Friday's 10pmBBC 2 Comic relief Top Of The Pops rated 6.7m (31.6%)

is it time for it to come back?

 

Maybe 8pm on a Thurs after Eastenders or have a music hour on a Weds

8pm Classic TOTP and then 830pm New Totp

 

what does everyone else think?

I love to see it back, it be great for artists to get their music across to the public.

 

Best time for it will have to be on a Saturday tea time slot 5pm, it doesn't have to be the same format at least we have a music show of some kind. And instead of 30 minutes, run it for 45 minutes, and have the news after it.

I like the idea of a split hour between TOTP and TOTP2. 6.7m is amazing, especially on BBC2. But I don't think it will cause a comeback full time, because it wouldn't have done anything like as well without CR. I haven't watched it yet, but I taped it - was it any better than the Xmas shows?

Problem is, by Saturday the official chart is very out of date...

I'd love to see it back, I think it can draw good audiences when it has various specials but I can't see it maintaining strong viewing figures if it was weekly. :( The effect it seems to have on the iTunes chart shows that there must be some demand for it at least. Maybe they should run monthly editions for a year and bring it back weekly if it manages to sustain decent viewing figures?

They should definitly bring it back and it shows if they promoted right and got a decent time slot it can do well,the biggest mistake before was putting on at the same time as coronation street.id love to see it come back and it would the only show for live performnaces on the main channels.

I used to think I wanted it back, but now I'd say no way. You can just tell they would be getting the same acts to perform their songs, sometimes performing the same song more than once, and they would just be adding to the slowdown of the charts by keeping these old tracks around for longer. Now if it was about breaking fresh new music, without being biased towards guitar bands like they were before it was cut, and more open to other genres of music, then maybe I'd think it would be good.

AGreed, but there needs to be one criteria - it plays what's in the chart, or what soon will be, with no consideration of genre. That IS what TOTP was all about.

YES PLEASE

It needs to come back. :cheer:

 

That's what promotional tools are about. :D

Blimey! 6.7 million on BBC2 at 10pm on a Friday night is amazing!

I think if it came back they should feature songs that chart in the Top 75/Top 100 or even new releases,

this would help acts that struggle to make the Top 40.

I think it will come back at some point, it's only a matter of time really.

yes but then again it was On a friday

ithink if they were to put it into a new slot and promote it and give it a 2009 make over

feature people performing album tracks and b-sides that are being downloaded as well as having the Uk's Official Number 1 single

and have a mixture of different types of music every week rather then just pop or just rock ect have something for everyone
