP on 16 June 1977 while sat in the BBC TV lounge at Butlins in Skegness! The entire room was packed full of us kids while the parents were in the next lounge watching whatever ITV was showing at that time... it all seems a lifetime away now, holidays at Butlins and TV lounges...

 

I can't recall that Gene Cotton song being on (though I can't really recall many of the other songs being on either to be honest, it's so long ago), but I'm suprised that TOTP felt the need to show a non-top 50 hit - it was mostly top 30 songs and one or two breakers back then. I think the Gene Cotton song made the Breakers Chart (the "next 10" below #50 that weren't records in decline) but it certainly missed the top 50. A strange choice, unless he was on a promotional tour of the UK and the label pulled some strings to get him on TOTP.
